Discover Quebec City

About the city

Québec City is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its beautifully preserved historic district. The old town's cobblestone streets and fortifications offer a glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to experience a step back in time. As one wanders through its narrow alleyways and lively squares, the city's unique French flair becomes apparent, attracting tourists from around the world.

Top attractions

One of the city’s crown jewels is the Château Frontenac, an iconic hotel offering breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River. Visitors can explore the Citadelle of Quebec, a military installation that offers fascinating guided tours. The picturesque Quartier Petit Champlain, known for its charming boutiques and cafes, is another must-see. For those who love nature, the Montmorency Falls Park, with its impressive waterfalls higher than Niagara, is just a short drive away.

Best time to visit

The best time to explore Québec City is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is mild and numerous festivals, like the Festival d'été de Québec, are held.
