Experience Old Quebec on a guided, three-hour walking tour through nearly four centuries of history. Your adventure begins at Place-Royale, the historic square that has been the heart of Lower Town for centuries. At its center stands Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, North America's oldest standing Catholic church. Just around the corner, you'll find the pedestrian-only Petit-Champlain Street and a delightful array of quaint boutiques, strolling musicians, and outdoor cafés. Next, take a scenic ride on the funicular to Upper Town, where you'll visit the iconic Château Frontenac, offering stunning views of the St. Lawrence River. Explore the archaeological crypt of Forts-et-Châteaux-Saint-Louis, home to displays and over 120 artifacts revealing the lives of past governors. Finally, journey through the fortress area, passing landmarks such as Place d'Armes, the Québec Seminary, the Ursuline Convent, and Artists Alley. Conclude your tour with a deep appreciation for North America's only walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
