Are you looking for travel info on Quebec City? This travelogue focuses on Quebec City in Canada, wonderful UNESCO city and oldest capital of the North American continent, offering the opportunity to spend some pleasant day in this picturesque corner of Quebec. Although a complete tour of the city and surrounding area require a couple of full days, you can also visit Quebec City as a day tour from Montreal using tour buses.
The first building that catches your eye as soon as you arrive in Quebec City is probably the Château Frontenac (Fairmont Le Château Frontenac), a structure completed at the end of the 19th century, built on top of a hill, that is currently an hotel with capacity for thousands of people.
The tour in Quebec City begins from Basse-Ville (lower town), the neighborhood at the foot of the hill, where the Royal Square (Place Royale) and the ancient church of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires are located. The construction of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires began in 1687 to end in 1723 and, over the following centuries, has received numerous maintenance and restoration works.
