I would describe Calgary as a safe place to travel. The only thing I have to say is that there are often drug addicts on the train or near the train station. They can make you feel uncomfortable, especially if they try talking to you, but they usually don't do anything. Sometimes I just change the train cars.
Posted: October 7, 2025Calgary is safe. There is homeless people but they don’t bother you, just continue on. Quite safe to walk around at night. Crime rates are low and unless approached it’s very safe. Lots of safety call buttons around downtown. If you venture outside of main downtown it’s very safe.
Posted: October 1, 2025Walking around as a solo female after dark is fine. There are certain areas it’s not recommended but overall it is safe. Definitely safe solo female travellers and super fun especially in the mountains!
Posted: May 2, 2025I would safe it’s a small city..a million people and I walk everywhere. It’s a fairly small and friendly city. There are Ubers and Lyft as well and cheap. The downtown is small so easy to get around.
Posted: February 6, 2025There are so many safe spaces and neighborhoods in Calgary. Common sense and a good tour guide are all you need. I've been here for 30 years and have also lived in Vancouver and Toronto. Calgary is by far my fave city!

Hello:) I'm an easy going, openminded and cheerful girl originally from Hamburg, Germany, but living for 6 years near the Rocky mountains in Canada now. I love roaming through nature, socializing, and learning. Meeting friends, as well as making new friends, gives me lots of energy. I am new to this platform, however you can read my Couchsurfing references (my name there is Nadja-Lina).

Hi girls! I’m Marin - I was raised in the Canadian Rockies & foothills and I now spend my summers working in Banff National Park and my winters traveling the world! When I am between the two, I stay with my family in my hometown of Calgary. I’m a very social person at heart but can sometimes take a minute to get out of my shell. My favourite part of traveling is meeting new friends around the world, so I’m thrilled to be on this app! I am usually able to host in Calgary and am almost always free to meet up and do activities in Calgary or Canmore/Banff! I have more hobbies than I can count, ranging from making stained glass and embroidery art, to partying and playing video games. I also love to hike and be in nature! To be honest I’m perfectly happy to do almost anything & it’s very difficult for me to be bored. I’d love to meet you and make some fun memories together!! I am coming to Europe for the first time at the end of March! I’ll be there for 2-3 months with almost no plan aside from slowly making my way from west to east! If you’re around, send me a message :D
