Crime & Women's Safety in Toronto

Very safe if you are careful! Try not to do out at night alone, and keep your doors locked. Be mindful of the area and most of all just try not to talk to anyone who is harassing you. A good death stare or completely ignoring them completely usually does the trick.

In recent years there’s been a definite uptick in violence when taking public transport, with some cases being definite cause for concern. Street level violence like mugging or robbery isn’t generally something I worry about otherwise.

Toronto is a generally safe space, but there are bits here and there that are more dangerous. As long as you are where people are, you are safe. Where I go out in downtown, I don’t really worry about theft or sexual harassment/assault. I tend to stay away from drunk men anyway

Lived in Toronto for 35 years never had any problems Very safe place, there is crime everywhere in the world regardless where you are Of course are issues in Toronto, many times wrong place at the wrong time

Like with most large cities, it depends on the neighbourhood. Overall, keep your wits about you if it's late/dark. I walk to work every day at 4:30 AM and have never had any trouble in the downtown core. But some areas are known to be less safe than others. Stay alert, cross the street when necessary, you should be good!

I lived in Toronto for 4 years. Depending on which neighborhood is fairly safe but public transport is really bad for a big city. Lots events especially outdoors when the weather is nice. If you like live music you'll have a great time.

The unaddressed mental illness, drug and homeless situation is out of control with no action taken from law enforcement when women are randomly attacked, which has become a regular occurrence. I wouldn't walk around at knight without my dog.

Toronto use to be safe but lately there is something going on every day. Downtown is safe to venture off alone but you also have to be careful of your surroundings because there are a lot of crazy people on the streets. They are mostly harmless but you never know. I’ve also seen people fight on the subway, so I wouldn’t sit in the subway unless it’s a seat that allows your back to be against the subway cart so you can see everything. As long as you use your common sense and are aware of your surroundings you can enjoy Toronto and have a good time.

Toronto has become a lot worse in recent years but I still feel a sense of safety at night even as a solo woman. There are areas to avoid for sure but most parts are safe. As long as you don’t call extreme attention to yourself and follow normal safety protocols you will be 100% fine.

Very safe but I would always be aware of my surroundings especially at night.... Harassment can occur in all countries so just always be alert if you are alone. You have the freedom to dress as you like.

Solo travel experience

Toronto is the perfect city for travelling. I recommend stay near Harbour bay, there’re lots of Airbnb style hotel with good price. The food on Dundas street is incredible, and I really really like Hot hot rice noodle - the Crispy Pork rice noodle is amazing. Speaking of food, you can’t miss traditional Canadian food called poutine! And also I love Ice Wine sooooo much! Toronto is also a safe city, although you need be careful when you travel at late night in downtown. Otherwise it’s fine. I like Casa Roma, worthy of one-day visiting. CN tower is nice to visit, although I didn’t go to the very top of it (I remember it has different price for different level). I like Harbour bay too.

Solo travel experience

Very safe city. Though I find the best tome to travel to Toronto is during summer bc winter can be a bit harsh. The food is generally great and you can find restaurants that focus on different cultures!

Solo travel experience

Love how the city is so diversed and so much fun things to do all year long. I would recommend going to the beach off from the queens way. Little china is an amazing place to check out to if you like buying little things from your travels. The night life there is amazing almost anywhere you go there will be happy faces to welcome you.

I love Toronto so much. People is so kind. I enjoyed lot. I learn multi culture. It is very good experience for me. In there I enjoyed food from all over the world as well. I could meet people from many country as well. In the summer there was lot of events and festival. In the winter I enjoyed winter sports I will back there for sure.
