Top Things to Do in Québec City this Spring

Let yourself be charmed by the excitement of spring and the unique character of each neighbourhood. Take a guided walking tour to discover the city’s fascinating history, then let the season guide your steps.

Enjoy your first meal or sip your first beer of the year on a sunny patio, or treat yourself to your first ice cream of the season. Wander through local boutiques to refresh your wardrobe, and take a moment to savour one of the city’s finest coffees as you stroll through downtown, soaking in the lively atmosphere around you.

At this time of the year, most hotels offer lower rates than usual, along with discounts and special offers. Whether it's in the heart of Old Québec, at a resort, in a cottage, or in unique accommodations, it's an excellent way to break free from the routine!

Already very popular in the fall, Québec Table Gourmande is presenting its first-ever spring edition from April 17 to May 3. More than 60 establishments will take part, offering affordable prix-fixe menus and highlighting local agri-food producers, allowing guests to experience the flavors of the region directly on their plates. The list of participating restaurants will be announced on April 8.

Treat your taste buds and stock up on maple syrup for the coming year in one of the sugar shacks of the region.

An excellent choice for a delightful urban experience is to wander over to the urban sugar shack at the Grand Marché de Québec.

We learn, reflect, and marvel in museums. With its rich history, Québec City is filled with museums where history is told in an engaging manner.

The exhibitions not-to-be-missed this spring:

• Crowds. Humans in Interaction: Discover a fascinating exhibition on display at the Musée de la civilisation, exploring the behaviours and phenomena associated with various types of crowds.
• Hyperrealistic Sculpture: An exhibition presented at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, highlighting the evolution of the human figure in sculpture since the 1970s.

What a joy to ski under the spring sunshine! As the season comes to a close, the 4 ski resorts in the Québec City region offer a festive and lively atmosphere.

Lounging in a hammock, dining in a bathrobe, relaxing in an open-air hot tub... The cool days of spring are perfect for taking a relaxation break at one of the Nordic spas in the city or its surroundings.

At Sibéria Spa, Nordique Spa Stoneham and Versant Mont-Sainte-Anne, escape in a wooded environment. At Spa des Neiges and Strøm Spa Nordique, relax in outdoor baths with a view of the St. Lawrence River.
