The Old Quebec district is a historic neighborhood located in Quebec City, Canada. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest settlements in North America, dating back to the early 1600s.
The Old Quebec district is known for its charming cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and scenic views of the St. Lawrence River. The neighborhood is divided into two parts: the Upper Town and the Lower Town. The Upper Town is located on a hill and is home to many of the city's historic landmarks, including the Château Frontenac, the Citadel, and the Ursuline Convent. The Lower Town, located along the river, has a more bohemian feel, with narrow streets lined with boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
Some of the most popular attractions in the Old Quebec district include the Place Royale, the oldest public square in North America, the Quartier Petit Champlain, a pedestrian street lined with shops and cafes, and the Dufferin Terrace, a boardwalk with stunning views of the river and the city. The district is also home to numerous museums, galleries, and cultural institutions, such as the Musée de la civilisation and the Quebec City Museum of Fine Arts.
Overall, the Old Quebec district is a charming and picturesque neighborhood that offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and culture. It is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Quebec City.
