"Quebec City, c'est magnifique!" Quebec by Dabs

Quebec Travel Guide: 1,531 reviews and 3,293 photos

I had wanted to visit this city for years since seeing an article in National Geographer Traveler with the pictures of the amazing Chateau Frontenac hotel which dominates the Upper Town of Quebec City so I finally cashed in some miles and headed to Montreal with a 2 night stay in Quebec City and found the city to be just as charming as it looked in that National Geographic article!

Quebec City was a place where I really didn't have an itinerary, the joy of Quebec City is wandering the well preserved streets of the Upper and Lower Town, enjoying a drink or a helping of poutine on an outside patio and relaxing.

We happened to be in Quebec City on the day that Italy won the World Cup against France, I was a little surprised at all of the supporters that came out honking their horns and waving Italian flags.

    Never been to Quebec City, but it does look like a wonderful city to visit. Looks like you had a great experience there. Crepes and sugar pies - oh my!

    Awesome. Now I will have a full poutine belly before planning the perfect time to attack those smug guards at the Citadel.

    That's a very dark sky in your Citadel photos! What would they do if it started raining right in the middle of their 45 minute guard changing? Duck and run for cover? -- Glad to see there are lots of cyclists in Quebec City.
