About aurora viewing in Quebec City

Quebec City sits at a similar latitude to the northern tier of New England and upper Midwest US states, needing a solidly active storm but benefiting from being noticeably further north than Montreal.

Where locals actually go

The north shore of the St. Lawrence River away from downtown, or a short drive into the surrounding Laurentian foothills, both improve odds over the city center.

Best time of year

Mont-Mégantic, a certified International Dark Sky Reserve a few hours south, is the region's premier dark-sky destination if you're willing to travel further.
