Is Montreal Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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…

I 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!

Overall 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 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.

I 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.

The place where I live is really safe , never had a problem with my neighbours, only families in my building so it’s kind of respectful place , Montrealers are very nice , they don’t judge they mind their own business . No worries about security

Downtown you will be catcalled and might be approached by men, who can sometimes be insistant But shut them up or ignore them and leave and Im usually alright I try to keep 1 earphone out at night when walking alone, especially downtown, which is less safe, and I try to keep an eye on my surroundings But during the day its pretty same tbh
