Where is Quebec City?

Situated in the south-eastern Province of Quebec in Canada, Quebec City is the capital and its history dates back to the first permanent settlement in 1608, making it one of the oldest European settlements in the North Americas.

It is also the only fortified city north of Mexico. Quebec has a fabulous collection of 18th and 19th century architecture and ancient sites. Its ancestral walls are home to a beauty all of its own, this making it worthy for inscription during 1985 as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Old Quebec overlooks the meeting of the St Charles River and the larger St Lawrence River. Some of the heritage buildings to see include the Parliament Buildings, City Hall, Citadelle de Quebec, Le Manege Militaire, Chateau Frontenac and Notre-Dame de Quebec basilica-cathedral.
