With the current COVID‑19 pandemic, travelling is out of the question. But we’d love for you to come and see our beautiful city from afar! That’s why we’re inviting you to be a tourist from the comfort of your own home.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get a break from the everyday and take a virtual trip in this time of sheltering in place.

    Montmorency Falls Park

    This virtual tour gets you so close to the falls, you’ll feel like they’re in your living room! Take the cable car, visit Montmorency Manor, stop at the Baroness’ Lookout, cross the suspension bridge, explore an orchard, and walk down the 487 steps to the base of the falls. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and far less strenuous than the real thing!
