The Best Time To Visit Québec City:
December – February is the best time to visit Québec City because the picture-perfect Old Québec looks like it belongs in a snow globe! The entire city will be decorated for the holidays. In December, there’s a Christmas market, you can celebrate Carnival in January and February, and the city will be covered in snow. It will be cold (you’ll be lucky if the temperature reaches 20°F), and this is a popular travel season, so book your accommodation and tours in advance to save some money and ensure availability.
Spring is one of the off-seasons. March – May are the rainiest months of the year, and temperatures will only get into the 60s by May. The main reasons to come during these months are scoring some great accommodation deals and maple harvesting. Many many cabanes à sucre (maple sugar shacks) will let you watch or participate in making maple syrup.
Summer is Québec City’s peak travel season when the temperatures and prices will be at their highest. From June to August, you’ll have sunny days with highs in the 70s (perfect for al fresco dining). These months are packed with festivals, holidays, and tourists, so book tours and accommodation at least a few months in advance.
September – November is the other shoulder season. Crowds and prices will be at their lowest all year, and the weather will still be relatively pleasant, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. The fall foliage is beautiful during these months, so spend as much time outside as possible.

Is Quebec City friendly?
Everyone I met and interacted with in Québec City was very friendly and hospitable. I recommend making an effort to use French greetings – this goes a long way with locals.
