Québec City Holidays

Québec City is one of North America’s most enchanting destinations – a place where French history, culture and architecture come vividly to life.

• Old Québec (Vieux-Québec): A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only walled city in North America north of Mexico. Expect cobbled streets, centuries-old stone buildings, lively squares and a strong sense of French colonial heritage.
• Château Frontenac: Perhaps the most photographed hotel in the world, this grand hilltop château dominates the skyline. Whether you’re staying inside or simply strolling past, it’s a must-see.
• The Citadel and Plains of Abraham: Walk the ramparts of this active military fortress and explore the sweeping green spaces where French and British armies once clashed – now perfect for picnics and panoramic views.
• Petit-Champlain District: One of the oldest commercial neighbourhoods in North America. Wander its narrow lanes filled with artisan shops, galleries and cafés, all beneath strings of fairy lights and hanging baskets.
• Île d’Orléans: Just 15 minutes from the city, this pastoral island is dotted with orchards, vineyards and farmsteads. A day spent here meeting local producers is a serious treat. The best way to sample local wines, cheeses, fruits, jams, maple syrup and, of course, poutine is with a private picnic in an orchard.
• Quartier Saint-Roch: A creative, up-and-coming district filled with indie boutiques, third-wave coffee shops, street art and a younger local crowd, a contrast to the Old Town’s traditional charm.
