Is there a border crossing close to Quebec?
Yep the main crossing is the Blackpool Border Crossing (also known, in Canada, as the Lacolle Crossing) which connects St Bernard de Lacolle in Quebec Province to Champlain in New York State. Autoroute 15 in Canada, Interstate 87 in the US.
Hope this helps.
Also, Interstate 91 connects with Autoroute 55 near Sherbrooke, and the closest border crossing to Quebec City is the one between US Route 201 (Maine) and Can Route 173 in the Beauce region, about 2 hours south of Quebec City.
I´m not sure what you mean by "close". Do you mean "open" rather than "closed"? Or are you referring to borders between Québec and Ontario/Newfoundland/New Brunswick?
I seem to recall (perhaps my memory is bad)a "checkpoint" coming from Ontario to Québec but it was not a "border" - though I wouldn´t doubt that the Québecois might like to install one there. :)
Yes
Here's a list of border crossings with duty free shop between Québec Province and the U.S. If you are enquiring strictly for Québec City, closest border crossing would be Armstrong, first on list here. NOTE the Routes are given, so you'll find all crossings easily on a good road map.

Stroll down to the port via a staircase off the boardwalk, and you will eventually come to the port area and Old Quebec. Fom here you can take a cruise for a few hours for some nice photo ops of the Chateau Frontenac and the Montmorency Falls.
I think Quebec is one of the most beautiful city, at least in North America.One of the best way to see the city is taking the elevator up to 'L'Observatoire de la Capitale'. At 31 floor high, it's not quite a skyscraper,but up there you'll enjoy a 360 degrees view of the whole Old Quebec and the surrounding region.I always take visiting friends up there to give them a better bird's eye view of the city they'll be strolling in afterwards. There are also some nice tidbits of info about the city's history. I spent, and still do actually, many summers playing music on the streets of the city.I just love those streets in the Old Town, with people walking by.It is a city you have to walk through.
You will hear a lot about the fact Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage site. One of the main reasons for this designation is the significant portion of historic infrastructure that has been preserved.
But here in this picture you will see a monument. This is located just in front of the Chateau Frontenac in old Quebec and it represents Quebec joining the community of UNESCO world heritage sites.
People in Quebec City speak french for the most part, but don't be scare, the majority know enough of english to communicate with you. What you could do is just learn a few sentences that could be useful to you or buy a small dictionnary. Maybe you won't need it, but just in case...All the signs are in french (on the road) but tourism places are usually bilingual (like menus in restaurants, explantions in museums...)
Here some examples of the sentences:
Bonjour: Salutation used at any time of the day
Bonsoir: Salutation used at night (after 6PM)
Où sont les toilettes? : Where is the bathroom?
Combien ça coûte?: How much is it?
Où est...?: Where is...?
They use the metric system, so it's kilometer not miles and celcius not Fahrenheit...take a conversion guide with you if you are not familiar with that.
They are very fun people, full of humor, and who like to party...anytime!
Quebec's temperature goes from +30 to -30 celcius (86 to -22) depending on the season, so dress apropriately. Winters are quite humid so layering up is the best way to go. By the way..it can get windy..so have windproof clothing..
La temperature variant de 30 a -30 ( 80 a -22 farenheit) habillez-vous en conséquences. L'hiver est humide alors plusieurs couches sont conseillées. Bring lot's of film! You'll need it!
Amenez beaucoup de films, ça en vaut la peine!
