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…

Montreal is really safe. I walk at night without any fear. The worst crime for tourists right now is car theft. People are friendly in general. Do not hesitate to visit as a solo female traveler, you will not be disappointed.
Posted: November 3, 2025I feel very secure in Montreal. Of course, it depends on the neighborhood and the time of day. I’ve never had any problems. Usually quebecers are very nice, welcoming and helpful if you ask them for an advice or an information.
Posted: October 30, 2025Definitely safe for solo traveling women. Never been scared to use public transportation late at night or to walk back home. There are specific downtown spots where homeless/addict people hangout, i would not go there in the middle of the night on purpose, but otherwise, very very safe city with welcoming people.

I split my time between Montreal, Singapore and USA. Loves ice cream, theater, arts, live sports games, music festivals, concerts and travel. I split my time between Singapore and Montreal, Canada. The winter in Montreal is a little too much for me to handle. Haha. Always looking forward to meeting like-minded travellers.
