Things to Do in Québec City for Young Adults

Go for a drink in one of the bars, or craft breweries is a must while in Québec City. For enjoying an outdoor drink streetside or dancing the night away in a trendy club, there's nowhere like Grande Allée!

Away from the more touristy areas, mingle with the local population and make friendly meetings in the various lively neighbourhoods. 

Note that the legal age to purchase and consume alcohol in Québec is set at 18 years old. 
 

Winter and summer are both great for extreme sliding at Village Vacances Valcartier, where you’ll find Everest, the highest accelerating slide in North America! In summer, Turbo 6 will shoot you into the water at over 60 km/h! And in winter the most intrepid thrill-seekers will enjoy the 4 different slides of Himalaya.

Village Vacances Valcartier is just one of the Québec City area’s many places to enjoy sliding with friends.

The vibrant cultural scene of Québec City offers young adults a multitude of unforgettable experiences, with the renowned Festival d'été de Québec leading the way. Every July, the city rocks to the beat of the best home-grown and international performances. 

During the winter season, Grande Allée becomes the epicenter of New Year celebrations featuring outdoor musical performances and the iconic countdown to welcome the new year. Electronic music enthusiasts and fans of visual art are in for an exhilarating experience as Igloofest takes center stage in Québec City. Embrace the winter festivities and groove to the beats of both local and international DJs. 

Baie de Beauport is the ultimate destination to instantly transport yourself to vacation mode! Do a little sunbathing on this kilometre-long sandy beach or, if you are more the active type, play soccer, volleyball, or toss a Frisbee. Canoes, kayaks, rabaskas, centreboarders, catamarans, windsurf boards and paddle boards can also be rented on-site. 

Station de la Plage is a brand new section of Promenade Samuel-De Champlain and has everything you need to enjoy the beautiful summer days: fine sandy beach with chairs and parasols and an infinite swimming pool, giving the impression of bathing in the river. 

Québec City is renowned for its professional and university sports teams.

Take in a game with friends. With Rouge et Or football at Université Laval, Québec Junior Major Hockey with the Québec Remparts, and Frontier League with Les Capitales, you can't go wrong!

The cobblestone streets and historic buildings of the Old City are a perfect backdrop for the dark, spooky tales of early colonial times heard during Les Promenades Fantômes and Ghost Tours of Québec. 

Experience the excitement of outdoor adventures at places like Arbraska or Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, where you can actively participate in activities, including zip-lining through the treetops and conquering challenging obstacle courses.

Adrenaline junkies have a wealth of options to push their limits.  Take the wheel for outdoor karting sessions, navigate through turbulent rapids while rafting, or venture into the unique experience of ice canoeing across frozen waters. For two-wheel enthusiasts, embrace the thrill of fat biking or explore mountain trails on a mountain bike.
