There are a variety of markets to explore around Quebec City, offering local produce and products in a relaxed, community atmosphere. Indoor or outdoor, you’ll find a range of crafts and jewelry, ice cream, fruit, free samples and much more as you wander through these markets.

Marché du Vieux-Port

Marché du Vieux-Port is an indoor market located right near the Quebec City train station, making it a convenient first stop as you arrive in the city. Here you’ll find both locals and tourists partaking in cider sampling and, depending on the time of year, enjoying the fresh, in-season produce, and wandering through stalls selling different jams, meats, spices, pastries and more. Vendors will also proudly explain their home-crafted goods to you, offering more insight into local culture and traditions.
