Old Quebec

4.6/5
143 reviews
Old Quebec is a historic district in North America that retains its complete city walls. It was founded by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in the early 17th century and was once the capital of New France. The old city is divided into the Upper Town and Basse-Ville, and is still surrounded by fortifications such as walls, bastions, and gates. The Upper Town is situated on the high ground of Cap Diamant, with the Château Frontenac standing at its peak as a landmark of the old city. The Dufferin Terrace, located right next to the castle, offers sweeping views of the magnificent St Lawrence River. Basse-Ville is built along the river and centers around Place Royale, where the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church is located. The old city is home to numerous churches and convents, with stone houses, copper roofs, and French-style facades creating a unified and unique streetscape. The Upper Town and Basse-Ville are connected by a cable car, or you can walk between them along the Breakneck Stairs, experiencing the legacy of centuries of French colonial culture on the uneven cobblestone streets.Canada · Quebec City

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal is located opposite Place d'Armes in Old Montreal. This Gothic Revival church was started in 1824 and completed in 1829, designed by Irish-American architect James O'Donnell. The exterior of the basilica is solemn and majestic, featuring three towering arches on the facade, with statues of Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist standing above the doors. Two towers, each approx. 60m high, stand on either side. The west tower houses a large bronze bell named "Jean-Baptiste," which was cast in 1848. Stepping inside the church, the first thing that catches the eye is the deep blue vaulted ceiling, inlaid with thousands of golden stars. The altar area is decorated with an intricate blend of blue, purple, red, and gold, making it magnificent and solemn. Hundreds of exquisite wood carvings and religious statues are found throughout. Uniquely, the stained glass windows here do not depict biblical stories but instead showcase the local religious history of Montreal. The church also houses a Casavant pipe organ installed in 1891, containing 7,000 pipes. The interior decoration was led by architect Victor Bourgeau and was inspired by Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. In addition, the basilica features a long-running immersive light experience called "AURA," which uses the entire interior of the church as a canvas, blending the beauty and atmosphere of the architecture through sound, light, and imagery.Canada · Montreal

Old Montreal

4.6/5
249 reviews
Old Montreal is one of the best-preserved historic districts in North America. Founded in 1642 by French settlers along the banks of the St. Lawrence River, it was designated a historic district by Quebec Province in 1964. Cobblestone streets wind through stone buildings dating from the 17th to 19th centuries, where French colonial and Victorian-era architecture stand side by side, making you feel as if you have wandered into an old European city. Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, Place d'Armes, Place Jacques-Cartier, and Saint-Paul Street West form the core sightseeing axis of the old city, where churches, squares, and ancient streets appear in turn. The Old Port area along the river has been transformed into a waterfront leisure zone, where walking paths, cruise boats, and riverside views blend the historic district with modern vitality. This is also a representative district for experiencing the blend of Montreal's English and French cultures, where the architectural fabric left by the French colonial era coexists with remnants of British municipal-style architecture, creating a neighborhood with a rare combination of historical depth and vibrant local life in a North American city.Canada · Montreal

Parliament Hill is located on the south bank of the Ottawa River atParliament Hill, a Gothic Revival architectural complex consisting of the Centre Block, East Block, West Block, and the Library of Parliament. Construction began in 1859 and was largely completed by 1876. A fire in 1916 destroyed the Centre Block, and the rebuilt Peace Tower was completed in 1927 to commemorate Canadians who sacrificed their lives in World War I. The towering clock tower is now a prominent landmark on the Ottawa skyline. The daily Changing of the Guard ceremony and light shows in the summer add a sense of historical depth and modern vitality to this famous Canadian landmark. The Centennial Flame, the open plaza, the towering Peace Tower, the lifelike sculptures, and the Parliament buildings, which are open to the public, attract visitors from all over the world year-round.Canada · Ottawa

Quartier Petit Champlain

4.3/5

Quartier Petit Champlain is the birthplace of Old Quebec and is often considered one of the oldest commercial streets in North America. The street is narrow and paved with cobblestones, lined with stone cottages. Historically, fishermen, dockworkers, and shipbuilders lived here for generations, while today it is filled with rows of small handicraft and souvenir shops, as well as galleries and restaurants. Many shops are run by local artists and artisans, and strolling through it, you can easily feel as if you are in a small European town. There are many noteworthy details on the street. The massive murals painted on the building gables use trompe-l'œil techniques to depict the fires, landslides, and wars that this district has experienced. The Breakneck Stairs at one end connect to the Upper Town, and the platform in the middle of the stairs is a viewpoint for overlooking the entire street.Canada · Quebec City

Montmorency Falls

4.7/5

Montmorency Falls is a waterfall formed at the mouth of the Montmorency River. It is very powerful, with a drop of 83 m. Large volumes of water pour over the sheer cliff and fall straight down, producing a deafening roar and a majestic sight. There are many viewing angles. A suspension bridge spans the cliff top, and standing on the bridge you can look down at the torrent as it drops beneath you. Hundreds of steps and viewing trails built into the cliff lead down to the base of the falls, where you can look up at the breathtaking curtain of water. From the surrounding high ground you can also see the St. Lawrence River and L'Ile-d'Orleans Regional County Municipality. In warm weather, a via ferrata route is set up on the cliff, allowing climbers to ascend along fixed cables for a closer, different perspective of the falls.Canada · Beauport

The cobblestone streets of Old Quebec City are uneven, and the wheels of my suitcase clattered loudly. Houses huddled together on the slopes, their wrought-iron railings rusted, small flowers adorning their windowsills. The aroma of bakery steamed through the alleyways, and around the corner, an old man played the accordion, his melody slow and gentle. Reaching the castle, the St. Lawrence River shimmered grey beneath, and the wind chilled my face. At sunset, the shadows of the city walls stretched long, smoke rose from the chimneys, and the whole city was enveloped in a quiet, golden twilight.

Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica is a pinnacle of North American Gothic architecture. Completed in 1829, this religious landmark, with its twin towers, flying buttresses, and pointed arched portico, evokes the majestic silhouette of a medieval castle. Its deep blue dome is adorned with golden stars, its carved walnut altar is covered in 24-karat gold leaf, and its 7,000-pipe organ and stained glass windows weave sacred music. Witnessing both Celine Dion's wedding and the state funeral of a former Canadian prime minister, its AURA light show, a 45-minute spectacle, juxtaposes 19th-century stonework with digital art, creating a magical space-time experience. From its stained windows in the morning light to its nighttime spectacle of sound and light, this "Little Notre-Dame" remains a timeless landmark where faith and art intertwine.

Parliament Hill is the office of the Canadian government and is usually closed to the public. Now there is a light show every night at 5:30, which projects pictures with constantly changing colors and music. The whole show is about 10 minutes long and is played in a loop all night.

Located in the old town of Quebec, near the cruise ship terminal, you can walk down the stairs or spend a little money to take the cable car down. Petit Champlain Street is not long and is built along the mountain, but there are many shops, especially restaurants and bars. The road is still paved. A bit French!

Montmorency Falls is an alternative to Niagara Falls. It is less crowded than Niagara and quieter. A nice place to stroll in the park.
