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.

Honestly Montreal is pretty safe. There’s a few neighborhoods that are experiencing increased crime rates post Covid, but those are not usually the areas that would be visited by tourists so I’m not sure that it applies.
Posted: February 13, 2025The best city to go a safe trip! You can work at any hour of any day or night! Strangers are always here to help if something happens , and they are also kind! People really respect you and care for everyone well being

Hi! My name is Stéphanie and I'm a 22 years old international student from France, living in Montréal, Canada. I've been travelling with my family for my whole life, and I discovered solo travelling 2 years ago when I went in Australia for work. I've been living in Canada by myself for a year and a half now and got to visit so many new places on my own. I'm looking to connect with new people and get some tips for my next trips 🫶🏻
