Quebec is a city that conquers the visitor from the first moment. It is probably the most European of all Canadian cities and its resemblance to a French town is no mere coincidence. Quebec is a frankly beautiful city that fully responds to the expectations generated by any traveler. It is a charming city where the locals receive the tourist with open arms and where the visitor enjoys to the maximum of all its attractions. The street life, the street performers, and the outdoor shows are very surprising. The views of the San Lorenzo River offer panoramic views that will delight photographers. In addition, both hotels and restaurants offer an outstanding level with very acceptable prices. Without a doubt, Quebec has been the culmination of an unrepeatable trip!
It stands out especially for its geographical location since it extends on a promontory of rock from where it controls the wonder river San Lorenzo. Quebec was declared a World Heritage Site by the UN in 1985 so it is easy to imagine how rich it is in tourist and cultural attractions. In our opinion, it is the most attractive in Eastern Canada and also has the great advantage of being easily visited walking so it does not require the loss of time-outs on long unnecessary trips.

Street artists flood this central street full of life, where French flags flutter alongside the Canadians. It is worth spending a little time and soaking up those contrasts.
