Travel Tips

Quebec City is a wonderful modern city surrounding a very old historic walled area. It is an easy & safe city to travel in and English is widely spoken. There are English & French radio and television stations and all the people in the tourist industry speak English.

What to do? Quebec City is probably one of, in not the most romantic city in North America. There are fine caf茅s everywhere, great hotels, fine restaurants, museums, theatre and much more. In the older city there are fantastic views and walking paths overlooking the St. Lawrence River. A vibrant nightlife exists throughout the historic downtown.

From a Quebec Website:

A popular travel destination, Qu茅bec City and its surrounding area welcome over 6 million tourists every year from all corners of the world. The city is full of attractions and fascinating discoveries for visitors.

Lower Town, home to the first settlers of New France, encompasses the old port district and a host of other treasures. Leading the way to Upper Town are steep, winding roads and stairways with telling names, like C么te de la Montagne (Mountain Road) and Escalier Casse-Cou (Breakneck Stairway). And crowning it all is one the most photographed buildings in the world, the famous Ch芒teau Frontenac, perched atop towering Cape Diamond. In Upper Town, the contours of the fortified city are easy to see and explore. In fact, all it takes is a short stroll to understand why Old Qu茅bec was named a UNESCO World Heritage Treasure.

From east to west, Qu茅bec City has it all. To the east, the thundering Montmorency Falls offer a superb view of the St. Lawrence River and 脦le d'Orl茅ans. In the city, visitors enjoy Battlefields Park, also known as the Plains of Abraham. It was once the site of great battles between the French and English armies and is now a famous city park where recreation, culture, and history come together. Further upstream is Bois-de-Coulonge Park, a lovely public garden. This riverside park is a must-see with its beautiful flower gardens and long history. To the west, astute visitors stop by Jacques-Cartier Beach Park, an oasis of greenery on the shores of the St. Lawrence.

And for more ambitious visitors, a network of bike trails beckons. They travel the length and breadth of the city and are an excellent way to discover how culture and nature are inextricably linked in Qu茅bec City only minutes from the heart of town are woodlands, waterways, and wildlife!

From another:

With its homegrown French language, colonial architecture, and horse-drawn carriages, Quebec City is uniquely made for a romantic rendezvous. Encircled by ancient stone ramparts, and speckled with lovely squares, quaint caf茅s, and striking historical buildings, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is also blessed with a phenomenal natural setting above the mighty St. Lawrence River, with plenty of vantage points from which to view the coursing waters. Each season brings its own special charms, too: While summers encourage late-night lingering over wine at outdoor caf茅s, the chilly winters give lovers all the more reason to snuggle up under a blanket in a horse-drawn carriage or get cozy with a delectable fondue for two at a first-rate French restaurant. No matter what time of year you choose to visit, stay in a quaint 17th-century inn (auberge) complete with wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls to complete the otherwordly experience.
