How safe is Düsseldorf?

I stayed there for around 3 days, and felt pretty safe. Though at night there were quite a lot drunk people just roaming around which made me bit uncomfortable but overall I felt quite safe even at night time.

I live in a quarter for students, families and older people (Wersten). My appartment is well connected with public transports, but far enough to be quiet and comfortable as a suburb. I often walk home in the dark or simply get an Uber. Don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions! :)

When you go out at daytime I think it’s pretty safe especially in crowded places.. when it gets dark the streets are pretty scary. just be aware of your surroundings and try to avoid the main station.

Apart from the old town, Düsseldorf is very safe. There, on Friday and Saturday evenings, you sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's not a problem to be out alone, even at night.

I would say it’s save on the day but in the night it’s often lonely and I feel usually not save walking alone in the dark. Many of my friends have bad experiences. All in all is Düsseldorf as save as any other German city I think.

Düsseldorf is pretty safe. Stay away from the train station, Hauptbahnhof, and Worringer Platz. The city center is safe. I usually walk after dark without any problems. But sometimes you could come across strang people

Solo travel

I felt safe but I was also there for 24hrs. There was a lot of places to walk to but I felt limited with choice of things to see. I would definetly recommend the Old Town in the evening for a drink and food.
