Flights to Quebec City

Live fares from our airline and agency partners.

Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) sits about 11 miles from Old Quebec, and with no direct rail link, most visitors take a taxi, rideshare, or rental car for the roughly 20 to 30 minute trip downtown.

A French-Speaking City With a Distinct Feel

Quebec City is more predominantly French-speaking day to day than bilingual Montreal, giving it a genuinely different, often described as more European, atmosphere. Old Quebec is the only fortified city north of Mexico with its walls still intact, and the whole district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Real Winters, Anchored by the World’s Largest Winter Carnival

Quebec City gets consistent snow and cold from December through March, and rather than avoiding it, the city hosts the Quebec Winter Carnival each February, widely considered the largest winter carnival in the world. Summers are warm and popular with visitors touring the old walled city on foot.

Getting Around Once You Land

RTC buses cover the wider city, but Old Quebec itself, split between Upper Town and Lower Town and connected by a funicular, is compact enough to see almost entirely on foot.

Search live fares to Quebec City above and consider February if the Winter Carnival’s ice sculptures and events fit your travel dates.
