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 season. We’ve got top-notch golf to play, art galleries to visit, markets and festivals to discover. We've got Science North and geological wonders and a cutting-edge lab that’s two kilometres underground. Try some new restaurants with phenomenal choices, from gourmet vegan, family-friendly or Indigenous fare, or hit a brewery for the flavour of the season. Go on a hunt for some of Sudbury’s famous locations, discover local mysteries that you may not have known about, or enjoy a weekend full of sustainable, eco-friendly fun. Heck, maybe it's time to finally try porketta bingo.

Now’s the time—experience your perfect winter in Sudbury this year!
