 Site-Map What's New
Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America, founded in 1608. It is also one of the most beautiful. The old city lies within fortified walls - the only such fortifications left in North America north of Mexico. This portion of the city is the most European-looking and European-feeling of any city in the Americas. The narrow city streets and pedestrian zones, sidewalk cafes, and quaint little shops are a sheer pleasure to see and experience. The old city is full of interesting and beautiful architecture - the most famous of which is represented by the Chateau Frontenac, which dominates the Quebec skyline. Quebec City is positioned along a narrow portion of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, a brief ferry ride across from the city of Levis. Along the waterfront, the Terrasse Dufferin provides a popular and scenic place for visitors to stroll along the Saint Lawrence and view many of the fine old buildings near the Chateau Frontenac.
