Of course it can be dangerous in bars, there’s always malicious person, but I walked a thousand times alone, at 3am, summer and winter and I’ve never been arrassed or wte. Of course I’m scared because ✨I’m a girl✨, but nothing never happened to me.

Quebec is safe for women Even in the streets. Watch your drinks if you go out at Le Dagobert because there is a lot of women getting roofied and the owner doesnt care and just say to his employers that police cant prove its coming from there. But this bar is for really Young people and there are a lot of minors.

Québec is very safe, as a woman who used to live in Paris, I can clearly see the difference. I feel safe walking in the streets whether it is by day or by night. You can do activities all by yourself and you’ll still feel very safe.

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.

Quebec 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.

Is Quebec City worth visiting?

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!
