An absolute must-see, the Québec City region is steeped in history and generous in nature. The Old Québec district is known for its historical appeal as well as its heritage sites, museums and cultural attractions. Parks, mountains and outdoor centres just a short drive from the heart of the city invite thrill-seekers to enjoy all kinds of activities.

Must-sees and new discoveries in Québec City’s museums

In the fall of 2026, two major openings will contribute to a renewed experience offered by the museums in Québec City. First of all, the Musée national de l’histoire du Québec, a brand-new museum, will be dedicated to showcasing Quebec’s culture, identity and evolution; and the Espace Riopelle – Pavillon Michael Audain will be a magnificent new addition to the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. For a trip focused on local culture, be sure to also visit the must-see museums that showcase the province’s history and creativity. The Monastère des Augustines, the Musée de la civilisation, and the Musée des plaines d’Abraham are just a few examples that promise fascinating discoveries.

Discover the flavours of Île d’Orléans

Located just 15 minutes from the capital’s downtown core, Île d’Orléans is brimming with tasty treasures that foodies won’t want to miss! Taking a tour of the island is a chance to appreciate not only its bucolic landscapes, but also the abundance of its terroir. Take part in the grape harvest or stroll through the vineyards with a glass of local wine in hand, go apple picking in one of the island’s orchards and enjoy the many products made from apples, or stop at a farm to pick corn, squash, pumpkins and much more!
