I 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 :)
Posted: May 1, 2025I 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.

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 ✨

Overall it is quite safe - but be careful in the Old Town and don’t stay near the Hauptbahnhof! Don’t go in the parks alone at night. If you want to go partying, take a friend with you. Thr Old Town has many clubs but rather go to the Irish Pubs. They are much safer and cozier.
Posted: December 16, 2025I would say that Düsseldorf is quite a safe city, even during nights. But as a girl you still should be careful and try to avoid empty streets. The most unpleasant place is Hbf, other than that is okay.

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).

Hi, I’m Maitry (30)! I’ve been living in Germany since August 2023 and currently based in Duisburg. The nearest city Düsseldorf is lively, vibrant and fun. I’m a lifelong vegetarian, don’t drink alcohol, and prefer meaningful chats over parties. I love exploring new places, especially the quiet, local, and lesser-known spots and discovering new cafés. I’m curious about cultures, traditional clothes, and cuisines, and I enjoy connecting with like minded women from around the world. Let’s share stories and explore together !
