Scam How to Avoid It
Pickpocketing around transit escalators Keep bags zipped and secure when navigating crowded escalators at Nørreport Metro/S-tog interchange and inside Torvehallerne.
Petition/Charity distraction scam Decline to sign clipboards or petitions presented by individuals approaching you on Nørreport plaza.

None. The area is very safe at all hours, though Nørreport station square can become rowdy with intoxicated crowds late on Friday and Saturday nights.
