About Quebec City

Quebec City is a French-speaking walled city above the St Lawrence River, with cobbled lanes, a grand hilltop château and a historic old town.

Quebec City stands on a cliff above the St Lawrence River, and its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of stone houses, church spires and steep cobbled streets, is the only walled city north of Mexico. Samuel de Champlain founded a settlement here in 1608, and the Château Frontenac, a copper-roofed grand hotel, dominates the skyline above Dufferin Terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Quebec City: Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec), Quebec Royal Square (Place-Royale), Petit Champlain District (Quartier Petit Champlain).
