The downtown area of Sherbrooke has something really special: a lot of buildings have big murals…read morepainted on them that give the optical illusion of windows, doors, and people being there.
I loved walking around for a couple hours and discovering the murals. It was one of my favorite parts of my visit to Sherbrooke!
I applaud free public art. You can get a paper map from the tourist center that has the murals marked. Additionally, "Murals of Sherbrooke, the self-guided Tour", is available on the free app BaladoDiscovery.
The suggested starting point is the corner of Wellington and Frontenac Streets. (I started in the middle though).
It's about 3 miles to walk the whole tour.
Just as a side note, I walked alone and felt safe, although I was approached by a few times by non-threatening panhandlers and passed several people sleeping on the street.
