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!

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, including the annual event, the Spring Madness, at Mont-Sainte-Anne.

Step into Québec City’s rich religious heritage. Where will you start? Your options include the first Catholic parish in North America, the oldest pilgrimage site north of Mexico City, the only holy door in the Americas, and the first Anglican cathedral built outside the British Isles.

And for a memorable evening, don’t miss the immersive AURA experience at Saint-Roch Church: a captivating multimedia show combining projections, light effects, and orchestral music that transforms this historic landmark into a living work of art.

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.
