Edmonton is a nice city. It has the river valley, which is by far my favourite aspect of Edmonton. It also has West Edmonton Mall, which is a man awesome experience when visiting as a tourist. It has a waterpark, amusement park, ice rink, arcade, movie theatre, marine centre, go-carts, bowling, casino, hotel, etc. The biggest issue with Edmonton currently is the crime, especially on public transport. During busy hours you should be fine, but drug use and homelessness is a huge problem at ETS stations, LRT train cars, and around most malls in the city.

Edmonton is like any big city, be smart and aware. Homeless population can be a bit of a problem but if you don’t interact with them ur usually safe. Going out at night is pretty safe of course be smart and watch ur drink.

The only time I have experienced a bad situation with men was when I used dating apps. Otherwise I feel very safe in public and even crowds.
