Quebec | Quebec
Salut!
Where the river narrows.
Welcome to Quebec – La Belle Province!
The Capital of Quebec. Originally Kébec . Called Quebec City, but officially Quebec – same as the province.
It’s a new world! New language, culture, food and a completely different type of city that can’t really be described!
-
Fortified city and cobblestone streets worthy of exploring
-
Real fresh and local Poutine along with Lumberjack Feasts
-
Patios and nightlife in Grand Alle including Boite de Chansons.
-
Château Frontenac – one of Canada’s grand railway hotels
-
Massive nearby waterfalls that you can get up close to
-
Take the challenge and scale and climb beside a 74m waterfall
-
Visit the Plains of Abraham, Battlefields Park and the Citadelle
-
This place is breathtaking - like stepping into a different time and world altogether – Quebecois style!
-
Classical architecture, fortified walls/core and a distinct Quebec + European feel.
-
Food, history and loads of fantastic nightlife & beverages as well!
-
We always recommend that folks take their time and explore the cobblestone streets of Quebec.
-
From Lower Town, Place Royale, Terrace Dufferin and around. There are great sights and alleyways to meander and maze your way through – get lost.
-
The pictures of Quebec can’t do it justice. You just have to not only see it - but feel it!
-
Also the views of the Château Frontenac – one of Canada’s grand railway hotels can’t be beat from the Plains of Abraham or from across the St. Laurent.
-
Soak it in at sunset for some vibrant colours.
-
You can also check out the Citadelle - a museum and active fort with a very long and interesting history.
-
The nightlife in Quebec is fantastic (along with their food!).
-
You can sit back and relax in Grand Allee on the patios.
-
Or check out the Sainte Roche area and play pinball and retro video games inside a local bar.
-
Did we mention our favourite – a Boite de Chanson for the evening. Local live Quebec singers doing local classics + pop music sung for free. Requests from the crowd are appreciated!
-
It’s classically Quebec.
-
Poutine.
-
Frequently mimicked – but never duplicated.
-
It may not always look pretty which makes sense as it was first described as "being a grand ole mess!".
-
We are just about in the cheese curd capital of Canada and the birthplace of poutine. You haven’t had real Poutine until you have had it in Quebec (the province).
-
Want to try something a bit different than classic Poutine? Have a Lumberjack Casserole!
-
You’re welcome!
-
Quebec has some majestic waterfalls near the city that we get you to.
-
One of our favourites is Montmorency that we will check out on the way to Quebec. You can make your way all the way down to the bottom – and get a little soaked as well!
-
We also may have some others on the way that are similarly grand.
-
One majestic place to visit is Canyon Sainte-Anne.
-
The views from the platforms are awesome – as are the suspension bridges and beyond for those that don't want to take on the Ferrata challenge.
-
Keen on it? Get up to some Via Ferrata and get up close to a 74m waterfall – maybe getting soaked.
-
We have a dedicated post here all about it to help know all the details.
