Walking 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!
Posted: January 29, 2025Calgary is a safe city, easy to go around doesn't matter the time of the day. We do have homeless people in the downtown area, however not close to my home. Humans tend to be quite respectful, polite and mindful of people's boundaries.

Calgary is a beautiful city, like most, you stay away from the seedy areas. There's a big river, lots of pubs and restaurants and big parks. Summer is my preference here as you can enjoy the outdoors like floating down the river, easy access to the mountains for white water rafting, hiking, rock climbing mountain biking etc.
Posted: December 28, 2024Calgary in general is a very safe area for tourists and local! However, there are certain places you might wanna avoid like downtown and north east regions near hospitals and shelters. Transit is fairly safe too!
