Always check your device’s power label before traveling. If it says “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device can handle different voltages worldwide without needing a converter. This applies to most laptops, tablets, cameras, phones, and rechargeable personal care devices.

More About Quebec City
Quebec City feels like stepping into Europe—it’s got those cobblestone streets, ramparts, and mustard-yellow houses climbing a hill above the St. Lawrence River. It’s the only fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still stand. Fun trivia: locals often call it “la Vieille Capitale” (the Old Capital), and if you spot people skiing on a city street, don’t freak—there’s a hotel with a rooftop ski slope called Hotel de Glace in winter. (Okay, technically it’s outside the city, but close enough to feel magical.)
Quebec City uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Canada.
