Are there any areas to avoid?

Stay away from parts of the area bordered by Jarvis, Wellesley, Queen and the Don Valley. During the day, you’re pretty much safe anywhere but these are the areas to avoid when dark.

Areas that have relatively higher rates of crime, some of which are in the old town as follows: Southwest Parkdale, Greenwood/Gerrard/railway, Steeles/Jane/Finch/Gosford, Overlea Blvd/Thorncliffe Park, Queen/Dundas/Spadina/Bathurst
