20+ Amazing Things To Do In Quebec City [SUMMER 2018]

As the official capital of the province of Quebec and one of the oldest settlements in North America, Quebec City requires very little presentation

In fact, I get a lot of emails about visitors planning a day trip to Quebec City from Montreal – but every time, my answer is the same: stay overnight. Not only are the train and bus schedules rather restrictive for day trips, but the city is just magical after nightfall and truly deserves a lot more than a rushed, quick-let’s-move-on-to-the-next-place few hours.

First time in Quebec City? Here’s everything you need to know.

Take the ferry to Lévis

To get the best view of Quebec City, you need to leave Quebec City – just for a few minutes! There’s a ferry service between the capital and its adjacent neighbour Lévis, which means that for a handful of change you can cross the St. Lawrence River, sit back, and enjoy the view that unfolds before your eyes.
