Quebec City

Quebec is one of the most beautiful cities in North America. Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, this fortified city has a rich history, architecture and culture, which can be discovered and enjoyed on foot.

Old Quebec The Old City is one of the most popular areas for both tourists and locals, not only because of its charm but also because of its many restaurants, pubs, hotels and boutiques. St-Jean Street is the main entrance to the Old City. This street is at the heart of the social and cultural life of the city, with Place d'Youville and the Palais Montcalm Theatre on the south side and Le Capitole hotel on the north. During the summer months, Place d'Youville is a stage for performing artists, and once the weather gets cold, people of all ages ice skate here to classical music!

A little further down is the historic St-Jean Gate, where one can find many small shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants. The Magasin Général L.P. Blouin, an old-time general store specializing in souvenirs and collectibles, is a popular stop. ... more

There are certainly a lot of things to see in and around Quebec city. There are also undertones of being anti Canadian or english speaking. There is a plus to being a tourist from the USA though. They might loosen up a little and talk to you in english. If you are found out that you are from Canada they probably will play deef and dumb and won't talk to you. There are other things of note. Take the large art gallery in Quebec city that offers sub titles in French only. This in spite of the fact ... More
There are certainly a lot of things to see in and around Quebec city. There are also undertones of being anti Canadian or english speaking. There is a plus to being a tourist from the USA though. They might loosen up a little and talk to you in english. If you are found out that you are from Canada they probably will play deef and dumb and won't talk to you. There are other things of note. Take the large art gallery in Quebec city that offers sub titles in French only. This in spite of the fact that the citizens of the other provinces paid for it through taxes. Bilingual french speaking persons working for the Canadian government get a 5% bonus and don't think that english speaking just love it. Once you get over the feeling that either everybody in Quebec is dumb or trying to show their french pride by ignoring you... settle in and do your thing and have FUN.
