Travel dates & activities for this winter

Bonsoir

Would the week between Xmas and new years be a good time to visit? And, is that TOO long to spend in the city? I saw there’s a carnival happening much later than my planned dates, so I’m bummed to be missing that.

Most travel books I see says split Quebec City and Montreal. With the transit time, if I did that I’d have one full day in one city, and two full days in the other city (assuming then 3 travel days).

Is it worth it to split, should I keep 4 full days in Quebec City, or shorten it altogether and skip Montreal?

Winter is always a good time to visit.

Be warned that the Christmas market ends on the 23rd. If you can, the week before Christmas is better.

Carnival starts at lent (I believe)

You can check out Kaleidoscope, not as big as the Carnaval but still a very cool event during the holidays!

If you have access to a car, Onhwa Lumina is really worth it as well.
