I absolutely loved my trip to Montreal. I felt very safe and appreciated how organized and walkable the city was. The bike lanes were fantastic, making it easy to explore sustainably. Montreal’s diverse attractions, beautiful architecture, and environmentally conscious vibe really resonated with me. Plus, the variety of restaurants offered such a rich cultural experience. It’s truly a stunning and inspiring city. Total cost is approximately $1,000.

I’m currently travelling in Montreal, I’m here for a month. I’m having a lot of fun here, it’s really nice and safe place, as a woman I feel very good with the city and walking by myself. The only bad point would be the prices that are very high unfortunately…
Posted: March 26, 2024I absolutely adore Montreal. I would recommend accommodation close to transit/train stations as their transit systems are really efficient. Things stay open late but on weekends expect them to wrap up around 3am. I wouldn’t recommend being out alone past that time. Even though it’s still fairly safe, there were still a few unsafe moments as a woman travelling alone. So stick to transit, don’t be out past 2-3am especially alone, and call an Uber if you must!
Posted: February 2, 2024Experienced: September, 2023Overall I thought my experience here was pretty good. I came with a mixed gender group of friends and we stayed at a airbnb for 4 nights. I think the average price for each person was just a bit over $100. The public transport is easy to understand even without understanding French, but our taxi/uber experiences were not very good. There’s many activities outside of the city that can be easily accessed by bus as well as a robust nightlife. Although the one day we went to a club, all the women in our group got groped by some sleezey old dudes (we’re all in university). Still, it was a really fun experience to have with friends!
Posted: January 28, 2024Montreal is a great place to visit! We went for a weekend last February and found lots of places to enjoy. I felt safe the whole time, would recommend the thrift stores and restaurants in China Town- specifically Chez Chilli.

Beautiful city with old world charm. Food scene is very good. Montreal also has a large musician and circus vibe. Lots of summer festivals. The old port and the Olympics Stadium and village is a must see.
Posted: August 25, 2023Experienced: May, 2023I was in Montreal alone and felt very safe. Public transportation is easy to navigate, and in the summer there are always a lot of festivals happening throughout the city, there's plenty to do.

Montreal is very safe in most part! Would recommend for solo female traveler and LGBTQ+. People are really kind and crime is low. Just be aware of your surroundings during night as everywhere else! Stay in touristy areas for even more safety precautions

Montréal is a safe city overall. There aren’t many violent crimes committed randomly in the streets. Even petty theft is not common. Sometimes women will get comments, but it has only happened to me twice in the 24 years I’ve lived here. Certain areas like Montreal Nord are a bit less inviting but not dangerous per see. You can wear what you want and have your phone out in public without any worry.

Hi there! I’m from Montreal, Canada and French is my first language. This May, I’m heading out on my very first solo adventure—3 months of exploring, wandering, and soaking it all in. I’m super excited and would love to connect with other solo female travelers—whether it’s grabbing a coffee, discovering a cool hidden spot in a city, or just chatting about travel and life!

Hi ladies, you can call me Tobs and I'm steadily building my wanderlust spirit. After calling Germany home for the past three years, I've developed a love for exploring Europe's diverse landscapes and cultures. I also look forward to exploring other continents ( spent over a month in Canada earlier this year and this was so much fun for me) From bustling cities to serene countryside, exploring ancient ruins to taking super cute pictures and videos in the streets,there's always something new to discover. I'm always on the hunt for the next unforgettable experience. I would love to meet up, explore and take pictures and make videos together. So whether it's joint trips or meeting fellow travelers, I am open minded and look forward to see where the road takes us next!
