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.
