    Absolutely fascinating! Wander along the cobblestone streets and take in some window shopping- or if you want, buy beautiful gifts and artwork. Amazing photo opportunities with the Chateau Frontenac imposing up ahead. Absolutely stunning! To save your legs, catch the furnicular up to the top ($5 cash only)

    A great experience from start to finish.
    Parked at the foot of the falls and took cable car to the top, then walked over the bridge and back down the steep steps on the other side.
    Saw two guys fishing in the shallow water beneath the falls, thought they were walking on water!
    Kiosk at the top was closed, probably because of the mandatory 2 hour lunch …
    Falls not that dramatic but high so a fun couple of hours.

    A great place to relax in the sun or in the shade with great views over the water and the Lower town. You can take the funicular from here (right near the statue, located in the glass house) to reach the Lower town, or you can wall all the way to the Citadel (the entrance is on the opposite site though, if you want to visit it). Lots of information about the origins of the terrace and several musicians to entertain you.

    A very romantic place, if you like history and it reminds me of so many historic European cities.

    To one side, there are several hotels, some older than others, with probably bird eye view over this whole location.

    Gorgeous cathedral and free to access (unlike Notre Dame in Montreal where there is an entry fee of 18 CAD) with the lines you normally find in more northern European cathedrals as opposed of the Portuguese or some Spanish cathedrals for example.

    I liked it's simplicity with only some golden adornments around the altar area besides the usual stained glass typically found here.

    Quiet, despite being located in the busy part of the old Quebec town and just beautiful.

    To reach the lower town you either take the funicular from the Dufferin terrace for 5 CAD one way/per person (the entrance is located inside the glass square houses right near the statue - don't forget to press on the door to access this area) with the capacity of the funicular of max 6-8 people and going every minute, reaching the old town in 1 minute.

    The other option is to walk all the way here, if you have the energy, and immerse yourself in more touristic attractions with lots of over prices cake shops/ice cream shops/nougaterie or restaurants and fashion shops far detached from the French or European fashion though.

    Cobbled streets located near the water, the ferry not far from here, a gorgeous piazza with people watching as in the style you find in most of Med countries, if you are fortunate to be here on a sunny day.

    Lovely views of the city of Quebec and excellent tour. You can only tour with a guide as this is an active military base. Tours are given in several languages, last about an hour, and vey informative.

    Place Royale specifically is a square with cobbled streets located just off the small road that leads to the funicular, if you want to go to the Upper town: funicular costs 5 CAD one way per person.

    This square is full of history, romantic, no wonder is packed with people in the several restaurants in this area, if you come here on a warm day.

    Just gorgeous

    I love Quebec City! Short flight to experience French cuisine, cobble stone stone streets in one of the oldest cities in North America. And, these French speakers are actually Friendly! Let me not forget to mention the great exchange rate for our dollar.
