Description:

Explore the historic landmarks of Old Town’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, then venture out of the city into the countryside, visiting the church at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, the impressive chutes at Montmorency Falls, and the village of Sainte-Pétronille on the Ile-d’Orléans.

Immerse yourself in the modern atmosphere and storied past of Quebec City as you tour the architectural landmarks and historic sights of Old Town. Walk across the cobbled Place Royale, admire the towering Château Frontenac hotel, and watch the changing of the guards in front of the fortified ramparts of La Citadelle.

Admire the Notre Dame de Québec Basilica—the oldest parish in the Americas north of Mexico—and then make your way out of downtown, stopping by the battlefield at the Plains of Abraham before continuing on into the countryside.

Pass by small towns and villages on your way to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This charming hamlet’s basilica has drawn pilgrims seeking the miraculous healing powers of the statue enshrined in its church for centuries.

Next, stop at the thundering Montmorency Falls. At a towering 275 feet (84 m) tall, these powerful cascades are the highest in the province of Quebec and a full 98 feet (30 m) higher than Niagara Falls.

Finally, make your way to Sainte-Pétronille, located on the Ile-d’Orléans in the Saint Lawrence River. Ride by rolling vineyards, visit the village’s chocolate shop, and soak up the rural atmosphere before your return to the city.
