The level of safety in a city is an important factor in choosing a place to live or a vacation destination. In Europe, people often feel safer depending on the region and size of the cities.

According to the survey, the safest city in Europe in 2023 is Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. In this city, 87% of the surveyed residents feel safe. The second and third places are taken by the cities of Oviedo in Spain and Ljubljana in Slovenia.
