The Best Active Vacations

Take a Walking Tour: Combine immersion in Québec's rich history with a good stretch of the legs among the battlements and along the ancient city's cobblestoned streets. Use the walking tours in chapter 17 or go on a group tour; information about meeting points, times, and routes is at the information center at Terrace Dufferin, opposite Château Frontenac.

Visit Montmorency Falls: A 15-minute car or bus ride north of the city is this spectacular iron-tinged cascade -- it's higher than Niagara Falls, as you will frequently be reminded. You can walk to the base and, if sufficiently motivated, to the top. You can also take a cable car to the other side. Incredibly, there's a footbridge, open to anyone brave-hearted enough to walk it, crossing directly over the plunging water. In summer, this is the site of an international fireworks festival.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
