- TheMcRyansNova Scotia7 contributionsLive old Quebec ! So pretty .. so worth the trip ! I been here summer fall and winter ! Always something to see or do !Written November 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JulesCoffs Harbour, Australia12 contributionsSuch a beautiful area to visit! The funicular lines were long so we walked up to the castle from here.
The small shops were excellent- try the fudge shop 🥰Written October 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - FoodangeManchester, UK2,777 contributionsA great experience from start to finish.
Parked at the foot of the falls and took cable car to the top, then walked over the bridge and back down the steep steps on the other side.
Saw two guys fishing in the shallow water beneath the falls, thought they were walking on water!
Kiosk at the top was closed, probably because of the mandatory 2 hour lunch …
Falls not that dramatic but high so a fun couple of hours.Written October 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TERRAvelistaLondon, UK17,535 contributionsA great place to relax in the sun or in the shade with great views over the water and the Lower town. You can take the funicular from here (right near the statue, located in the glass house) to reach the Lower town, or you can wall all the way to the Citadel (the entrance is on the opposite site though, if you want to visit it). Lots of information about the origins of the terrace and several musicians to entertain you.
A very romantic place, if you like history and it reminds me of so many historic European cities.
To one side, there are several hotels, some older than others, with probably bird eye view over this whole location.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I liked it's simplicity with only some golden adornments around the altar area besides the usual stained glass typically found here.
Quiet, despite being located in the busy part of the old Quebec town and just beautiful.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TERRAvelistaLondon, UK17,535 contributionsTo reach the lower town you either take the funicular from the Dufferin terrace for 5 CAD one way/per person (the entrance is located inside the glass square houses right near the statue - don't forget to press on the door to access this area) with the capacity of the funicular of max 6-8 people and going every minute, reaching the old town in 1 minute.
The other option is to walk all the way here, if you have the energy, and immerse yourself in more touristic attractions with lots of over prices cake shops/ice cream shops/nougaterie or restaurants and fashion shops far detached from the French or European fashion though.
Cobbled streets located near the water, the ferry not far from here, a gorgeous piazza with people watching as in the style you find in most of Med countries, if you are fortunate to be here on a sunny day.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can only tour with a guide as this is an active military base. Tours are given in several languages, last about an hour, and vey informative.Written October 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TERRAvelistaLondon, UK17,535 contributionsPlace Royale specifically is a square with cobbled streets located just off the small road that leads to the funicular, if you want to go to the Upper town: funicular costs 5 CAD one way per person.
This square is full of history, romantic, no wonder is packed with people in the several restaurants in this area, if you come here on a warm day.
Just gorgeousWritten October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And, these French speakers are actually Friendly! Let me not forget to mention the great exchange rate for our dollar.Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia44,432 contributionsThe Plains Of Abraham is an important historical area. This is a battlefields park, quite large in size. Its history goes a long way back to the early days of Canada's beginnings. There are museums and many activities that take place here. It is definitely worth visiting and learning so much about the country's French and British past.Written October 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia44,432 contributionsThe Parliament in Quebec was built in the second half of the 19th century in the architectural style of the Second Empire. The Louvre in Paris was the inspiration for its design. It is an amazing building. It's quite beautiful both inside as well as outside. After going through a brief security check by some very friendly staff we were free to walk around in most areas of the building and enjoyed our time there.Written October 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FoodangeManchester, UK2,777 contributionsWe love being on the water so couldn’t resist the short ferry across the river to Levis.
Very efficient all round and strangely quiet on a sunny Sunday morning.
Sat out on the deck for both crossings.
Not a great deal new to see apart from the Quebec skyline and that lovely hotel …Written October 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Dimitris LSydney, Australia44,432 contributionsMusée de la civilisation de Québec is a “living museum”. It is unlike other museums in that it explores the human condition. It looks at how the body works and how society works. It looks at the history of Quebec and the wider world. You see exhibits about how society has made various advances. There are exhibits about how, for example garbage can be used to actually create new things, how wine bottles and plastic bags can be recycled into pavers! And there is so much more to see. Even the design of the building is quite interesting.Written October 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TERRAvelistaLondon, UK17,535 contributionsThe promenade takes you from Dufferin terrace all the way to the back of the Citadel. It is a long walk, so make sure you have comfortable shoes. I liked that is full of wildlife: we saw many birds, squirrels and even a small snake.
Well maintained, is bears the name of the 'gouverneurs' who used to have their walk here.
Great views over the water and Lower town in the distance.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is meant to spread the word about the history and culture of English speaking canadians. It's a sort of special library. It has vast amounts of information and it really opens visitors' minds into Canada's history and culture.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
