Ottawa is a nice city but at night I felt in some danger as there were a lot of drug addicts which is such a shame because it is a pretty city. Downtown at night we were approached by a group of junkies which made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Would not recommend solo female travellers to go unless they are trained.

Hello Linda,
The Shaw Centre is located in suburbia heaven.
The only thing to fear is boredom.

Does anyone have any suggestions or input? Some friends and I will be staying in Ottawa in June. We need to be near the Shaw Center but want to be sure that we are in a safe area. We prefer to stay at an airbnb. Do you feel that this section of the city is safe for three women who are traveling together and are not familiar with the area?
