How safe is Guelph?

Very safe. I've never been concerned about walking alone anywhere. The streets are well lit and the town is pretty active given it's a university city. The transit is very easy to navigate and bus drivers are helpful.

A safe city with friendly people. Streets are mostly well lit and have accurate signs. I would definitely recommend Guelph as a safe choice for solo female travellers. I have never had any issues here and only positive experiences

Guelph is tan by the Green Party. The community is a college town. They actively participate in programs like “take back the night”, people feel safe here. Good community, safe neighbourhood. Low crime.
