‘d heard Quebec City was supposed to be pretty. What I didn’t realise was just how pretty it was.
Covered in snow and at temperatures of -25 degrees, Quebec City was a real life winter wonderland. The Christmas decorations were still up adding to that touch of magic and the streets were virtually empty. Just what we like on our adventures!
When you wander the streets of Quebec City in winter you’ll feel as though it’s always Christmas.
Chateau Frontenac looks particularly glamorous in the snow (as you’d expect for a luxury hotel!)
Temperatures in Quebec City plunge so slow that the St Lawrence river completely freezes over…
…that’s until the ferries cross it and break the ice in to chunks which glide downstream.
And one thing’s for sure, you’ll never be short of snow in a Quebec Winter!

Hannah started That Adventurer after graduating back in 2013 and has documented all of her adventures since then. From backpacking South America to city breaks in Europe, a 3 month road trip across the USA in a self-converted van and 6 years living in Canada, you’ll find posts on all of this.
Hannah specialises in active travel and on That Adventurer you’ll find hiking, walking, biking, skiing and all sorts of active travel guides to allow you to see a destination in an adventurous way.
Now back in Europe, you’ll find new guides as Hannah and her husband spend the next year ‘digital nomading’ from Norway to Portugal, Switzerland to Scotland and places in between.
