Solo Female Travel in Canada

Canada, Family travel

i was there for a month, partially with family, partially with friends, and partially solo. i went to Banff with my family, hangout in Toronto with friends, and solo travelled in Montreal/Quebec. it was a great balance of nature and city fun

Banff National Park, Solo travel

I had a great time at Banff. I booked two seperate day tours online to pick me up in Calgary and take me on a tour of Banff. This allowed me to save money on accommodation closer to the park and get to see Lake Moraine. Moraine lake can only be seen if you are part of a tour group from what we were told. I had a great time and got to see a lot of the park through the two separate tours.

Wetaskiwin, Couple travel

We stayed at a cute cabin on a farm and it was so relaxing and the exact chill weekend we needed out of the city. Very queer friendly area as well, I find these little towns they don’t ask lots of questions you can just exist!

Canada, Family travel

Been to Canada this summer with my daughter It was her first time in North America, we liked everything there!!! The parks were amazing, the flowers all over the place The stores wrer wow too I liked the old cities too and the falls of course!

Whistler, Group travel

My trip to whistler was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation with stunning mountain views and existing skiing. A peaceful hike through the forest was the highlight connecting me deeply with the nature

Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Solo travel

The Holy Peace! A haven of tranquility and gentleness to relearn how to take your time. Over 200 km of beach with warm water and stunning landscapes will surely enchant you. Plan your trips and accommodation!

Halifax, Family travel

I took a tall ship cruise around Halifax bay with my family, it was extremely enjoyable and I highly recommend it. Afterwards we went for a very nice meal at Baton rouge restaurant, a bit expensive but Canada is quite expensive.

Richmond, Solo travel

I feel very safe here. Food here is overall very nice. We usually have a variety of choices for food of different cuisines. If you have a low budget, you can also find decent living and food here. Richmond is a little cheaper than Vancouver. if you don’t right, traveling in Richmond could be amazing

Winnipeg, Solo travel

Overall, it was a wonderful experience . I feel safe in Winnipeg. The people there are friendly. Things are cheaper comparing with other cities in Canada. I met a lot of friends during my working holiday.

Whistler, Family travel

The very first time I went to Whistler, I didn't get why travellers would come all the way here just to go shopping (as Whistler Village was full of outdoor gear shops). Then last year my extended family took a trip up the gondola to the top of the mountains and I understood why people love Whistler! The views were incredible! In the summer you could ride the ski lifts up to get even higher views and hike around the tops of the mountains. It feels like you are on top of the world. My relatives from our of town wanted to go to Whistler from Vancouver for just the day, and at first my immediate family thought they were crazy to go all that way for just one day, but surprisingly it worked out and we had enough time. Here is a break down of the costs: There is actually a shuttle bus that goes from downtown Vancouver to Whistler. It costs $40 roundtrip. The seats were very comfortable and there was air conditioning, and this is a good option if you don't want to rent a car. The views on the sea to sky highway were beautiful! The bus stopped in Squamish very briefly so we could use the bathroom at a gas station. I think you have to book this ahead on the Internet. Then it drove on to Whistler Village. Whistler Village is extremely walkable so you don't a car there if you are just going up the gondola because you can easily walk to the gondola place. The gondola ride was expensive: it was $100 Canadian dollars per person! If you are traveling with your whole family this might add up a lot, but if you are here once in your life I think it is worth the splurge because I went up the Gondola near Squamish and the views in Whistler was so much more majestic. I also have some recommendations on affordable -ish (in comparison to the rest of Whistler Village) places to eat in Whistler Village, but I can't remember the names right now so I will write it in the comments

Vancouver

Vancouver is overall a pretty safe city. Exercise caution around the Downtown Eastside neighborhood as there are many homeless and people with addictions and mental illness who may act erratically, but violent incidents are rare.

Mount Pleasant

Vancouver is incredibly safe as a solo woman I have never felt scared or worried. The downtown east side and Chinatown has a lot of homelessness but it is not violent. There is the occasional crime but mostly it’s bike theft. Kitsilano is super safe, as is mount pleasant. I’d stay away from main and Hastings area (and 5 blocks either direction) as that is where the main hub for homelessness is.

It is safe for women. Alot of solo travelers come to Banff. It has many bus services running as well which makes it convenient for traveling especially from calgary. ait gets crowdy so better go early in the morning.

Good city to explore. Lots of art, festivals, zoo etc. Different areas and angles of the city to see. Winnipeg is relatively safe if you don’t visit the shady quiet and super dark areas. Beautiful in the summer and very cold in the Winter.

Hamilton is pretty safe for women overall so long that you don’t travel alone at night in some of the sketchier areas (mainly downtown). I come from a small town so it was an adjustment, but overall so long that you don’t bother people they also won’t bother you.

Ottawa is Canada’s capital city. It has a lot of museums, art galleries and government buildings for exploring. There are lots of outdoor activities and hiking spots in and around the city. It is relatively close to Toronto and Montreal. It is safe for women and I would recommend spending 3-5 days in the city to fully explore.

Highly recommend the International Abbotsford Airshow that happens every summer. It's safe, fun and a great experience. It does get extremely hot, so I recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and a portable fan.

Quebec City is a safe place to travel and is a great city for solo female travelers. There are plenty of things to see and do, people are friendly and welcoming. Old Quebec is very walkable so you can lace up your comfy shoes and explore most of the historic sights on doit. I love close to good public transportation system if you want to venture further afield. Quebec oficial language is French, but most people on the tourist industry will speak English as well. Quebec City is a beautiful city with a lot to offer visitors: many free shows, very good table not expensive, easy going people eager to help tourists.

Montreal is a safe place to visit for everyone A lot of place to stay and public transportation is the best way to go around town There is a lot of tourist attractions you can visit in a walking distance and there is also food and music festivals during summer.

Avoid Rideau street at night and dundonald park on Somerset Other than that, it’s pretty safe here. I would recommend pizza nerds or thali it’s a bit expensive but worth it :) Also there are some really nice hikes in Gatineau park

Saint John is a beautiful city! One of the oldest in Canada there is a rich history. Locals are warm and welcoming, lots of good restaurants definitely visit Picaroons if you want to meet some locals. I’ve always felt safe, every once in a while you encounter some characters but I’ve never felt genuinely threatened. Just be aware of your surroundings but there’s not a lot of crime at all

Toronto - generally safe for women Summers are great here! Go to Toronto Islands, brunch at Light cafe, gelato at Mizzica, pizza at Badiali, egyptian food at mahas! These are gems in the city. Travel to Bruce Peninsula park- worth the drive Niagara- over rated!
