Depends on where you are it’s rather safe. Maybe take care of your belongings in public places and don’t hang out at the central station at night. Overall I did not have any bad experiences yet besides the (unfortunately) normal amount of catcalling at clubs/bars etc.

Düsseldorf is very safe and well-lit, both day and night. Walking alone as a woman feels secure at any time. The Old Town nightlife is also safe, though, as everywhere, usual care when under the influence is wise. Having lived here for years, I find it one of the safest cities I have ever known

Düsseldorf is a very very safe city. But with everything of course Night life is crazy. Especially the Altstadt (old town) where people love to drink you should be extra careful (don’t take drinks form strangers and don’t walk alone).

I feel very comfortable in Düsseldorf, even walking alone at night. It’s a very quiet and safe city. I moved here a year ago from a bigger city in South America and it was a very positive change. Germany in general is quite safe.

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!
