Best places to visit in Quebec
Quebec City is one of the most visited cities in Canada and for good reason. It has so much to offer tourists. The city center is beautiful and full of history as well as culture that makes it worth visiting on its own merits alone. But there are also many other attractions nearby that are worth seeing while you’re there including the Plains of Abraham National Park and Museum which features exhibits about both French Canadian history and Native American culture as well as a garden area where you can sit down on a bench amidst plants grown by local gardeners who use traditional methods such as composting or raised beds instead of chemicals when growing their crops so they can enjoy healthy green spaces without having to worry about harmful runoff entering waterways around town which would lead down into Lake Ontario eventually causing harm downstream if not stopped early enough

Named in honour of Lord Dufferin, a governor general of Canada who loved Québec City, the terrace is so eternally popular that it has been expanded twice since it was first built. While you’re there, hit up another historic site: the remains of the Saint‑Louis Forts and Châteaux, which lie beneath this iconic promenade.The Ramparts and GatesDid you know that Québec is the only walled city north of Mexico?

Built by the British between 1820 and 1850 to defend the city, the Citadelle is a remarkable military heritage site and home to the Musée Royal 22e Regiment, where you can learn all about the history of the regiment and the fortress.
