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.

It is a museum of history and culture that has a beautiful flower garden at the top of the main building. Background sounds classical music. In its interior, they emphasize their temporary exhibitions reason why it is worth that you visit your web before going to the place where they are exhibited.
- Chateau Frontenac:
Undoubtedly it is the most famous building in the city and stands out for its majesty filled with the copper roof. Today is a hotel run by the Fairmont chain and its appeal lies especially in its height as it dominates the entire city.
- Place D ‘arms:
It is the square where the cable car arrives from the lower part of the city making it the city’s first view for many of its visitors. It is located at the back of the Chateau Frontenac and stands out for its beautiful gardens and the horse carriages that are offered for a walk in the area.
- Street performers:
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.
- Saint Louis and Saint Jean streets, shopping area:
They are two of the busiest and centric streets of old Quebec, full of shops and restaurants. Whether it’s shopping or strolling, you’ll love it. And between some cars and hundreds of pedestrians, you will see some other horse carriage.

Quebec gives you that opportunity too. Take the ferry, walk, take a bike or drive, and, also the boats depart every 40 minutes. The walk is short and gives you magnificent views of the city!
