Charming Things to Do in Quebec City in the Winter

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Cobblestone streets dusted with snow. A stunning haunted castle looming over an ancient city and an icy river. Sweet, sticky maple syrup rolled in cold snow. Here are some charming things to do in Quebec City in the winter!

Visit a Food Market

The food markets in Quebec City are chock full of locally produced products, including varieties of delicious maple things. We hear the full cans of Maple Syrup are the best quality, but the little glass maple leaf bottles are SO CUTE...

Holiday Cheer!

In the winter, Quebec City is decorated to the gills with pine trees, ribbons, lights, and bright red ornaments. Stroll through Old Quebec to soak in the holiday cheer!

Snowboarding, Skiing, or Snow-Shoeing

Mont-Saint-Anne is a ski resort located close to Quebec City! In addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can also go snow-shoeing and dogsledding, plus a bunch of other activities.

Ride a Toboggan

Au 1884 is one of the oldest attractions in town! Hop in a toboggan and relive your childhood, except WAY more epic.

Warm Up in a Museum

The Musee du Fort, located directly in front of the Chateau Frontenac, is a must-visit if you're interested in Quebec City's military history as the only fortified city in North America!

Eat French Canadian Food

French Canadian food is SO GOOD, you guys! Clockwise from the top: Mushroom parmesan poutine at Le Chic Shack, Kir at Aux Canadiens, and duck at LeSam.

Where to Stay

Hotel 71 in Quebec City is located in Old Quebec at the base of the hill. It has wine on tap and one of the best showers we've ever had the pleasure of using
