How safe is Düsseldorf?
You can find the police on the street easily even though there is not a specific event. Living in the almost center of Düsseldorf is not that worried. It’s from my overthinking personally, but in reality they don’t harm you. There also has not been a murder or something for 10 years.

Düsseldorf is quite calm and safe. Just be careful with homeless people, they can be a bit dangerous. So remember to say no and be careful Main train stations are active 24/7, don't worry. If you are traveling, you will not have any problems at the main train station. But it might be better to pay attention to the smaller stations.
Posted: April 19, 2024As a city in the west of Germany, Düsseldorf has 620,000 inhabitants and is relatively well connected in terms of infrastructure. Many buses and trains still run at night, there is a lot of Uber, cabs etc. and there is not a particularly high crime rate compared to other cities. I have lived here for 25 years and there has never been an incident of sexual harassment or coercion. Nevertheless, I am sometimes afraid to be out and about in more deserted areas at night.

Posted: March 22, 2024Living in Düsseldorf feels really safe :) I wouldn’t recommend walking through an forest in the middle of the night but in general you don’t have to worry! Taking the public transportation is really common and safe as well.

Düsseldorf is literally the prettiest city in Germany I’ve visited so far!’ The buildings are huge and pretty, you’ve got a mix of old architecture that reminds me of Paris and you’ve got modern buildings too! The park is super pretty, it’s very safe, the promenade around Rhein is just stunning! It’s super lively and they’ve got lots of cafes and bars next to the Rhein blasting music and people are just having fun ✨

About Me
I am 28 year old and I live in Düsseldorf now. My MBTI is ENFP, temporarily ISFP. Have some friends from all over the world. I smile well, like traveling, desserts, trying out new things. I would like to explore new cities in Europe. I often hear that I react well in conversations. I love learning new languages and expressions. I’m visiting Hannover next week for Messe so I would like to find an accommodation. If you need chilling time, I can also stay quietly. I’m willing to pay for letting me stay.

About Me
I'm a 25 years old Brazilian girl who is in love with exploring this big and wild world. I currently live in Düsseldorf working as au pair and trying to explore Europe as much as I can. I love music (especially jazz, R&B, pop and Brazilian music), movies and also enjoy going out to find out new places at every opportunity ❤️ I believe that there's no wrong way of living life cuz everyone is very unique and has it's own goals and baggage.
