Not that many clubs or nightlife.
In a nutshell
A well protected historical and cultural treasure!
Place Royale & Le Petit Champlain
72 Reviews The oldest commercial area in North America ! This is one of the nicest area of town. Pedestrian streets lined up with nice restaurants and shops. The area was in bad shape until the 70s when the Quebec governement invested public funds to give the area it's old look ! One of the most picturesque...
33 Reviews Montmorency is a 20 min drive from Quebec City. At 84 meters, Montmorency falls was beautiful but not as Spellbinding as Niagara. We had 2 options - to drive or take cable car to the top of the Suspension Bridge. We took the Cable car which was fun to ride once. If you guys have tried cable cars...
5 Reviews and 336 Opinions Stayed as guest of the Quebec Saint Malo race organisers. Good continental breakfasts. Coffee -...
7 Reviews and 293 Opinions I could also say 3 days in paradise. The room in the new museum part built as we where told in 1730,...
9 Reviews Aux Anciens Canadiens is located in the oldest standing house in Quebec City, one that has made it through its fair share of battles as you can tell by the cannon ball lodged in a tree on the other side of the street (see picture). Built in 1675, the Maison Jacquet, as it was then known, was at one...
7 Reviews When I checked out of the bookstore with my travel guide of Quebec City, the cashier told me to make sure I went to the restaurant with the big pig on the sign. She couldn't remember the French name, but she definitely remembered the food! Shortly after my arrival in Quebec City, I stumbled upon...
10 Reviews After our group evening meal out, we broke up into smaller groups as we made our way back to the Loews hotel, some opting for a taxi instead of the climb up the cliffs separating the harbour from the heights above! However, I along with guys from Ontario and Indiana ended up at a street bar just...
5 Reviews Chez Maurice is the more upscale of places to go in Quebec City. The downstairs plays the usual dance music found in Quebec while the upper bar's music varies with. Fridays tend to be the most fun as the bar is packed and it's Latin night upstairs. Dress to impress or come during one of their many...
6 Reviews Traveling from Montreal to Quebec City by bus is fairly easy. It takes about 3 hours, and there are departures every hour on the hour. Once in Quebec City, you can choose to stop in Sainte-Foy, which is where the university, malls and some hotels are, or downtown Quebec, which is closer to the old...
11 Reviews Quebec's main railway station is the Gare de Palais which is situated towards the Old Port on the edge of Downtown and at the bottom of the hill from the Old City and so is within easy walking distance of either. This is one of those railway stations which harks back to the golden age of rail...
11 Reviews Quartier Petit Champlain is without a doubt one of the best shopping districts I have found and really enjoyed walking about. For all the details I just provided their web site but the ambiance of the place is amazing especially during the Carnaval when all the merchants share in the celebration...
6 Reviews The day we visited the Chateau Frontenac we were told there were 1000 students on a visit to the city and wherever we went there were crods of students. We thought we might be safe in the Chateau's shopping arcade, however it was worse as the the hotel was 100 years old and reflected the style of...
26 Reviews Through our trip to the provences of Quebec and New Brunswick we would stop at a restaurant and see the mysterious word "Poutine" on the menu. Finally I was brave enough to ask, "What the heck IS Poutine" and a kind waiter explained it to me. Poutine is uniquely French Canadian and is French fries...
20 Reviews Outside the Old City, very few people speak fluent English, but in the tourist area, most everyone speaks English. Signs, however, are often only in French (unless the English is smaller), so take caution if you are driving! It is handy to learn at least a few french phases.
6 Reviews ... It's a joke ! "Wo" was the call french canadian used to use for stopping horses...some years ago. More seriously, the trafic sign are pretty similar to those you will see in United States. Just take care that you cannot always turn right on red lights, espacially in Montreal. If this is...
Souvenir shops in Vieux Quebec
7 Reviews Don't buy the maple products, like sirup and cookies, at the tourist stores, it's too expensive. In the tourist area just buy the maple sugar candies because they don't have at the grocery stores. You can go at any grocery store off the tourist area and find it. The sirup in glass jar is very...
20 Reviews Quebec City is one of Canada's snowiest cities. On average, we receive 3 m of snow every year but the 2007-2008 winter was our snowiest ever, with about 5.6 m of snow!! It is not rare to see the first snowfall in October, but we sometimes have to wait until January before there is any snow to speak...
11 Reviews On a trip to Quebec City, a stoll down the Orleans island is a must. This island is not densely populated and it's people have preserved the atmosphere that the island has had for centuries. It's one of the first location of french settlement. The original settlers built schools, church and various...
10 Reviews This history of the Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre Basilica goes back to the very beginnings of the New France colony, when a small wooden chapel was built by the St. Lawrence River in 1658. It was soon replaced by a bigger church dedicated to St. Anne, and as the popularity of this religious site continued to...
11 Reviews If you have followed any of my pages across the north you will have seen many different aboroginal groups featured so when I got to the Carnaval and saw the Cree exhibits I was delighted to go to that section of the carnaval and explore around. I would encourage you to spend some time at this part...
7 Reviews Local all-vertical-surface-climbing training outfit Roc Gyms handles instruction and trips for all levels of climbers, beginner to advanced. For the absolute beginner, they run half- and full-day sessions at the Chute de Montmorency that are a great introduction to ice climbing. Our instructor was...
15 Reviews Get up EARLY and walk around the city for some peaceful views, especially in summer when there are more tourists. I arrived in Quebec in the late afternoon and found the city overrun by school children. It was annoying to say the least so I went to bed early and rose early. I was out on the town by...
