Québec City and Area is home to several grandiose places to admire the natural show of the fall colours. Here are 10 places where the landscapes are particularly spectacular.

Gastronomy is one of the main reasons to visit Québec City, regardless of the season. In fall, the culinary scene is at its peak with bountiful harvests fueling the creativity of chefs. More than ever, the richness of the terroir is on the menu of the restaurants in the region.

The Québec City region produces several quality local drinks. Why not take the opportunity to make your own wine route to visit the vineyards?

With its vast cycling network, Québec City invites you to get on a bike and visit the city and the region while enjoying that special freedom feeling. No bike? No problem! You can rent one or go on a bike tour. There is also the option of the new bike-sharing service àVélo, which offers electric-assisted bicycles in several stations in Old Québec and in central neighbourhoods.

MTBers will find plenty of places to test their skills—and their pedal power—less than an hour outside Québec City. Vallée Bras-du-Nord, Mont-Sainte-Anne, Empire 47, and Massif de Charlevoix all have great trails for all levels of rider, including beginners looking to try the sport, while the enduro trails at Sentiers du Moulin are the perfect place to get sendy.

Fall wouldn't be fall without apple picking! For picking your own, head to Île d'Orléans as well as Côte-de-Beaupré. In most orchards you will not only find apples but also many processed products or local spirits.
