Capital of the province of Quebec, Quebec City is prominently situated on the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence River. A cliff separates the old city into the lower town and upper town.
In the lower town, the Place-Royal is considered the birthplace of French Canada, where the city was founded 400 years ago. Here, one can view many fine buildings including the Eglise Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, the oldest church in Quebec. The Quartier Petit-Champlain is one of Quebec City's most visited quarters, with winding cobbled streets, artists' shops, boutiques and cafés.
The old quarter of the upper town is surrounded by stonewalls that are a UNESCO world heritage site. Though most of the fortifications are much older, the British built the star-shaped Citadel in the 1800's. The upper town is crowned by the Chateau Frontenac atop Cap-Diamant. The Terrasse Dufferin, a boardwalk in front of the Chateau Frontenac, provides stunning views of the St. Lawrence River.
