Quebec City is a unique place in America: it mixes elements of First Nations legacy and modern North American culture without leaving aside European influence. In fact, from the charming Old Quebec area emerged what is known today as French America. If you want to know more about this destination, check out this Essential Free Tour of Quebec City. Walking with a local guide, you will explore the best landmarks of this 400-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site and, at the same time, understand local history. You will learn why the strategic cliff-top location over St. Lawrence River attracted settlers since the early 17th-century, making Quebec City one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas.

Your Essential Free Tour of Quebec City will cover the best cultural and natural highlights in the area. The Plains of Abraham are a good example of the natural wonders of Quebec. It consists of a long stretch of green mountains where you can go skiing and sledding at certain times of the year. The green landscapes that blend in with the city can also be found in Parliament Hill, a wonderful natural environment adorned by a beautiful forest, whose image is duplicated in the Ottawa River. There you can find the stunning Gothic revival Parliament building. Going down to the Plains of Abraham you will find a military fort of great historical value called La Citadelle, the oldest military building in Canada!

During the tour, you'll learn that Quebec is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, and explore how the city has become a modern metropolis. The quaint Petit Champlain district, home to Canada's oldest shops still in operation, is a charming area that will offer visitors plenty of photo opportunities. And finally, to get to know the most majestic area of the city, your group might explore the Palais de Justice and Notre-Dame de Quebec. These buildings stand out not only in the city, but throughout the country; they create a contrast between the most accelerated American advances and European architectural teachings.
