Frequently Asked Questions
How can I spend 3 days in Quebec City?
The Best Things To Do in Québec City:
Winter Activities: ride the Québec City toboggan slide, go dog sledding, visit the Hôtel de Glace, go snow tubing at Village Vacances Valcartier, visit the Christmas market, go snowmobiling, celebrate Carnival.
Year-Round Activities: guided walking tour of Old Québec, food and cocktail tour, ride the ferry across the St. Lawrence River, ride the Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec, shop at the Quartier Petit Champlain, walk along the Terrasse Dufferin, tour the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac.
How many days do you need for Quebec City?
In the spring, summer, and fall, I’d spend three to four days in Québec City. In the winter, I’d spend 5-6 days because of all the snow activities you can do.
Suggested Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive as early as possible and check into your hotel. Do a guided walking tour of Old Québec in the afternoon or early evening. Then ride the Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec, shop at the Quartier Petit Champlain, and if it’s winter, ride the Québec City toboggan slide.
Day 2: Take a day trip. If it’s winter, go snow tubing, ice skating, and visit the Hôtel de Glace (ice hotel) at the Village Vacances Valcartier. If it’s spring, summer, or fall, go hiking in Jacques-Cartier National Park.
Day 3: Start your day by touring the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and riding the ferry across the St. Lawrence River. In the afternoon and evening, do a food and cocktail tour. Then walk along the Terrasse Dufferin at night.
Day 4: Check out of your hotel and head home or to your next destination.
Is Quebec City Expensive?
Québec City is a relatively expensive destination to visit, but you can save some money by visiting in the shoulder seasons and on weekdays, preparing your own meals, and doing free activities.
Is Quebec City worth visiting?
Yes, this is one of the best places to visit in Canada! Québec City’s French roots, castle-like architecture, and historical buildings make you feel like you’re in Europe instead of Canada.
Fun Fact: Québec City is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it’s the only walled city north of Mexico.
How many days do you need in Montreal and Quebec City?
I recommend spending at least three to four days in each city.
What is the best time to go to 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 it better to stay in Montreal or Quebec City?
Montreal and Québec City are both incredible destinations, and they will each give you very different experiences. So I highly recommend visiting both of these cities!
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.
