Hello!

My name is Pamela, and I’d like to welcome you to Urban Guide Québec – my love letter, of sorts to Québec! I’m an anglophone who fell in love with Québec City in 2013 and moved here permanently in 2016.

What will you find on this website? Things to see and experience in Québec, places to eat, Québec artisans and producers, hotel suggestions, and adventures I take in other parts of Canada as well.
