Quick Summary: Quebec City is a charming European style city, perched on the hill above the mighty St. Laurence River, surrounded by 400-year old ramparts. Quebec City is a delight to visit any time of the year. Stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets of the old city with quaint art galleries, superb restaurants and cafes. Walk along the walls of the old fort and imagine 400 years of history unfolding and a battle fought on the Plains of Abraham below.
