Winnipeg is not really safe especially in downtown and northern areas. You need to be careful and try not to have any contact with aggressive people. If you want to be outside at evening or night it’s better not be alone
Posted: June 10, 2025The whole city is just fine other than two areas. Avoid going into the north end. Downtown is also somewhere to avoid at night and alone. Other areas are completely safe and nothing to worry about<<3.

Winnipeg is safe for the most part. But we avoid the downtown area at night. Crime rates are high but I personally have not seen anything brutal or intense. The residential areas are safe, but I wouldn’t go walking at night

It’s safe depending on where and when you are. Some areas are less safe than others. I think it’s probably just as safe as some other North American major cities. I’ve lived here all my life and have barely had any problems with safety.
Posted: December 24, 2024Winnipeg, like most places, is safe if you are in well lit areas and keep your wits about you (not being drunk solo, not being in areas you're unfamiliar with). If you are just stopping in for a visit I'd suggest checking out the Corydon area.
Posted: October 4, 2024Not so safe if you find yourself in very sketchy areas. One can still go out at night but just be very vigilant. I would say it could be a hit or a miss depending on the part of city you go to and ofcourse time of day.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience . I feel safe in Winnipeg. The people there are friendly. Things are cheaper comparing with other cities in Canada. I met a lot of friends during my working holiday.

Winnipeg is a safe town full of wonderful people. I felt safe here and I recommend a solo travel here. People are wonderful and happy to help out foreigners. I’d love to come back cause I made some friends over here. If you walk alone no one will bother you which is great!
