In the last decade, the Province of Quebec has really come of age, finding its own identity and independent character from its more European Motherland. Quebec City is a dynamic destination, where the people are warm, vibrant and hospitable. The historic quarters ooze charm and throughout the city hotels and restaurants excel in the region's unique French style cuisine. Our pick of the best places to stay in Quebec City are all ideally located bases for exploring this fabulous place, with many situated right in the heart of the Old Town.
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, eventually becoming Canada's capital between 1859 and 1866. There has been a long and fascinating history of furious struggles with both the English and the Americans.
Quebec City's Old Town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is split between the upper town and the lower town and each has a flavour of its own. The narrow cobbled streets boast an array of 17th and 18th century properties. This is where you'll find not just museums but a plethora of tempting cafes and bars, where the old European influence is very much in evidence.
In summer the streets are filled with artists (musicians, actors, acrobats) dressed in period costume and the place is buzzing. In autumn, (and likewise in spring), you'll enjoy the famous North American foliage - you'll also find it much quieter. In winter, the city boasts one of the biggest and best Winter Carnivals in the country.
