Details About Quebec City
Destinations » Atlantic Seaboard » Eastern Canada » Quebec City
Quebec City, Quebecs capital and oldest city, is a perfect blend of old and new with a distinctive French accent. Walk winding cobblestone streets on the way to cozy cafes and shops in the Upper Town, and visit some of the city's best restaurants in the Lower Towns Place Royale, where Samuel de Champlain established a trading post in 1608. Visit the grand Chateau Frontenac Hotel for a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River; the hotels green copper turrets and imposing towers serve as fitting crown.
Attractions
Ascend 2,600 feet to the top of Mont St. Anne in a gondola and watch the Saint Lawrence River and the Isle of Orléans pass below. From the summit, a team of draft horses will pull your sled to your destination on the mountain, the South-West Cottage. There, enjoy fresh pastries and cocoa as you admire the savage beauty of the mountains below.
Activities
- See the beautiful granite Basilica of St. Anne-de-Beaupré before visiting the breathtaking Montmorency Falls, where the Montmorency River cascades over a 272-foot cliff before emptying into the Saint Lawrence.
- Munch on a slice of fresh bread and homemade maple spread as you travel along the scenic old Beaupré Coast and through the picturesque villages of French Canada.
- Experience the charm of the old quarter of Quebec City with a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride one evening.
Currency
In Canada, the Canadian dollar (CAD) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, and often offer a good exchange rate. In all of Canada, a 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST) must be paid on all transportation, accommodation, restaurant meals and just about anything else you purchase, right down to a pack of gum.
