Old Quebec has it all from old style design, long history and culture that is quite enjoyable and edifying for the discerning traveler! However, it’s commerciality aspect with a constant flow of people on the narrow streets, who are seemingly only concerned with themselves or taking selfies or pictures in front of landmarks, is a bit irritating at times. My recommendation to the those considering traveling to this wonderful destination, is to go on a walking tour to learn and fully appreciate the experience, patronize the merchants, visit galleries and museums to have a full and enriching experience. I wrote a glowing review of our outstanding experience with the Tours Voir Quebec community recently for your information. Also, when I submitted my review of the Chateau, if was remiss in mentioning the shops on the lobby level including one owned and operated by a fine artist named Annie Pelletier whose works are colorful and lively. Old Quebec is a great walking town with many historic sites and monuments with great vistas of the St. Lawrence River, but to fully appreciate this unique town, please go inside to understand and patronize the quality merchants in order to a have a full experience while in Old Quebec. Highly Recommended!

What a magical place Old Quebec is. We worried about not speaking a bit of French but it wasn’t a problem whatsoever. The locals jumped at the opportunity to show off their English skills. Everyone spoke really good English and the locals were very kind and welcoming. Make sure to visit the Basilica which is breathtaking. Old city Quebec is also a must with its rich history and cobblestone streets, shops and restaurants. Pop into the Frontenac Hotel and go downstairs.. there’s a small museum with artifacts found on-site and old pictures (and history (it’s free) and walk the boardwalk to Governors Promenade and on to the Citidel. What awesome views. My favorite was umbrella alley. So quaint. But most importantly take your time and just wander around and take it all in. There’s something around every corner .. it’s like being in Europe! Well worth the visit!!

Old Quebec City is beautiful and just like being in Europe. The architecture, both English and French, is beautiful. It was quiet (and cold) when we first got there on a Wednesday but by Friday, people were everywhere and this was May! I can't imagine what it's like in the summer. There was music on the streets, and everything was lit up. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. There are some good tours to go on - try a walking tour and a food tour. We stayed in a B&B in the old town which was very convenient. Many excellent restaurants are there.

We toured old Quebec by car due to mobility issues. Our tour guide was excellent and took us everywhere a car could go. He stopped multiple times to allow us plenty of time to see the site and take pictures. Fascinating architecture! Definitely a must see!

One of the most picturesque cities in Canada, maybe the most picturesque combined with colonial history. Also a food-lovers paradise, plus lots of great cafes. Also parks, great walks. One must visit here at least once.

Very Romantic, fun place to visit. We'd suggest visiting with partner, friends, etc. Wonderful restaurants, bars, shopping. I'd suggest not bringing your pets (not very dog friendly) and kids might not enjoy as much as adults would.

The biggest downside that Old Quebec has is that everyone has figured out that it’s charming and picturesque, and the streets, restaurants and shops are crowded as a result. I can’t blame a place for being popular. The shops and restaurants are local rather than corporate. There’s history and archaeology here; not just shopping and dining. It’s clean and relatively sedate considering how busy it is. There are views of colonial streets and houses, the castle-esque Fonterac Hotel, the St. Lawrence River and the old town walls set up with cannon. It’s modern but still authentically historical. Definitely worth the trip to visit.

Bit of France in North America. Charming city, great views of the St Lawrence River and lots of room to roan, if you can avoid the midday and afternoon tourist crunch. Get there early and be ahead of the crowds.

Took the ferry across to Old Quebec, well priced for a return trip. From there on we walked along the boardwalk and made our way around the La Citadelle de Québec and the various viewing points along the way. The buildings in and around Old Quebec were just amazing. The architecture the history, made for an enjoyable walk. We sat at one of the sidewalk restaurants, relaxed and had some enjoyable food and drinks. We continued to walk around and take in some more of this fascinating place. We left on the ferry with more views of the city behind us and will remember this for a long time to come.

Incredible! The architecture throughout the Old Quebec was absolutely incredible. If you appreciate old buildings and details of architecture, this area is a must to see. Lots of food and shopping options. Although a hillside, it is fairly easy to walk around as they provide many resting spots to enjoy the scenery.
