Quebec is a quaint historic city worth seeing and I am pleased to have visited it. If you are English bear in mind the locals do not like us and are very arrogant. Rude too. We unfortunately went on a walking tour of the city and even the tour guide tried to ridicule us for our nationality. Needless to say... More

Some modern day shops mixed into old architecture. Easily walkable and good access to the Chateau Frontenac. Street signs display the age of the street from their origin. More

We really enjoyed getting to know our way around this part of the city. By the end of four days the two kids (8th graders) knew their way around and felt comfortable finding various places and getting back to our hotel at the top of St. Anne's. Nice shopping and a good variety of place to eat that had comfortable... More

There are certainly lots of your typical tourist shops and cafes, but you'll find them concentrated along a few streets, namely Rue Saint-Jean, Cote de la Fabrique, and Rue Saint-Louis. Away from the main drags, you'll find... More

Me and the girlfriend stayed in a hotel in upper town, and so we walked though upper town on our way to other areas of the city. We ate at a nice cafe in upper town for lunch one day, delicious. The area is very clean and feels safe to walk around in at night. There seemed to be more... More
