Düsseldorf offers a sweet spot between big-city life and small-town charm. You get all the perks (great nightlife, cultural events, cafés, green parks, and easy transport) without the overwhelming sprawl of cities like Berlin or Munich.
Rent for students typically ranges between €450 and €750 per month, depending on whether you choose a student residence, shared flat (WG), or private apartment. Neighbourhoods like Pempelfort, Bilk, and Flingern are student favourites, known for their lively atmosphere and proximity to campuses.
The city also has a rich food scene: you’ll find everything from German classics like Altbier and Flammkuchen to amazing Japanese ramen and sushi in the famous Little Tokyo district, one of the largest Japanese communities in Europe.
