North America’s only walled city north of Mexico City, Quebec City is one of Canada’s cultural gems. The Old Town, a World Heritage site, has over the centuries seen the continent’s first parish church, first museum, first stone church, first French-speaking university and first business district. During your stay in Quebec City we recommend visiting the Fortifications of Quebec, La Citadelle, North America’s largest fort, where a changing of the guard ceremony takes place at 10am each day during the summer months, and the Basilica Notre-Dame-de- Quebec.
