Must-see places in Quebec

Quebec's Must-See Wonders

Quebec’s landscape features a mix of 17th-century history and vast natural scenery. This collection spans from the historic streets of Old Quebec, where North America’s oldest grocery store sits near the fortified Promenade des Gouverneurs, to the Laurentian Mountains' dramatic waterfalls and gorges. Cultural institutions like the Musée de la Civilisation explore provincial heritage, while the Hôtel du Parlement showcases Second Empire architecture. The selection also includes panoramic views from the Observatoire de la Capitale and the biodiversity of the Roger-Van den Hende Botanical Garden.
