Guide to Quebec City
Geography
Quebec City is the second-largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec, after Montreal. It is perched on the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Saint-Charles Rivers. The oldest parts of the city are located on Cap-Diamant, a cape on the edge of the Promontory of Quebec.
Climate in Quebec
Quebec City has a humid continental climate. This means that the city distinctly experiences all four seasons. The best time to visit Quebec City is between June and September or December and January because this is when the city comes alive with tons of festivals and other social events.
Culture
Quebec City’s name comes from the Algonquian term Kébec, which means “where the river narrows” in reference to its location at the meeting of two rivers. In 1608, French explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a settlement here. As a long-lasting result of this, the vast majority of Quebec City’s residents are Francophone, using a form of French known as Quebecois.
Things to do in Quebec City
Explore the magnificent historic district
The streets of Old Quebec house gorgeous European-esque architecture lining winding alleys with cobblestone streets. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic district boasts some of the city’s most iconic attractions like the Citadel, Notre-Dame Basilica, and Quartier Petit-Champlain. Plan to spend an entire day here so you can leisurely visit the various attractions, pop by quaint artisanal shops for tasty pick-me-ups, and dig for the right souvenir to remember Old Quebec by.
Stroll through a lush park
Also referred to as the Plains of Abraham, Battlefields Park is a 267-acre green space located just a hop from Old Quebec. It stands proudly as a testament to Quebec’s history (and Canada’s fate!) because the monumental Battle of Quebec - which concluded when the French ceded Canada to Great Britain - took place at this very park. Today, it’s popular among runners looking to get some fresh air, nature enthusiasts wanting to admire the immaculately manicured gardens, and families getting together to share a picnic.

Rated one of the best restaurants in Quebec City, Restaurant Tanière serves high-concept dishes and world-class wine to patrons inside of a historic vaulted wine cellar. Their preparation of classic steak dishes is unparalleled. Experience the sublime tasting menu with a significant other at Le Saint-Amour, known for employing classic French culinary techniques. It’s just a short hop from Quebec City to a tropical beach resort when you visit Restaurant Sensemilla. Their seafood platters (especially oysters) paired with incredible cocktails are guaranteed to have you doing a little jig with every mouthful.
