Do & See

Quebec City is so picturesque, you might at some point forget it is a real city. The tiny streets and tiny houses will take you back in time and away from what you would expect of a North American city. However, if the shops, cafes and restaurants are adorable, the streets and monuments will remind you of the historical importance of Quebec.

Old Quebec

The beautiful old district of Quebec offers a great view on the Chateau Frontenac. Strolling around, you can find various churches, monuments, pretty squares, and as you move towards the Quartier Petit Champlain you can feel the true spirit of Quebec. Be sure to visit all the little shops and restaurants along the way.
