With centuries of history mixed with modern-day entertainment, discover what awaits in one of the oldest cities in Canada when you book flights to Québec City.
When your flight to Québec City lands, start by spending some time in Vieux Québec, the historic quarter also known as Old Québec. This area is the historical hub of the city and a World Heritage Site, with buildings dating back centuries. This area charms tourists with European flair, cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and architectural wonders.
If you decide to book your flight to Québec City in the winter, keep in good spirits in the colder weather with the Carnaval de Québec. Running since 1894, Québec’s Winter Carnival is the largest winter carnival in the world, featuring hundreds of activities, like parades, snow sculptures, dog sledding, and ice canoe races.
Be sure to spend some time with Bonhomme, the carnival’s famous and jolly life-size snowman ambassador. He’s sure to delight the little ones and make the whole family feel welcome to the festivities. Don’t forget to also pay a visit to Bonhomme’s sparkling ice palace.
Head to the highest point of Haute-Ville, Upper Town, where you’ll spot Château Frontenac. This iconic hotel is internationally renowned for its balance of old-world beauty and modern luxury. As the most photographed hotel in the world, it also offers some picture-perfect views of the St. Lawrence River and Old Québec below.
Along with the history-steeped walls of districts like Old Québec and Place Royale, there is a modern side of the city that is just as exciting.
Grab a bite at Québec City’s best restaurants. Let your palette explore the neighbourhoods of Lower Town, Saint-Roch, and Little Italy. You’ll have French and international cuisine served with a smile and a “Bon appétit!” in no time.
