Quebec City is a charming town in Canada with so much to offer. It has something for every visitor, from various delicious restaurants to elegant cocktail bars. One of my favorite activities when visiting Quebec City is taking the ferry to and from Lévis. You can enjoy the most gorgeous sunset views from here, with Quebec City in the background.

The Québec City Ferry

You can take the ferry from Lévis to Quebec City or vice versa, which takes only 12 minutes. The ferry crossing crossing connects the north and south shores of the St. Lawrence River. 

If you enjoy the crossing during the day, you can admire Château Frontenac from the sea. In the evening, marvel at the breathtaking sunset views as the city lights begin to twinkle.

You can explore Lévis variety of parks and restaurants before returning to Quebec City. If you would like to spend your entire time on the water, you can even just take the ferry there and back!

We had the most amazing sunset during our ferry ride; the sky turned pink, purple, orange, and yellow hues. It quickly became the highlight of your trip.
