Discover Winter in Northern Ontario's Largest City

#DiscoverSudbury

The city of Sudbury, Ontario is home to more lakes (330 of them) than any other municipality in the world—making it the perfect place to experience both outdoor adventures and vibrant city life.

Nickel City is packed with things to see and do this winter—we’ve got fat biking, ice fishing, Nordic skiing, Science North and a cutting-edge lab that’s two kilometres underground. Try some new restaurants with phenomenal choices, like gourmet vegan or Indigenous fare, or hit a brewery for the flavour of the season. Go on a hunt for some of Sudbury’s famous locations, or discover local mysteries that you may not have known about.
