Duisburg is Safe the most of the time. There are some areas like Duisburg Marxloh, Hamborn and Hochfeld you shouldn’t go as a stranger. If you know this areas, is still safe but you wouldn’t feel good especially in the evening or in the night. During the day it’s always safe.

As a woman, I oftentimes feel on edge, but in Duisburg, I always make sure to double check my surroundings. Some neighborhoods are better than others, but in areas like city center or district centers one can stumble upon drunks, addicts, and just people, who like disrupting public peace. This goes for public transportation. I would suggest keeping a low profile and avoiding eye contact with anyone who might look sketchy to you.

Duisburg has a bad reputation but how safe it is really depends on the area. The center is pretty safe, walking home at night I don't feel unsave and have never had anything happen to me. In general criminality is relatively low in my neighbourhood, or at least it is not obvious

Duisburg is a small and safe city with beautiful places to visit. You won't have any problems even when exploring on your own here. The streets are clean, the people are respectful and good; there are very few things to worry about while you're here.
