Quebec is safe in General but I lived here for all my life and in the past felt confortable walking alone at night but not anymore. (maybe because I grew up and im more aware of danger) I would also say it really depends of the area youre in. Would not feel extra safe walking alone at night in St-Foy, Limoilou, St-Rock and also old quebec.
Posted: April 5, 2025Quebec city is a really safe city, you can walk around alone without worry. It’s not much of a night life city so there aren’t that many people around at night. In any case I recommend to be careful when you are alone at night.
Posted: February 2, 2025Quebec city is a great place to grow a family. People are kind and generally open minded. There is danger everywhere in the world, so things happen like in every other cities, but I do not feel worried at all walking in the streets alone as a women, even during night time.

Quebec is a really calm city. There is no trouble going out (appart the cold). In the night there is absolutely no one in the streets, but if there is they will go really quickly to not bother you. There is nothing to be afraid of. If you have a problem, a lot of Quebec citizens are reaaly friendly and they will help you
Posted: January 10, 2025Québec City is a really safe place. Can be a little bit scary for woman from 1to3am if you are walking in busy street or close to bars. Otherwise, I would say that I feel pretty safe everywhere at anytime
Posted: December 30, 2024It is a really safe city, I have been living here for several years and I can confirm that, as a women, it is a really safe place to be. There is little to no harassment on the street. People are really friendly.

Of course the experience is not the same for all, but personally I always feel same in Quebec City. The only thing that could scared you is homeless people, but their are for the large majority very nice and event good people to have a little chat with (some can be a little bit racist… be careful). Sometimes intoxicated people can be agressive but there is always somebody close who you can ask for help. If you don’t want to pass by to many homeless people avoid : 1030 Rue des Prairies and 33 rue d’Auteuil. (I always walk in front of those homeless people’s shelter and nothing never happened to me.) Aside of that, stay carful in bar, there are some GHB intoxication.

Quebec city is full of people working for the government. This is quiet people such stay home on the evening. It makes the city very safe to travel to. For a population of 575 400 people, Quebec city has a total of 60 violent crimes committed over the last year and most of them had been committed by new comers against their family members. You can really feel safe to go everywhere and there's always someone to help you with anything.
Posted: November 9, 2024I feel safe to walk at night, but you gotta know where to be or not be as there are creepy places. I try to not use small alleys, but main streets generally makes me safe! Never experienced harassment.
Posted: September 9, 2024Quebec City is very safe. However, there has been a rise in drug use, homelessness, and mental health issues, particularly in the downtown area. This said, I live downtown and have never felt unsafe.

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 amazing. I did a cruise until Orleans island and waterfalls of Montmorency. It was beautiful. Good restaurants seem to be a bit expensives but I ate well!

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.
