The old port has nothing old about it and is replaced by modern cranes, buildings and warehouses just like any other port in the world

Local vendors bring their special foods to this market. A very charming gathering place with lots of great Quebec souvenirs and food!

The port area has many shops and cafes that can be easily reached by walking. Also, there is a Marche de Vieux Port, country market, where you can buy cheese, bread, sausages, fish, fruit, ice cider, paintings and many other things - its lots of fun.

A lovely afternoon wandering amidst the architecture and artisan shops here. Fun to watch the glassblowers and the textile artist creating silk scarfs.

The port is nothing spectacular in itself, but the area around the port has many small shops and cafés that you can enjoy. Just be careful not to buy anything of value close to the port, because that's where all the merchants jack up the prices, knowing that stupid tourists are walking around :)

There is an excellent market in the Vieux Port - and the nic ething is that it is (reasonably) walkable!! Vendors come in from teh surrounding areas and offer everything from produce and meats, to baked goods, wines, maple everything, spices, cheese etc etc etc.......

Lovely to wander the old streets and enjoy the history of the place. Take a good guide book to help you know what you are seeing.

You'll feel like a time travellar as you walk the cobblestone streets and explore the 200 -300 hundred year old buildings but your hotel room will have all the modern comforts including wifi.

Really nice especially as the Saint Laurent was frozen - or at least carrying huge pieces of ice. Go for walks along the Saint Laurent river, beautiful scenery and with so much history
