Sightseeing 

There is plenty to see in both the old and modern sections of the city and the best way to get around is on foot. Helpful maps are available at Visitor information Centers located conveniently around town. Quebec City vacations must include a visit to the Fortifications of Quebec, a National Historic Site. It is the only walled-in city in Canada. You can see lots of old forts and military structures inside the walls. If you like forts, don’t miss a visit to the Citadel. When the Duke of Wellington tried to fortify the city after the war of 1812, this is the spot he chose. This old fort can be toured. Take another step back in history and visit the Basilique-Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-Quebec, a famous 17th century cathedral. You will also want to check out the Old Port and Place Royale, the very heart of historic Lower town. 

Where to stay 

There are numerous places to stay while vacationing in Quebec City. You may want to stay at the stunning Le Chateau Frontenac, one of the oldest hotels in town which has been open since 1893. Some other hotels to consider are Le St. Paul and Chateau Laurier. Prices vary. 

Eat, Drink and be Merry! 

Quebec City is well known for its delicious cuisine. For a real taste of French culture, visit Les Folies de Paris, a musical dinner show. After supper check out Pub St. Alexandre with its vast selection of beers, many of which are brewed in Quebec.
