Before You Go
Essential Travel Tips
Walking is the best way to explore Old Quebec, so wear comfortable shoes. Be prepared for hills and cobblestone streets.
While French is the official language, English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Learning a few basic French phrases (hello, thank you) will be appreciated.
Quebec City experiences distinct seasons. Pack layers, especially if visiting in spring or fall. Winters are cold with snow, and summers are warm and pleasant.
Consider purchasing the Québec City Pass for discounts on attractions and public transportation.
Tipping is customary in restaurants (15-20% for good service) and for other services like taxis and tour guides.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Quebec City for couples is during the late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). These seasons offer pleasant weather for exploring, vibrant foliage in the fall, and fewer crowds than the peak summer months. Winter (December-February) is magical with its festive atmosphere and winter sports, but can be very cold.
Local Insights & Tips
Quebecers are proud of their French heritage and culture. Take the time to appreciate the unique blend of European and North American influences. Don't be afraid to try local specialties, from poutine to maple taffy. The pace of life can be a bit slower than in larger North American cities, so embrace the relaxed atmosphere and savor your experiences.
