Safety:Very safe

Canada generally has a high level of safety for solo female travelers. Its towns and cities are generally secure, and residents are often friendly and helpful. The crime rate is relatively low compared to other countries. Do note that, like anywhere, it's important to stay vigilant, avoid secluded places at night, and keep a close watch on your belongings.

Transport:Easy

Canada boasts of a comprehensive and reliable public transportation network, including buses, trains, and ferries, spanning across the country's vast expanse. Major cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal have subway systems, making urban navigation quite easy. Biking is also gaining popularity in many Canadian cities. However, since Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area, reaching some remote areas can be challenging without personal transportation.

Things to do:Interesting

Canada is vast and diverse, full of natural wonders and contrasting landscapes. From awe-inspiring mountains in British Columbia, serene lakes in Ontario, to vibrant multicultural cities such as Toronto and Montreal, there's something for every type of solo female traveler. Whether you love outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, or skiing, or you’re more into exploring urban architecture, art galleries, and delicious food scenes, Canada will not disappoint you. However, it got a 4 due to great distances between destinations that may make travel lengthy and more challenging.

Food:Above average

Canada offers a truly diverse culinary experience due to its multicultural society. It is highly regarded for its seafood, particularly salmon, on the west coast and its poutine in Quebec. You can expect a range of cuisines from all over the world, including Italian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Indigenous foods. Their sweetness comes from treats like butter tarts and Nanaimo bars. While it may not be seen as a gastronomic destination compared to some European countries, the quality and variety of the food is outstanding.

Budget:Moderate

Canada's total cost depends on where you go and what you do. Big cities like Toronto and Vancouver can be quite expensive, particularly for lodging, while small towns and rural areas will be cheaper. Food and attractions can also range from budget-friendly to high-end. Public transportation is efficient and reduces the costs if traveling within or close to cities, making it a mid-range choice for budget travelers.

Solo travel experience

It was wonderful to see the rocky mountains and fly over them by helicopter. I had some hard times while that, because someone important died while i was on holiday there. But the nature in Canada heald my soul a little bit.
