Quebec City rises above the St Lawrence River, with a historic core whose walls, stone buildings and steep streets create one of North America’s most atmospheric urban landscapes.
Inside Old Quebec
Historic squares, landmark buildings and excellent restaurants make the old city rewarding on foot. French-Canadian culture is present in language, food and everyday life rather than simply in architecture.
Beyond the walls
The St Lawrence, Montmorency Falls and countryside beyond the city make easy additions, while Montreal can be linked by road or rail. Winter gives the city an entirely different character.
