With its great
restaurants fantastic
shopping and landmark-packed Vieux Quebec, you’ll find no shortage of ways to fill your days in Quebec.
Sightseers will love their time in
Vieux Quebec (Old Quebec City), the old walled portion of the city. Among its winding cobblestone streets and open air cafes you’ll find landmarks like the beautifully ornate
Notre Dame de Quebec Basilica, the oldest church in North America. More modern offerings also abound, and museum hounds will enjoy the humanities exhibits at the
Musee de la Civilization. After a long day of walking, rest your feet and enjoy the massive beer selection at the British-style
Pub Saint-Alexandre, then take a ride up (or down) the
Old Quebec Funicular (a semi-vertical railroad) and take in the beautiful views of the city and the St. Lawrence River.
The retail offerings in Quebec are more than adequate. Shoppers will find all the latest fashions at Quebec’s legendary
Maison Simons, while girls of any age will thrill to the handmade dolls at
Les Dames de Soie (The Ladies of Silk). Those seeking nightlife need look no further than the two-story
Chez Dagobert. And if you’re in Quebec in February, you’ll have no trouble finding a place to party during
Carnaval du Quebec, when over a million people gather in the city for two weeks of celebration and recreation amid the winter’s white snow.
If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city proper, a quiet afternoon in the historic
Battlefields National Park might fit the bill. And those seeking something a bit more spectacular should venture to the
Chute-Montmorency, where they can walk a suspension bridge over these 275 foot tall waterfalls.
