Quebec City Hotels

Québec City, the bilingual and utterly European capital of Québec province, borrows some of its grandeur from a lofty cape and some from a broad river, and has a foundation that's older than that of any other city in North America (north of Mexico).

The city divides between an Old Town bristling with historic ramparts, churches, narrow lanes and former battlefields, and districts revamped with museums, cafes, bars, restaurants and all the other mod-cons of international tourism.

Québec City is the compact capital of the sprawling geopolitical monster that is Canada's largest province, Québec, which lies partly on the Atlantic seaboard in the far east of the USA's northern neighbour. Québec City, located in the south of the province near the border with the US state of Maine, is pooled on top of and below the cliffs of Cape Diamond (Cap Diamant) at the confluence of the St Charles and St Lawrence rivers. In early 2002, its municipal limits were expanded a hundredfold to engulf all of the surrounding cities, including Lévis and Ste Foy, which is why some estimates of (Greater) Québec City's population exceed 670,000 people. The bit of town up on the cape is called Upper Town (Haute Ville), while the bit that dribbled down to the base of the cliffs is called Lower Town (Basse Ville); both areas have old and new sections.

The heart of this enigmatic provincial capital is its walled Old Town (Vieux Québec), which takes up the northeastern end of Upper Town and was World Heritage-listed in 1985. The heart's main artery is Rue St Jean, clogged with bars, cafes, restaurants and drifting clots of tourists, while running along the cliff edge is a viewsome boardwalk called Terrasse Dufferin. Just north of busy Place Royal at the eastern end of Lower Town, and surrounded by the oldest network of streets in the city, is Old Port (Vieux Port) - a more apt name would be Not-So-Old Port, as the area has undergone significant redevelopment. West of the Old Town walls are the less touristy, more down-to-earth neighbourhoods of St Roch (in Lower Town) and St Jean Baptiste (in Upper Town). You'll find the long-distance bus terminal on Rue Abraham Martin in the northern section of Lower Town, while Jean Lesage International Airport is off Hwy 40 about 10km (6mi) west of town.
