Best places to visit in Quebec City

Renowned for its rich history and vibrant culture, Quebec City is a gem perched on the cliffside of the St. Lawrence River. Established over 400 years ago, its cobbled streets and European charm never fail to enchant visitors. If you're planning to explore the cradle of French civilization in North America, here are some must-visit spots that promise to leave you with mesmerizing memories.

Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec)

  • Old Quebec enchants with its historic architecture and old-world atmosphere. As a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, it encapsulates centuries of history within its ancient walls. Journey through the enchanting Quartier Petit Champlain, Scale the heights of the iconic Château Frontenac, and wander the Plains of Abraham where echoes of the past linger in the air. You'll be transported back to the era of New France with every step.

Montmorency Falls Park (Parc de la Chute-Montmorency)

  • Just a few minutes from the city, Montmorency Falls offers an awe-inspiring sight. Taller than Niagara Falls, its roaring cascades can be admired from a suspension bridge, cable car, or for the adventurous, from a zipline. Covered in a glittering blanket of snow in winter or surrounded by the lush greenery of summer, the falls offer a year-round spectacle. Learn more about its fascinating history and geological significance.

The Fortifications of Quebec City

  • Bearing witness to the city's military past, the Fortifications of Quebec City encompass nearly 4.6 kilometers of walls and gates. Strolling along the well-preserved ramparts offers unique vistas and an immersive history lesson. They signify Quebec City’s strategic importance in the defense system during colonial times.

The Citadel of Quebec (La Citadelle de Québec)

  • As an active military installation and official residence of the Canadian monarch and Governor General, La Citadelle holds a special place in the heart of Quebec City. Take a guided tour to discover its military museum, and if you're there at the right time, witness the traditional Changing of the Guard ceremony. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture the panoramic views from its vantage point.

Place Royale and Musée de la Civilisation

  • Place Royale is where Samuel de Champlain founded New France in 1608. This small but significant square is surrounded by picturesque buildings and charming cafes. Nearby, the Musée de la Civilisation offers captivating exhibitions on the human experience, blending the past with futuristic concepts.
