Québec City vacation ideas and tourism information



As you stroll through the streets and alleys of this walled city - the only one in North America - you will feel as if you’ve taken a trip back in time.

Poised on a headland below which the St. Lawrence narrows, Québec City – or the "Old Capital" – was first a fur-trading post, and then became a major fort in New France. Close by, on the Plains of Abraham, the English and French fought one of the most important battles in the history of the Americas. As a result, control over the colony passed to the British, who laid the political foundations of the Canada we know today.

When you vacation in Québec City, you will soon understand why its historic district appears on Unesco's world heritage list !

In Québec City, take the time to visit the attractions and museums, enjoy a drink in a sidewalk café, and take a short river cruise. And if you're visiting during the winter, don't miss the city's famous Winter Carnival !
