Question 3

Is Regina safe to visit?

Accepted Answer

Regina is safe for tourists in central areas and tourist attraction zones, but has a higher crime rate than the Canadian national average, with a Crime Severity Index of 116.8, among the highest of major Canadian cities. However, crime affecting tourists is rare: most security issues are concentrated in the North Central and Heritage/Chinatown neighbourhoods, which hold no tourist interest and should be avoided, especially at night. The city centre, Wascana Centre (the largest urban park per capita in Canada), the commercial area, and the southern and eastern districts are safe and busy. Do not leave valuables visible in parked cars, be alert to pickpockets on public transport, and opt for a taxi or Uber at night. Winters in Regina are severe, with temperatures that can drop below -30°C: dress accordingly. Book your ticket and discover the authentic capital of Saskatchewan.
