Is Toronto safe for solo female travelers?

Family travel

Toronto is such a beautiful city with an amazing atmosphere! I stayed with family in Rosedale during July and the weather was incredible. I never once felt unsafe during my visit, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming!

Solo travel

Modern and clean city with plenty to do during the Summer. Lots of events, concerts, festivals going on for the whole period. Large cosmopolitan city so it's easy to meet people or travel buddies, if you're open to it. Had the most wonderful meal at Alo Bar. Love the amount of ice cream shops too.

Group travel

I have traveled to Toronto 3 times recently, solo and with a friend. Most recently was for Caribana, celebrating Caribbean culture. There were many events taking place. Though I am not Caribbean, it was open to everyone. Driving in city wasn't too bad, though I am not used to street cars or light rails. Felt very safe and very diverse. Food was good. Didn't have too much Canadian only food but the Beaver Tails. Night life was great!

Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

Hotels and airbnb can be quite expensive. Groceries aren’t cheap either but going out to eat is reasonably priced. Lots of homeless people!! They seem to mostly mind their own business but it felt pretty unsafe. Some parks are completely taken over by homeless camps. They also can come up to you to ask for money or food. Sometimes I buy them something, adding more to the travel costs. Avoid routes coming past homeless shelters to avoid seeing them. Little Italy is a nice place to stay. Kensington Market is cute to visit for cafes, thrift shopping and music.

Certain areas can be unsafe. Try to steer clear east of Jarvis st. Also avoid trillium park area, has lots of encampments. Touristy areas are generally pretty safe. The TTC Yonge line is safe to use during evenings.

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

Very 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.

Toronto 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
