Old Québec
Stroll the only fortified city north of Mexico and UNESCO World Heritage treasure.
Bask in the European charm of this UNESCO World Heritage treasure as you stroll and take in over 400 years of history in the birthplace of French North America.
With its steep-sloped streets, colourful houses piled one on top of the other, and its fun-loving and welcoming character, Saint-Jean-Baptiste is the festive neighbourhood par excellence!
A perfect balance between bourgeois and bohemian, the Montcalm neighbourhood attracts epicureans, sports fans, and art and culture lovers in a magnificent historical environment. Head to the Upper Town for a highly entertaining and tasty experience!
Like Griffintown in Montreal or Williamsburg in Brooklyn, within a few years, Saint-Roch went from a working-class neighbourhood to the place to be. Food, culture, technology, fashion, nightlife: take off on a mission to discover the hippest of what Québec City's Lower Town has to offer!
Saint-Sô, as its residents affectionately call it, is a working-class neighbourhood which, over the last few years, has been welcoming an increasing number of young families and professionals looking for a genuine community spirit. Welcome to the Lower Town!
Streets lined with majestic trees, narrow alleys where kids get together to play, old brick buildings with their winding staircases... A favourite among young families and entrepreneurs, this welcoming and original neighbourhood is really coming into its own at the moment. It even has its own slogan: #Limoilove
A four-season paradise for adventure lovers, the region is also steeped in heritage and culture. Explore Route de la Nouvelle-France or visit the Saint-Anne-de-Beaupré Shrine for a living lesson in history!
Nicknamed “Québec City's Great Outdoors,” the sprawling regional county municipality of La Jacques-Cartier, the Québec City area's green belt, lies just 20 minutes north of downtown. Here is an overview of the region, including both its well and less well-known attractions.
The Best Spots to Visit on a Tour of Île d'Orléans
Soak up the beauty of the island countryside and fill your picnic basket with treats on a leisurely trip to Île d’Orléans. With its ancestral homes dating back to the 17th century, the island is a treasure trove of French heritage right here in North America.
The island is a boundless source of inspiration for local artists of every stripe who find all kinds of ways to share their creations, while local makers work with an abundance of terroir goods. The village shops and roadside stands are at their liveliest from mid-June to mid-October, while the scenery offers something new with each passing season.
To make the most of your visit, head out on Chemin Royal in a counterclockwise loop. It will take you through 6 charming villages, almost all of which are ranked as some of the prettiest in the province of Québec.
