How to Visit Québec City on a Budget in 2025

"I relaxed at Place des Canotiers beside the Saint Lawrence River — a new urban square with seating, fountains, and mist that’s perfect on hot summer days; it’s also where cruise ships dock and, in August on Wednesday nights, you can enjoy fireworks, a live DJ, and food-truck eats." - Matthew Kepnes

Lovely park with waterfront view of the St-Lawrence river! This is such a lovely park with great view of Old Quebec as well as the river. It has many sitting options, including hammock chairs and beanbags on the lawn, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day. The small fountain offers a good option for children to play on hot summer days, and the lights on grounds also emit water mist to cool down. This is also the location to watch the Lotto Quebec fireworks. Highly recommend!

What a nice area to set and relax. The park offers a splash area for kids to play with little ports that blow water vapor out. I visited twice. Once to look at the water and the second time to watch the fireworks. What a great time!!

Grand idea for an open recreational park on the river much liked by tourism-exhausted kids. Bring them down for a run-around! Break for parents and carers too.

Place des Canotiers is a beautiful and relaxing spot in the heart of Québec City! The stunning waterfront views of the St. Lawrence River make it a perfect place to unwind or take a stroll. The modern design of the park blends nicely with the historic charm of the Old Port area. There are plenty of seating areas, green spaces, and even interactive water fountains that kids love. It's an ideal place to enjoy the fresh air, watch boats pass by, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. A must-visit if you're exploring Québec City!"

You can’t go wrong with a walk by the port passing by Place des Canotiers and finishing at Petit Champlain. It’s wonderful on fall time, when the sun hits the leaves and all you hear is the sound of gratitude.

So beautiful was a great place to walk around and see. Hard to find some where to use the washroom though.

The most amazing race we've ever seen. I didn't know we humans can do such things. Les quebequis sont sans égal.
