Fall in love with Canada’s past. Fall in love with Québec City!

There are some places in this great land of ours you just have to visit. Québec City is one of them! As much a symbol of Canada as the Rockies, it blends the past and present in a compelling ode to our shared heritage.

The jewel in Québec City’s crown is Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Home to historic landmarks, strollable streets, galleries and boutiques, and so much more, graceful Old Québec will enchant you with its timeless appeal. Uncover the secrets of some 400 hundred years of history in Canada’s birthplace. Sample the restaurants and shops of Petit-Champlain, Canada’s oldest commercial district. Explore the city’s artistic and cultural heritage. Here you can immerse yourself in the past as you experience an unforgettable present.

Catch all the excitement
With such a vibrant culture, there’s always something happening in Québec City. All summer long, a bevy of concerts, shows, and festivals sweeps the city up in a festive spirit of revelry. Be sure to catch the renowned Québec City Summer Festival and its colourful performers and live musical acts. There’s also the SAQ New France Festival, which recreates the early days of New France in the heart of Old Québec. You can even don period costume as you delve into the pages of history! Québec City loves to have fun—and it shows. What’s more, here the fun comes with a French Canadian twist!

Breathtaking nature
Set in a natural environment of rare beauty, Québec City also offers a host of outdoor activities. Lakes, rivers, and mountains unfold in such a dazzling succession of vistas, you won't believe you're so close to town! Experience the excitement and adventure of the great outdoors with rafting, canoeing, climbing, camping, hiking, biking, and swimming and other activities that will have you coming back for more.

Say “Oui” to great food and good times
But Québec City has so much more to offer, including world-class dining and an active nightlife. Whether you want to savour a sumptuous meal at a gourmet restaurant or live it up at one of countless nightclubs, bars, or lounges, Québec City has just what you’re looking for. And, as one of North America’s top travel destinations, Québec City offers first-rate accommodations for any budget or taste. Bilingual staff are focused on your needs, and many hotels are located within easy walking distance of key attractions such as Old Québec. You can also choose from numerous packages to build the no-hassle vacation you’ve always wanted. We roll out the red carpet, because our guests always come first.

Easy to find, hard to forget
Best of all, Québec City is closer than you think. The city and all its treasures are easy to get to by plane, or to add to any rail or car itinerary in eastern Canada. Whichever method you choose, nowhere else in Canada will you find such a compelling blend of history, culture, art, and action.
