Québec was very nice little city ! I felt very safe and people were very kind. Accommodation : I stayed at youth hotel Qbeds. Which was good for a first time because you have curtains around your bed and the atmosphere is very cool. If you like silence maybe it is not the best place to sleep on the Friday and Saturday cause there will be parties. Visits: I booked a ticket to have a guided visit of Frontenac castle follow by a brunch to the castle restaurant. By the way the brunch is...

I felt extremely safe. The areas are generally crowded but it’s filled with people having a good time. The food is absolutely amazing. There’s a lot of culture, I recommend the castle tour. Try any restaurant that serves game (I.e. rabbit, venison etc) I drove but it was easy getting by just walking. Parking is safe. Things are a bit more expensive. I didn’t stay in Quebec City but about 30 minutes away.

Québec is a very safe place during the day and at night! You have to be a little more mindful downtown during the night, but like everywhere! Most people are very nice and respectful, prices are written out before buying.
Posted: July 26, 2026I feel extremely safe in Quebec, it is full of live but still calm and welcoming. I’m always comfortable walking alone, even at night, people are helpful and open minded. Some areas have more homeless people, but i’ve rarely had trouble with any of them. I would not say Quebec is an unsafe city

Québec City is very safe for women, even solo—low crime, little harassment, and easy to walk around, including at night. Just use normal precautions like anywhere, but overall it’s a really comfortable and friendly place to travel alone. It is considered one of the safest city in North America ;)
Posted: March 30, 2026I’ve never had any problems ever since I moved in Quebec City last year. It is a very safe environment for women :) You are never 100% safe from a catcall or something like that but you will never be in danger here

Welcoming or being hosted by a local person is a wonderful way to travel. As a women, I think that we enrich each other by opening the door to our homes. I am a feminist, open-minded and socially engaged women, who loves traveling around the world. Travelling is about connexion for me and I am always grateful to welcome travellers or being welcomed by a host. I live on the Orleans Island, Quebec. I have two wonderful kids that are now adults and who love to travel too.
