I was traveling with a group and still got approached by people with questionable intents, some beggars who were rude as well, so I wouldn’t say it’s entirely safe for solo traveling. Only in certain areas though, like alleys and I experienced it along Chinatown. During the day, much better, so many lively people. They still wanted to speak English so that was a relief. Did not get to interact much with the locals, unfortunately. I loved visiting Old Montreal, touristy but worth it. I had the best noodles with the biggest bowl ever, I forgot the name but definitely check that out. Poutine was bomb. Worth to visit if you are visiting Canada and are not too far away from Montreal.

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!

Montreal is a really safe city, no pickpockets , never had any bad experience in public or using public transport. It is also very easy to find your way and people are always there to help, I recommend visiting:)

Hi, I'm Noëlle, a queer French journalist in her 25s 🏳️🌈. I live in Lille since June 2024, but I used to study there for 5 years. So this beautiful and authentic city has no secrets for me ! As we say in France, the Nord is a warm and sweet place with really generous people, despite the bad weather that usually occurs. So it would be a pleasure to make you discover this place and where I come from :) If you want to prepare some chating subjects : I love animated movies, indie pop and rock music or electro, I draw a lot and love to cook meals from around the world. If you have a new recipe to share, I'm in ! 🌷
