Quebec City

Catitude · ‎01-09-2014

Anyone travel there recently and if so can you suggest some things to do, places to stay or dine? It's been so many years since we were there last but looking forward to seeing the city again. I remember how much it reminded me of Europe. Thanks!

My husband took me their for my birthday one year (July). I remember going for a horse & buggy ride through the old city and the driver was telling us about their winter celebration (can't remember what it was called). I was very interested and the driver told us what the winter temps were and the hubby said no way. I actually would still be interested in going to that but I have not yet. Beautiful old city - we ate some great food and wish I could remember more but whatever you do, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Here is a link for you. I am Canadian. Love Quebec City. You will be greeted en francais but people will switch to English if you reply in English. Wonderful sights to see. Walk the Plains of Abraham along the St. Lawrence River. Visit the art galleries. Eat fabulous food and shop. Have fun!!!

We were there years ago and stayed at the Chateau Frontenac. It's an older hotel but beautiful. They don't build Hotels like that anymore.

Quebec City has a lot of museums but my favorite place by far was Petit Champlain District. I swear If I didn't know better, I could have been back in France. It's wonderful!

Have a great time. I could spend a week there!

I was in Alberta last September and was astounded at how expensive everything was. Meals and hotels were at least twice what they are in the US. I'm talking about at places like Chili's, not a grand restaurant.

Opurrra, Chateau Frontenac is one of those grand old hotels. Loews Le Concorde is in the same general area and adjacent to The Plains of Abraham. Check out Trip Advisor for more info. I never go anywhere without looking at Trip Advisor for hotel and restaurant info. LM

In the 70's, stayed at the Chateau Frontenac. We arrived by car very late and the hotel stood out in the moonlight light a well lit postcard of a fairy tale. However, the room was so old that the closet wouldn't fit but a few items of clothing; the mattress had to be reinforced and was still uncomfortable; and, the worst memory: for dinner I ordered a whole baby lobster. The waiter offered to remove it from its shell---seeing how little meat there was for the outrageous price, he returned all the shells to my dish!!! We were to have stayed a week but left after 3 days: bored with boat ride, attitude of folks ( I have a Masters in French Literature and speak the language which they obviously didn't know), the funicular, the University, and shops. Hope it has changed for the better for your trip. Our trip was in September.

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

We stayed there too. Quebec City is very European. We enjoyed everything and are thinking about going for a few days in the fall or after Thanksgiving when the Christmas decorations are up.

I've stayed in Chateau Frontenac in the summer. It is an old European feeling hotel--but I loved its architecture. Just riding down to the little shops below--it was interesting. After dinner, I just sat outside and people watched and enjoyed the view of the river and city. There is a beautiful cathedral there. I'm all about architecture. (Cathedral-Basilica of Notre Dame).
