These falls are quite impressive as are the views along the bridges that cross the waters and the stairs that descend to the base of the falls. Be ready for a good walk and wear proper shoes. More

The falls are visible from the highway, but it is much better to have a closer look. We enjoyed the view from the bottom and then, instead of taking the cable car, we drove to the top of the falls. The route to the top is not well marked, but we found our way by just keeping on climbing. Several... More

Just outside and east of Quebec City is a large park with the focus on a tall waterfall, Montmorency Falls. The falls are 83 m. high (272 feet) nearly 100 feet higher than the famed Niagara falls though not as wide. The falls, set in a green park and surrounded by cliffs, are spectacular.

It was surprising to see the great Montmorency Falls so close to the city and "hiding" from the visitor's eyes... But it is a truly amazing view and it is a must see when you visit Quebec City More

Wonderful to see this natural wonder. You can pay for parking at the bottom, and walk up to the top or take the gondola ( about $10 per person-return). However, you can also drive to the top near the falls ( in a residential area beside Falls), and walk to the falls- free!! Take your camera!! Great time. More

I still don't understand why people have to run to Niagara Falls. At Montmorency, you are feet away from the falls, you can feel the power of the water, admire the magnificence of the fall. More

We went out to Montmorency Falls on a bus trip. The falls themselves are well worth the visit, they are beautiful and it is a fairly easy walk to the falls. The view is lovely More

We were there on a windy pouring day, and yet the sight was breath taking and well worth the ten minute drive from old town. More

Very picturesque and a good place to get outside the city to get some air and stretch your legs. The bridge over the falls is awe-inspiring. More
