Beautiful but gimmicky. Too many souvenir shops. Also very pricey. I liked the outdoor terrasses. (This is well over 50-characters!)

The lower town is less charming than the upper town and you have got only a few places to visit. Take the Funicular down from the Upper Town at $2.25/pax and save yourself the breath. The Funicular station is located in the city centre on the way to the Chateau Frontenac. there is a big signboard so you can never...

The view is excellent. Everywhere you go, you see well-maintained old buildings. The city is very clean from what I saw.
Loved Quebec City. Went mid-September 2012 and fell in love with the city. I recommend staying within walking distance as parking looked difficult. I can't wait to go back! If you want a European feel without traveling there, sink into the heart of Quebec
The lower town has some of the best hotels and finest restaurants to be found. Some people have said that Initiale is the best restaurant in the province. Their art galleries and clothing boutiques are cutting edge. There are many antique shops as well for you to browse.
You must visit the lower town - it is incredibly picturesque with pretty little storefronts. This feels like Paris in Canada. And, it faces the St. Lawrence river for even more beautiful views!!!
Every traveler knows the high points of Quebec City, but the fringes are also fun and interesting. As a rule: If you spot a tourist bus, you're in the wrong area of town. Follow the locals.
Having visited Williamsburg often as a child, I find Quebec City's Lower Town to be as 'old world' and charming. It is a unique combination of historic buildings and quaint shops and restaurants. A slice of Canadian history well worth visiting!
From the ride down the Funicular from Upper Town you get a glimpse of this wonderfully restored historic area. Visiting the quaint shops, restaurants and historic sites make for an enjoyable time.
Lots of little boutiques with a variety of quality goods. Superb dining opportunities, from casual to elegant. Just a few steps down from Vieux Quebec proper, and there's a funicular if you need it.
