Walking Tour of Quebec with Fortifications
Experience Old Quebec on a guided, three-hour walking tour through nearly four centuries of history. Begin at Place-Royale, the historic square that has been the heart of Lower Town for centuries, and view Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. Stroll the pedestrian-only Petit-Champlain Street and take a scenic ride on the funicular to Upper Town, where you'll admire the iconic Château Frontenac. Explore the archaeological crypt of Forts-et-Châteaux-Saint-Louis, home to over 120 artifacts revealing the lives of past governors. Finally, journey through the fortress area, passing significant landmarks such as Place d'Armes, the Québec Seminary, the Ursuline Convent, and Artists Alley.
What you will see along the way:
Quebec City, the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec, was founded in 1608. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in North America, it brims with living history, 17th-century architecture, elegant churches, and heritage buildings. The Historic District of Old Quebec was placed on the World Heritage list in 1985 and encompasses both the Upper Town and Lower Town as well as gates, ramparts and fortification walls. Key attractions include Place-Royale, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Petit-Champlain Street, the funicular (from Lower Town to Upper Town), Château Frontenac, Dufferin Terrace, Forts-et-Châteaux-Saint-Louis, and the Upper City. Your tour will leave you with a deep appreciation for North America's only walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
