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! :)
Posted: May 6, 2025When 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.
Posted: April 24, 2025Apart 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

I visited Düsseldorf last year with my boyfriend to attend a concert. While the show was great, we didn’t really feel safe in the city, and the overall vibe felt a bit grey and lifeless. There wasn’t much going on, and it lacked the color and energy we enjoy when traveling. Fun fact: we even had to go all the way to Essen just to find postcards!
Posted: June 15, 2025I staid at my boyfriend’s place. I really enjoyed walking around at night in Düsseldorf. Food is okysh. We visited an Asian “all you can eat” restaurant. The atmosphere was great and people were nice. I like walking near the river during evening :)
