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 :)

I 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 ✨

Düsseldorf is a really safe place. Some places around the main station are a bit sketchy at night - but I guess every main station has an area like that. But it's not that bad and it doesn't have a criminal background
Posted: December 26, 2025Overall 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

About me
Hey there! I am Jace,23, and I am studying in Düsseldorf. I do have a sleep couch, where I can host people for short stays, preferably over the weekend. The couch is in my living room so you kinda would have your own room. I only have one key though so you would have to talk your plans through with me so I can let you in whenever you get back

About me
I suppose I am not typical German 🥰 as I love to flow, decide out of the moment and not plan everything. I’ve been traveling solo for many years. I’ve had great experiences with Travel Ladies and Trusted Houses, including house and pet sitting. I’m reliable, very clean, and I always make sure to leave places the way I would like to find them myself. Good communication skills are important to me. I’m easy to connect with, while at the same time I need moments of quiet and retreat when traveling to process and let impressions settle. I speak English fluently and Spanish at a solid level, as connecting with local people and culture matters more to me than tourist hotspots. I’m an optimist who believes in the goodness of people and the world. With an open heart, I always try to find joy and positivity in every situation, especially when challenges arise. I love hiking, time in nature, sleeping under the stars. I also love to jog, swim, meditation, yoga and dance. I prefer concious and healthy food and like to cook.
