Quebec City

On November 16th we travelled to Quebec City which is the capital of the province of Quebec. Whereas in Montreal we found many contrasts between the old and the new in Quebec we find a picturesque city which was one of the first cities established on the North American continent by the European settlers. 

Arriving in Quebec City during the early evening just before dusk.

Chateau Frontenac Hotel built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company to encourage wealthy tourists to visit Quebec. 






Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America and the only fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still exist. This image we see on top is St. Louis Gate, one of the entrance to the old part of Quebec City. 




Chateau Frontenac Hotel built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company to encourage wealthy tourists to visit Quebec. It was opened in 1893. 








The plains of Abraham are part of the history of Quebec, as well as, a place to see some of the most beautiful views of the city.

Anytime is a good time to go ice skating in Quebec City. People enjoying the snow on a sunny Sunday morning.
