We visited this area for the Winter Festival which was an entertaining experience for first time travellers.
A visit to The Plains of Abraham brings you to a crossroads of history. You get to explore The Citadelle, the great walls of the city here, and a view of Parliament. We also got to enjoy so many of the Winter Carnival events here as well. The snow and ice sculptures, ice slides, food, drink and vending.
If you're not a history buff, this is a nice green space in old Quebec. The plains are unsheltered, so heed the warnings and dress appropriately. In the winter, you're going to need all of the winter gear you can find to enjoy yourself here. In the summer it can still be quite blustery. For those who are interested in the history of the place, there are good explanatory signs along the way.
walking on the plane in any season is wonderful you have the citadelle the walls la porte st-louis the parliement on the other side of the beautiful grande-allée fantastic
I have visited the Plains of Abraham during the day, at night, for a festival and for a picnic. It is fantastic in all settings and definitely worth a visit. Also worth exploring the history of the place as quite impressive
He was the farmer who used the "Plains" out side the Citadel as a grazing pasture for sheep. We most recently saw the Plains as the setting for the Quebec Winter Carnival. That alone gets numerous stars, but the gem is the winter cross country skiing over miles or open parkland. And it free.
Enjoyed cross country skiing the Plains of Abraham and watching the ice skaters at the outdoor rink. Great place to ski!
this an open space right next to the citadelle. its beautiful and has a lot of space to play around, specially during winter time when there is a lot of snow.
Very beautiful and big park. You can walk and enjoy a great scenery ! This is an important place for the city.
Great huge parc in the City. For shows, outdoor sports; skiing, jogging, cycling, soccer, crossfit, football, ... close to the National Arts Museum.
