The Québec City German Christmas Market• Old Québec

Whether Mariah Carey’s Christmas album is already blasting through your speakers or you’re more the type to hibernate until summer, the German Christmas Market in Quebec City is simply an unmissable event that will dazzle all your senses.

Starting with your nose, which will be left speechless by the aromas of delicious (and local!) food drifting between the little wooden chalets. I strongly recommend going on an empty stomach because, let’s be honest, the holiday season is made for indulging! Good resolutions don’t begin until January 😉

I almost forgot the most important detail… The German Christmas Market in Quebec City runs from November 20 to December 23, 2025, every week from Thursday to Sunday, as well as on Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd of December.

Sliding on the Dufferin Terrace • Old Québec

Did you know that people have been sliding down the Dufferin Terrace for over a century? And the sleds haven’t been replaced since the very first run!
Just kidding—though you will be riding traditional wooden sleds that can reach speeds of up to 70 km/h over a 250 m descent. Each sled can hold up to four people. More people = more weight = more speed = more fun.

And to make the most of this iconic activity without wasting time in a long line (especially during the Holidays), you can purchase your tickets directly at our concierge desk.

Ophélia Restaurant • Grande-Allée

The terrace season may already be behind us, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up the pleasure of dining outdoors.
Restaurant Ophélia, on Grande Allée, offers a magical way to enjoy the open air even in the heart of winter thanks to its domes that can accommodate up to four people. (Just like the toboggan run… coincidence? I think not!)

Available from December to April, these transparent cocoons take you on a gastronomic journey between land and sea, all while keeping you warm and wrapped in the cozy winter atmosphere and the charm of the snow-covered city.

Since the experience is highly sought-after, don’t hesitate to speak with the concierge as soon as possible so we can reserve it for you during your stay.
