There are four distinct seasons in Quebec City, so packing your suitcase depends on the time of year. In the winter, layers, a warm coat, gloves, a hat and boots are essential due to the snowy, freezing temperatures. In summer, the weather is pleasantly warm, so light clothing, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are advisable. In spring and fall, it can be quite chilly, so pack light layers, a mid-weight jacket, and comfortable shoes for exploring. Always check the weather forecast before packing.
