The Plains of Abraham in Quebec: complete guide to the historic park with Carrera Café as your base

The Plains of Abraham are one of Canada's most historic green spaces. A complete guide to enjoying this exceptional place, with Carrera Café as the starting and ending point.

The Plains of Abraham

The Plains of Abraham are much more than just a park: it is the site of the decisive 1759 battle that changed the course of North American history. Today, this vast 95-hectare green space is one of the most used urban parks in Canada: cross-country skiing in winter, concerts in summer, jogging in spring, cycling in autumn.
