- sanju_222323New Jersey17,959 contributionsSitting atop this is Québec's star-shaped Citadel, a massive fortress protected by thick walls, ramparts, and ditches that was built in 1832. The Citadel is used as a military quarter for generals, officers, and servicemen, as well as as the summer residence of the Governor General of Canada. it is the largest British-built fortress in North America; it took 30 years to construct. This military site has been active since 1850 when it housed British troops and the British artillery.
Its walls enclose 300 years of history from the New France period to today. Known as "the Gibraltar of the Americas" on account of its strategic location and breathtaking view of the city and the St. Lawrence River. Summer visitors can watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony each morning, and the military museum, located in the mid-18th-century powder magazine in the southern corner of the Citadel, is open year-round.
Admission costs CA$18 for adults. The admission fee includes access to the museum exhibits.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were several exhibitions in different areas, concentrated on very specific things. When I went, it was the indigenous peoples, hip-hop, Trans people, and boxing. Except for items in the first one, mostly it was all digital displays. Still, they were professionally put together, containing interesting information.Written October 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PandPBlackpoolBlackpool, UK324 contributionsA lot smaller than we had imagined it would be and a long way out of the centre of Quebec. Good quality food and drink from local producers. Other stalls which sold things other than food and drink were not open.Written June 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JimmyJackkSan Marcos, CA5,705 contributionsThe Henry Stuart house was built in 1850. It is a great example of the bourgeois society of the early 20th century.

- CanadianViewsMississauga, Canada61 contributionsWhen we arrived we were taken through the history of Quebec city by a young man who obviously knows and loves history. This was so much more interesting than reading the material and much more informative. For the other sections, we read the material and looked at the items on display. Not all of it is available in English which is a bit frustrating. We were given cards with English for one room. I don't find reading as satisfying or informative as an oral recounting so I would have prefered being "guided" through the entire museum. :) The guide checked on us partway through to see if we had any questions which was helpful. I am glad that we went and we did learn a lot.

This one was good. The object were interesting and was great to see some German objects as well. Even found some object relating to my own Grandfather who served on the Prince Robert! My only critique is your map outside the museum. I believe you have an error. Please see attached photo.
Otherwise this is a terrific little museum!Written July 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I came there accidentally August 7, 2020 (drove by) and happy that I did as the lady attending this museum (she is in the pictures) gave me (at no charge) so much history not only of this place but also of the whole area making a big positive difference in my whole Quebec City experience. She made Quebec City historic “live” for me. I believe this is the oldest house in that area and I felt privileged walking on its beautiful grounds. Very much recommend.Written October 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its a good 10-15 minute tour for a reasonable price. 10/10 Will visit again.Written December 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
