Is it safe to travel to Denmark

Denmark is generally regarded as an exceptionally safe place to visit. It is a country with nearly minimal risk of natural disasters, and unlike most other European countries, Denmark's crime rates are average, so common sense should keep you out of trouble.

Some claim that Denmark is the safest country in the world, and while this is true, it is not without hazards. Denmark has recently seen an increase in gang violence, particularly among immigrant populations. These incidents primarily occur in Norrebro, a major immigrant community in northwest Copenhagen. Gang violence related to the trade of hard narcotics is also on the rise, and it is widely assumed that motorcycle groups are behind much of the trafficking of these substances in Scandinavia.

Other areas in Denmark where travelers should be cautious include Orsteds Parken in Copenhagen, where travelers have reported being accosted by gay males. These men have been described as huge and clothed in leather, and while they will leave you alone if you say no or go away, their menacing physical appearance has intimidated many tourists.
