Description
Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec in Canada, is one of the oldest cities in North America. Founded in 1608 by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, it stands out for its well-preserved historic architecture and European charm. The city is known for its cobblestone streets, fortified city walls, and the iconic Château Frontenac, which is recognized as one of the most photographed hotels in the world.
The city is divided into two main areas: Old Quebec and the modern city. Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, retains its historic character with its narrow streets and vibrant marketplaces. Visitors can explore landmarks such as the Plains of Abraham, where pivotal battles occurred, and the Basilique Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Quebac, an exquisite example of baroque architecture.
Quebec City hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including the famous Winter Carnival and the Summer Festival. The diverse culture, influenced by French heritage, offers a range of culinary delights, art, and music, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking a unique experience.
