Old Quebec

If you’re mesmerized by towering fortresses and lavish castles, you’ll be more than pleased to wander the ancient cobblestone streets of Old Quebec. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the only walled city north of Mexico.

Inside its fortifications, lovely cafes and antique shops mix with historical attractions like the Notre-Dame Basilica and the Citadel.

While the Upper Town region houses the Plains of Abraham and the Parque Historique de l’Artillerie, the Lower Town is famous for numerous historic structures. When all the sights blend, breathe in some fresh air at Battlefields Park or Montmorency Falls.

While visiting this breathtaking Canadian destination, you can also combine history and nature with a walk along the scenic Terrasse Dufferin, where your leisurely stroll will be supplemented with incredible city views.

And be sure to find the striking artwork at Rue du Tresor and visit the Musee de la Civilization museum, as well.
