Lower Town of Old Québec

27 Rue Sous le Fort, Québec, QC G1K 4G6, Canada

One of the best ways to experience Québec City is to wander the streets of its historic heart, the Upper and Lower Towns. More than 400 years of history have unfolded here since it was founded in 1608 by Samuel Champlain. We can arrange for a guide to take you to historic sites like Parliament Hill and the city’s fortifications, as well as the new restaurants and shops that make the area not a museum but a living city. (If you choose to explore on your own, ViveCité's self-guided tours can be found at the website below.)
