Nature and outdoor activities

Québec City is a dream come true for sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. Its trove of green spaces includes one of the world’s largest urban parks, the Plains of Abraham. The city’s surrounding mountains, rivers, and lakes are just a short hop away, and the perfect place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities year round. Check out the Québec Winter Carnival, the biggest event of its kind in the world, admire Montmorency Falls in spring, take a summer cruise on the St. Lawrence River, or stroll the orchards on Ile d’Orléans in fall—there are plenty of possibilities to choose from!
