What to see in Quebec City

1. Château Frontenac & Terrasse Dufferin
   The boardwalk runs along the foot of the Château Frontenac and opens a wide view over the Saint Lawrence River, the lower town and the Lévis shore.
2. Vieux-Québec (Petit-Champlain)
   At the foot of Cap Diamant, Petit-Champlain gathers cobbled lanes, tightly packed stone houses and craft shops, all within the UNESCO-listed setting of Old Québec.
3. Chute Montmorency
   At 83 meters, Montmorency Falls towers over the entrance to the Île d'Orléans and stands thirty meters taller than Niagara Falls.
4. Plaines d'Abraham
   This wide, grassy plateau in the middle of the city is both a historic site, where a decisive episode of the 1759 Battle of Quebec took place, and the city's great backyard.
5. Citadelle de Québec
   Perched on Cap Diamant, the Citadelle is a star-shaped fortress that is still home to soldiers, and you feel it as soon as you walk in.
6. Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec
   The museum gathers several centuries of Quebec art in Battlefields Park, surrounded by greenery.
7. Marché du Vieux-Port
   This public market on the edge of the Old Port showcases produce and goods from regional growers and artisans, in a relaxed and lively setting far from the souvenir shops.
8. Île d'Orléans
   Just minutes from downtown Québec City, Île d'Orléans feels like a step back in time: six villages, old stone and wooden houses, and fields running down to the Saint Lawrence.
