I would say it's quite safe if you use your common sense. Seldom I hear anything happening in the city except for robbery in people's home, when nobody is there. I always feel safe when walking around, even when it's dark and I'm drunk.

As Denmark is known for, it is very safe. There’s not a lot of crime, and people tend to themselves. Odense being a midsize city, it is more safe than the capital, Copenhagen i would say That being said, i do occasionally experience catcalling. And living here, it’s a possibility that something could happen to you, but it doesn’t seem like it would happen to a stranger on the street. I walk alone in the night a lot. It can ofc be uncomfortable or scary at times, but a lot better than the rest of the world

I always walk alone and in My 24 heats og Living I have been uncomfortable only 3 or 4 times. And people are very helpful and nice. The city is not a party city but nice to explore and see for the family or alone

Very safe city with good and easy public transportation. City Center is not too big and there's a lot of opportunities for dining out and nightlife. Have walked home alone multiple times at night without feeling unsafe:)
