 Fortified Walls of Quebec! by jamiesno
Stretching over 4.6 km, the walls and ramparts bear witness to the evolution of Québec's defensive system from the 17th to the 19th century.
I think you will agree that the fortified walls add to the historic ambiance and charm of Quebec City.
In the winter it is far to slippery to walk along the tops of the walls and most of them are closed off for safety reasons. Beleive me I ventured up on top a couple of times following foot steps but quickly realized I didn't want to fall!
In the summer time though it would be a perfect way to explore the city and enjoy the amazing views. Leave a Comment

Prior to your visit to Quebec City you can order a free tour guide on-line or by phone, or pick it up at the visitor centre or at your hotel once you get here. These tour guides are offered by the Department of Tourism and are extremely well made. They include several different walking tours of all the different Quebec City areas, including a tour od the city within the fortifications, a tour of Parliament Hill, a tour of the Old Port area, and so on. Quebec City is not that big and it is very safe so you don't have to worry about taking a wrong turn and getting lost in an unsafe area. It is an easy and cheap way to discover the city and get to know your way around. Most walking tours also include interesting details that you probably wouldn't hear about on an organized tour, so put on your walking shoes and enjoy! Leave a Comment

 Protecting Quebec City! by rmdw
If you're visiting with kids I'd strongly recommend walking on top of a few sections of the wall. Not only is it an adventure, but it offers you a great vantage point of the old city down below. Leave a Comment

 Vieux Quebec is guarded
by its city walls. by MDH
Thanks to the fortress, Vieux-Quebec has survived within its walls, preserving some of the oldest buildings in Canada and artifacts dear to French Canadian culture. You can walk around this relatively-confined area for hours along the cobblestone alleys and streets, passing centuries-old buildings and fortifications, smelling the food coming from restauarants and hearing French being conversed among the locals. It's as close as you can get to Europe without leaving North America.

We had 2 nights during the first week of June to see the city and took advantage of the fine, but cool night to walk through the streets for our first glimpse of the city prior to a walking tour the next morning.
All cities look good when lit up at night, particularly old cities with history and character and Quebec has plenty of that. Most of the shops and restaurants were well lit, very attractive and with plenty of people on the street most went in the direction of Chateau Frontenac . On the lookout in front of the hotel people were constantly taking photos of the river and hotel which looked magnificent and was the"lighthouse" of the city. We felt safe at all times but were back in our hotel just after 10pm.
