Felt really safe, the locals helped me install their public transport app (great for moving around, don’t rely on others like google maps), the city was cold but wonderful, people were really friendly and polite, and food was comfortable, soothing. The nature is well preserved and litter is rarely seen on the road.
Posted: August 18, 2025Copenhagen was the city I felt the most safe upon all my trips, very safe even during the night, amazing places, very chill and calm, not so touristic, but it was a treasure. Didn’t felt unsafe as a pari of women traveling there

This was my third time in Copenhagen. I always visit friends so over had a lot of people to show me around. A friend lives near Christiana so I know the place reasonably well and feel safe visiting it. I highly recommend visit ling outside the town and seeing the houses, but be respectful. Food is very good in Copenhagen but you should prepare for how expensive it is.

Copenhagen is a really safe place for tourists. It’s always very calm and very clean. The country provides necessary help and social security to the social groups that are in danger therefore on the streets you will rarely encounter homeless people. Copenhagen is also a very touristic series so in the city centre you always will meet hundreds of tourists that are just like you only looking for amazing experience and good vibes. Danish people by themselves are kind and maybe not the most open but definitely one of the calmest people you will ever meet. Copenhagen is rarely warm so be prepared and take your rain jacket. I personally stayed at the hostel because my budget was limited and Copenhagen is a very expensive city but I would say that hostels are also usually very clean and safe compared to many other places in Europe. I would recommend trying danish pastries there are plenty of pastry shops around the city and definitely try some ice cream in Nyhavn!

I do feel safe in Denmark. Most people are nice and respectful. As a Muslim woman, I didn’t experience any discrimination or interference – people were generally open and accepting. Recommendations: Don’t skip the Parkmuseerne (Park Museum District) – it’s budget-friendly and gives access to several museums with one ticket. A great option if you enjoy history and culture! Food: Try the smørrebrød (traditional Danish open-faced sandwich) – it’s a must-try local dish, even if it wasn’t exactly my taste. Budget: I’m here on a visiting research stay, but for a regular traveler, I’d say expect to spend at least 350 DKK per day, depending on your activities and meals. Getting around: It’s really easy to get around. For tourists, I recommend getting a commuter card – it’s more affordable. The Metro runs 24/7, and even though there’s some summer maintenance work on the S-train, it’s easy to check the updated schedules. If you don’t get a commuter card, using a Rejsekort is a great alternative and widely accepted across all transport systems.

Denmark is a country where people trust authorities and the system to take care of it’s people. And it often excels. Danish people are reserved and not as aggressive or obviously flirting as in the glibal south. However, there is a huge drinking culture, where “people let loose”. Young Danish people have the global record in alcohol use.
