Neighborhoods of Quebec City: "Neighborhoods of Quebec City"

written: 19 July 2003
Vieux-Quebec (Old Quebec) is the most recognizable neighborhood of Quebec City and the most known. It contains the impressive Chateau Frontenac and dozens of 17th century homes. This is the neighborhood within the walls. In front of the Chateau is Terrasse Dufferin, a wide boardwalk, and the Place d'Armes, a local park. From the Terrasse Dufferin you could take the funicular elevator to Place Royale, the oldest part of Quebec City. Place Royale, however, is not walled. Here you will find Notre-Dame-Des-Victoires (Our Lady Of Victories) church and cobblestone streets with local shops and eateries. From the other end of the Terrasse Dufferin you could take a stairway to the Promenade des Gouveuneurs (Govenor's Promenade) and walk past the Citadel, the official residence of the govenor of Quebec. This boardwalk will end the Plains of Abraham, a part of Battlefields Park, the second largest urban park after Central Park in New York City. Once outside of Battlefields Park you will find yourself in Montcalm. Montcalm contains stately Victorian homes and Grande Allee, a more modern shopping street. If you walk down Grande Allee you will past the Parliament Buildings on the left and you will re-enter the walls of Old Quebec City. To the immediate west of Quebec City is Sillery, a sought-after residential suburb, and farther west is Sainte-Foy, where you could find many shopping malls and car dealerships. Outside of the city is Montmorency Falls, which are larger than Niagra Falls and Ile d'Orleans, a charming rural island.

Pros: Safe, clean, affordable, and worth a visit!
Cons: Small.

written: 24 January 2001
If you're planning to visit Quebec city in the next 2 years and wanna visit the Quebec city's Zoo and Aquarium, nearby to the city itself, it won't be possible for the 2 years to come. The cause is: Revolutionary and Modern renovations are planned for the Zoo and Aquarium and it's closed to any attendance/public for 2 years or so. That was just to let you know!

Pros: Can't say much yet

Je suis à Québec depuis ma naissance et j'ai toujours adoré cette ville. C'est la 19e ville la plus visitée au monde! Elle a été déclarée "Trésor du Patrimoine Mondial" par l'UNESCO en 1987! Québec est vriament une ville à voir! Elle est en pleine expension et rénovation! Tout ce rénove et se construit partout! Elle possède l'Hotel la plus photographiée au Monde qui est le Château Frontenac! Ici on parle Francais mais l'Anglais est comprenable aussi! La capitale Nationale du Québec est un mélange de ville Européenne et de ville Américaine! Avion, bateau, voiture...Tous les moyens sont bons pour venir ici! Rencontrez cette ville qui a été attaquée par les Anglais...Vous ne pouvez pas manquer Québec dans vos voyages, c'est certain!
