As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this historic neighbourhood is guarded to this day by Fortifications of Quebec and the Citadel. There are several beautiful churches established in previous centuries to explore including the stunning Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the Notre-Dame-de-Québec Basilica-Cathedral, the Jesuits Chapel, and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Enjoy elegant restaurants and boutiques celebrating French Canadian cuisine and culture. Make sure you do not leave the province without trying the classic French fries dish, poutine. Vegetarians note that the gravy is often made from animal stock, so be sure to check with your server for options.
