46.8139°N, 71.2080°W
Perched upon Cape Diamond, Old Quebec is a jewel of stone where every cobblestone alley whispers four centuries of francophone history. The Château Frontenac stands sentinel over the St. Lawrence River beneath the stars, while the fortifications trace a crown of light in the Canadian night. Gift a star map of the national capital — a present as romantic as a stroll on the Dufferin Terrace under the first snowfall and the Milky Way.
Famous Landmarks
Château Frontenac
46.8139°N, 71.2080°W
The Château Frontenac, opened in 1893, is the most photographed hotel in the world and the undisputed symbol of Quebec City. Designed by architect Bruce Price in the château style, it dominates Cape Diamond and the St. Lawrence River from its copper-capped turrets. It hosted the 1943 Quebec Conference where Churchill and Roosevelt planned the Normandy landings.
Old Quebec
46.8139°N, 71.2080°W
Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, is the only walled city in North America north of Mexico. Its 4.6-kilometre ramparts encircle cobblestone streets, lively squares and buildings dating to the 17th century. The Petit-Champlain district, with its shops and murals, is considered the oldest commercial district in North America.
Montmorency Falls

Montmorency Falls, at 83 metres, surpasses Niagara Falls by 30 metres and plunges into the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City. A cable car, suspension bridge and 487-step staircase allow visitors to admire this natural spectacle from every angle. In winter, frozen spray forms an immense ice cone known as the 'Sugarloaf'.
