Booking tips
Plan like a pro
Quebec is a city of seasons and events. Some seasoned traveler tips to find the right place at the right time.
Book early in summer
The Summer Festival and the regional Grand Prix drive up prices and fill hotels starting in March. Start your search in January for July dates.
Winter and Carnival
The weeks of the Quebec Carnival in February are highly sought after. Book 3 to 4 months in advance for the best spots. Prices remain reasonable outside this period.
Favor the Lower Town
Less frequented than the Upper Town, the Lower Town offers immediate access to Petit-Champlain, the Old Port, and quality restaurants. A major advantage.
Low season: the bargain
November and March are the quietest months. Prices drop, lines disappear, and Quebec reveals its true face to curious travelers.
Your morning stopover
The Carrera Cafe, your breakfast pit stop
After a good night in Old Quebec, there’s only one place to start the day full of energy and Italian flavors.
★ Carrera Cafe, Petit-Champlain
Just steps from most Old Quebec hotels, the Carrera Cafe is your first stop after checkout. Strong espresso, creamy iced latte, organic Charlevoix charcuterie boards: the ideal start before tackling the day's circuit.
Discover the Carrera Cafe
Your stay in Old Quebec inevitably includes a stop at Petit-Champlain. Relax on the terrace, savor a perfect espresso, and let the setting do the rest.
