How safe is Calgary?
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!

Have always felt very safe here everywhere I’ve gone. I run lots throughout the city and even at night I haven’t been worried about others. There are some very safe neighbourhoods and as a young woman I’ve never had a bad experience here.
Posted: March 22, 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.

About Me
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
