Quebec is a walking city
Weather was wonderful…walked everywhere…and so much history…a beautiful city ….you can see how much the residents love their city. It is so clean and the people are so friendly and polite. We stayed in the old part of the City. Our hotel was conveniently located and we would recommend this hotel for it’s location and the fact that we could park our car on site (for an additional fee). It was so worth it, as parking is very difficult. I would recommend that you make Reservations for dinner as the restaurants fill up quickly.

Very cute. Not suited for visitors w mobility issues.
Very picturesque and like a storybook. What makes it so cute and like a step back in time, is also why some people should avoid this part of town. Very hilly, lots of cobblestone and uneven streets. Steps to get into every single business. It gets very crowded when the cruise ships come in so you need to get reservations to eat at any restaurant. Most people do speak English in the old Quebec part and most menus have English underneath the French. Ubers are hard to find if you want to go somewhere not in walking distance. Every time we ordered an Uber, it was a 15-20 min wait.

Historic, beautiful, unique architecture in Canada
As this is the only walled city in the Americas north of Mexico, they have managed to preserve the European character of Old Quebec. That gives this city a certain European charm that Montreal just doesn't give, let alone any North American city. Lots of small (but expensive) businesses within the walls and at the lower part of the old city, there are a lot of souvenir shops as well. The core is very walkable and parking is hard to find, so we have parked in a building just beside the provincial legislative building. I'm glad that this site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it deserves that designation. We will always keep on coming back. This city is beautiful in spring, summer, fall, or winter.
