Things To Do

With all the centuries-old landmarks and stunningly preserved architecture (the city celebrated its 400th birthday in 2008), Quebec City is a history lesson come to life. Filled with forts, cathedrals, and European-style squares, it ignites the imagination of young and old alike. Take a sightseeing tour back in time or just take in the tree-lined parks and quaint cobbled roads on a casual stroll about town.

Place-Royale
This square is the site of the first permanent French settlement and the heart of Basse-Ville. Kids get a kick out of the Centre d’Interprétation, where they can brush up on history (boo!) and try on period costumes (yay!).

La Citadelle
Weather permitting, catch the changing of the guard at the largest fortified military base on the continent. Looks like Britain, sounds like France.
