Why You Need to Visit Quebec City

Discover why you need to visit Quebec City during your next trip to the province.

See History Come Alive

The only walled city in North America, Old Town Quebec is said to have been fortified since 1608. Walk along the ancient cobblestoned, European-esque streets of Old Quebec and you’ll find the four surviving gates to the city: Porte St. Jean, Porte St. Louis, Porte Prescott and Porte Kent. Travel tip: keep cash on you during your visit to Old Town, as some of the historic sites charge an entrance fee.

Experience Life like a Local

Quebec City is a hub for many independent designers, boutiques and cafes. Support the local economy during your visit when you shop on Rue Saint-Jean or in the Petit Champlain District. Looking for a bite to eat? Eat like the locals do and munch on poutine, a classic Canadian dish made up of fries, cheese curds and gravy at Snack Bar Saint-Jean.

Breathe in the Fresh Air

After exploring the city, head outdoors to discover beautiful waterfalls, amazing hikes and spectacular views in the Canadian wilderness. If adventure is calling your name, zip line across Montmorency Falls Park or walk across one of the three suspension bridges over Canyon Ste-Anne. However you decide to spend your time outside, you’re sure to make memories that will last a lifetime.
