Vieux Quebec is really magical. One minute you are in North America and the next minute you feel like you are in Europe. It is a small area, but the each building screams with its own history. I loved it. more

We just spent five days in Quebec City in September of '09. We were glad that we stayed inside the old town so that we were so close to all the sights. We enjoyed simply walking around town and did walk the entire wall (often on top or at least right next to it) and that was roughly five kms... more

We took our 6 and 3 1/2 year old girls to Quebec for a 3 days/4 nights. No one wanted to come home! They wore tennis shoes all day because we did tons of walking - I let them put on crocs at night when we weren't going very far. It is hilly, but not like S.F. - no one... more

Vieux Quebec makes for the perfect getaway. Every attraction is within walking distance and the city is vibrant and beautiful. The people are friendly and are bilingual as well. Street performers are common and add to the scene. They have an abundance of shops, museums and restaurants. Bring your camera and your appetite. more

We are Canadian and lovers of Vieux Quebec in Quebec City. You must try to stay in Vieux Quebec or just outside the wall to Vieux Quebec. "Regular" Quebec City itself is not that different than any other city in North America except most people speak french. But Vieux Quebec is like time travelling to a very relaxing, charming place... more

This is probably the most beautiful urban area in North America and is definitely, at 400, the oldest. If you are traveling to Montreal and time permits, you absolutely owe it to yourself to visit Quebec and especially the old city. more

As we were planning our trip to Montreal city, we were told by everyone, the place to go is Old Quebec city. With this on our minds, we decided to take a day trip there. OH MY GOSH!!! It was like going back in history... The city itself is a walled city... like a fort..which it once was. The buildings,... more
