A good way to relax and get away from the crowds.

This was a very nice walk from the Citadel, and it brought us right out to all the restaurants on the upper side when we were done .

Vast

There is so much history to the Plains, but also so much beauty. Visiting during mid summer allowed the opportunity to see the various flower gardens mixed amongst the monuments. The benches provided great views, the paths great walks and the structures great historical interest.

Nice park over looking the river

Located not far from the Observatorie de la Capitale off Av Wilfrid-Laurier you will find this parkland. Large open area with sweeping views of the river. Plenty of benches to sit, relax & take in the view. Few minutes away you will find wide variety...More

Lovely park & great event location

We visited the Plains of Abraham while touring the city. Breathtaking views and a beautiful urban park. It is also an event location - the Summer Festival of Quebec was in progress while we were there.

how close is Hotel Chateau Laurier to the upper and lower town (Old Quebec)?

April 12, 2017|

AnswerShow all 8 answers

The hotel is located in the heart of the upper town. Convenient and easy walking distance from all the sites above and easy to access via "funiculaire" to the lower town.
