Does the eSIM work at Québec City airport (YQB)?

Yes. Activate it before your flight and switch it on when you land at Jean Lesage (YQB). You'll connect to a Canadian network immediately, so you can arrange a taxi or bus into the old town with live directions in hand.

Is Old Quebec walkable with just my phone for maps?

Absolutely. The historic core is compact and pedestrian-friendly, so mapping on foot beats driving. Your eSIM keeps navigation, ferry times to Lévis and restaurant bookings at your fingertips as you wander Upper and Lower Town.

Good to know in Quebec City

French is the working language here far more than in Montreal, so a data connection for live translation makes menus, signs and small talk much easier — Old Quebec is compact and walkable, so lean on maps rather than driving.

Two simple ways to buy

Quebec City eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Quebec City eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Quebec City — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Quebec City eSIM: your local data guide.

Quebec City feels like a slice of Europe, with the walled Old Town, the Château Frontenac and the cobbled lanes of Petit-Champlain. Because this is North America's most French-speaking city, a Quebec City eSIM is genuinely handy — translate menus, map the ramparts, book the ferry to Lévis for the skyline view and check Montmorency Falls before you go.

One eSIM for Quebec City and all of Canada. It's the national Canada eSIM — from $5.32/day with unlimited data, working the same in Quebec City as it does the moment you leave it.

Getting around Quebec City on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Quebec City

Uber— Ride-hailing works across Québec City; drivers mainly speak French, and live tracking needs data.
Eva— Québec-founded cooperative ride-hailing app, a homegrown alternative to Uber; book and pay in-app.
RTC Nomade— Official Réseau de transport de la Capitale app for real-time bus times and routes.
Waze— Popular with Québec drivers for one-way old-town streets and live construction alerts.

How long to stay in Quebec City

Two to three days is typical for Québec City, covering Old Québec, the Château Frontenac, the ramparts, Montmorency Falls and the Petit-Champlain district.

How much data for Quebec City

A modest 1–3 GB suits most Québec City visits spent walking the old town on foot; step up to a balanced 3–5 GB if you'll map day trips or share lots of photos.

Coverage in Quebec City

Old Québec, the airport and the suburbs have strong 5G on Rogers, Bell and Telus; coverage stays dependable in town but can thin on Île d'Orléans and rural roads toward Charlevoix.
