Downtown Toronto is pretty safe, except because sometimes could be a lot of crazy people out there. But in general, been on the street after hours, use the transport system is safe. The clue is, if you don't bother anyone, no one will bother you
Posted: August 12, 2025I recommend activities during the day times. Quite a few scary people on certain streets and transit. Areas to stay away from include moss park. But parks are quite safe and well lit. I’d suggest walking over talking transit when you can
Posted: August 1, 2025Very safe especially for solo female travellers. I often make my way home at night alone and go for walks in the dark. You may encounter some homeless but violent crime is of very little concern. I would recommend this as a destination.

Posted: July 23, 2025Toronto is the kind of place you can walk around at 4 am by yourself in heels and the most that will happen is you’ll see a crackhead screaming incoherently in a parking lot across the street from you

Toronto has improved tremendously over the last years! The food scene and club scene have both expended with nice, trendy and upscale spots to rediscover. As for safety, there is an homeless situation going on downtown, so I would just avoid that area after dark. Otherwise? Completely safe. As for budget, there is something for every price point - you just gotta research a bit of everything online and be willing to explore according to what you’re looking for. Great city for a quick weekend reset, with a good balance of things to do. The aquarium is a must.
