Recommended Travel Adaptor for Quebec City
We’ve taken the time to research and test these adaptors ourselves, making sure safety, charging performance and quality all meet the mark.
No adaptor with you and already abroad? You’re not out of options — many airports and local shops sell them. Still, bringing your own is the simplest way to avoid paying over the odds or ending up with something that barely works.
Quebec City is sometimes paired with visits to the United States and The Bahamas. It’s a good idea to check plug details before you go — just to be safe.
Sockets in Quebec City
The plug types you’ll find in Quebec City are Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Quebec City for certain devices, as the mains supply there doesn’t match ours. In the UK we use 230 V, so the voltage isn’t the same.
Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
The right travel gear can save you money, stress, and time. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at check-in, a power bank keeps your phone ready for maps and tickets, and packing cubes make it easy to find what you need. We recommend them because they work.
