Is Ottawa safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I feel safe here Fun to visit the parliament and all the museums Public transportation takes you everywhere and is reliable Food is good and service is excellent The tap water is really good no aftertaste

Very chill city, people are calm and nice, there are homeless people around certain pockets but they usually mind their own business, just have to get used to seeing them on the streets and don’t actively interact with them

Ottawa is still relatively safe, but in recent years there’s been an increase in homelessness, especially downtown. Most areas are fine for walking during the day, but at night it’s better to stay in well-lit, busier streets and be aware of your surroundings

In general it is a very safe city especially compared to other places. There are of course certain areas that I wouldn't recommend after dark but if you are in a group or out during the day, it is a very safe place to travel.

I live in the downtown area on the more sketchy side. Walking at night you should be vigilant as always but I never feel threatened. I have had men approach me to hit on me but it’s never been menacing or anything I haven’t encountered in other cities.

Ottawa is a fair safe location! There’s more homeless people in the past years but nothing to be concerned about more then the normal pro cautions. I walk home tipsy with little worries :) it’s a great city with others to do!
