Quebec City Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River, Québec City exudes a French flair unique to its North American location. The only fortified city north of Mexico, Old Québec (officially the Upper City, Haute-Ville, within the fortifications) has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But the Lower City, Basse-Ville, is actually the oldest part of town since it was here that Samuel de Champlain built his first settlement. Both areas, with their narrow streets, historic buildings, and cafés, are great for strolls, while tumbling waterfalls and scenic parks just minutes from the city make it a great place to enjoy the outdoors.
