Old Quebec

Old Québec, a UNESCO world heritage treasure, is alive with history. See for yourself with a visit to the Fortifications of Québec and the Citadel, the city's two main defensive works. Moving from military history to religious history, take in the stunning Notre-Dame-de-Québec Basilica-Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the Jesuits Chapel, and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. After stopping off at one of the city's many museums and interpretation centres, take a walking tour or a horse-drawn carriage ride to get a true feel for this unique historic district. Fine dining and shopping are an art form in Old Québec, particularly along rue Saint-Jean and rue Saint-Louis, where European charm adds a dash of flair to any outing.
