Local Attractions
Old Quebec – Fortifications de Québec – Old Quebec is the beating heart of the city and the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac is the iconic landmark that dominates the skyline and sits right on Dufferin Terrace. A UNESCO World Heritage Site where 400 years of history play out across cobblestone streets, fortified walls and some of the finest architecture in North America. Lose yourself in the boutiques and cafés of Petit-Champlain, or simply soak up the atmosphere of a place that feels unlike anywhere else on the continent.
Montmorency Falls – Just minutes from Old Quebec, Montmorency Falls plunges 83 metres into the gorge below, higher than Niagara and every bit as dramatic. Walk the suspension bridge, take the cable car or follow the boardwalk to the base for a different perspective. In winter the falls partially freeze, forming a spectacular ice cone that locals have been climbing for centuries.
Plaines d’Abraham – The Plains of Abraham, the first historical park in Canada, is a grandiose urban park, an oasis in the heart of the city where the city’s largest cultural gatherings take place. It was on the Plains of Abraham that French and English troops fought in 1759 during the famous Battle of the Plains, a decisive moment in the history of Quebec City.
Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame – The Cathedral is the oldest parish north of Mexico, and stepping inside it’s easy to see why it holds such significance. The interior boasts soaring ceilings, ornate gilding and centuries of history etched into every corner. Worth ducking in even if grand churches aren’t usually your thing.
