Düsseldorf

Düsseldorf is generally safe for solo female travelers. Like any other city, it is important to watch out for your belongings and stay vigilant especially during the night or when visiting less crowded areas. While crime rates are relatively low, minor thefts can occur especially in tourist-heavy locations. Public transport is safe and reliable but again, it's good to be aware of your surroundings. It is also advised to avoid walking alone late at night in less vibrant districts. Overall, Düsseldorf is a safe and welcoming city for solo female travelers when the appropriate precautions are taken.

Based on research and crime data

Safety at night:Safe

Düsseldorf is generally considered safe, even for solo female travelers. The city is well-lit at night, and is monitored by police and private security. Nevertheless, like any big city, certain areas may be less safe than others, especially after dark. It's always a good idea to remain alert, avoid deserted areas, and stick to well-traveled routes. Public transport is reliable, although it's recommended to stay on guard against pickpockets, particularly in crowded areas. Please carry a charged mobile phone for emergencies and let someone know your movements. As always, trust your instinct. If a situation or location feels unsafe, leave immediately.

Public transportation: Safe

Public transportation in Düsseldorf is generally safe for solo female travelers. The city has an efficient system of trams, buses, and suburban trains that are well-maintained and reliable. They're often monitored by security and policing isn't uncommon, providing passengers added reassurance. However, it's always recommended to stay alert, especially while traveling alone during late hours. As with any city, be aware of your surroundings, avoid deserted paths and don't leave your belongings unattended.

Street harassment: Low

In Düsseldorf, the level of street harassment is relatively low compared to many other large cities around the world. German people, in general, tend to respect individual space and privacy. However, like in any urban environment, it's always essential to stay alert and remain aware of your surroundings at all times. It's also recommended to avoid certain less traveled areas or parks during the night.

Petty crimes:Low

Düsseldorf is generally considered a safe city with a low crime rate. However, like any other major city, it is not entirely free of petty crime. Instances of pickpocketing, bag snatching or phone theft may occasionally occur, particularly in crowded areas or public transport. It is advised to keep an eye on your belongings and avoid displaying expensive items openly. Nighttime is relatively secure but still requires routine caution. Regardless, the city's robust security and surveillance systems work effectively to maintain public safety.

Tap water:Very safe

You can safely drink tap water in Düsseldorf. It's not only of high quality, but it also meets or exceeds all the German and European Union health and safety standards. Many people even prefer it over bottled water due to its freshness and taste.

Solo travel experience

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'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.

About me

Hello, I'm Coco I am originally from Lebanon but raised in Germany. At the moment I am travelling around India and words cannot fully capture the richness of impressions that I'm allowed to experience therewhile. On a personal level, I have interest in yoga, meditation, cooking and healthy eating, as well as a passion for music and poetry. I enjoy socialising and exchanging thoughts about culture, faith and personal growth. I look forward to embarking on a new journey that will no doubt widen my horizon and add a new perspective, and thus allow me to uncover new things about the world and about myself. Above all, I look forward to embracing all that life can bring along the way, and to creating new friendships and meaningful connections. Hope to see you soon. best wishes, Coco
