Highlights
Why it works here
Old Quebec's Upper and Lower Towns are connected by steep streets and funiculars, and the 400-year history of French Canada unfolds as you walk between them. Wexplo narrates the founding, the siege, the British conquest, and the Quiet Revolution that preserved French culture in North America.
June to September for warm walking, or February for the Winter Carnival.
French, English
Compact center — everything on foot
Walk the boardwalk Terrasse Dufferin behind Chateau Frontenac for the view over the St. Lawrence River, then descend to Petit Champlain — North America's oldest commercial district. Wexplo narrates both levels of the city.
