Place Royale owes its existence to King Louis XIV of France. As you drive by this landmark, you'll hear all about this king and his unusual contributions to the city of Quebec.
Stop at: Rue du Trésor
Old Quebec, perched on the heights of the city, looks like it belongs in the historic cities of Europe rather than anywhere in the New World. Cobbled streets, stone facades, and old fortifications define this one-of-a-kind district.
Pass by: City Hall of Quebec City
This impressive city hall combines the architectural styles of second empire and chateau, both of which were popular during the late 1800s.

Pass by: Fortifications of Quebec National Historic Site
As you drive, you'll cruise along the city's impressive stone fortifications. Dating back to the 1820s, these walls were the main reason UNESCO designated Quebec as a World Heritage Site.
Pass by: Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral
While this building only dates back to 1923, the church that gathers here has roots all the way back in 1647. Fascinatingly, the current cathedral features a door blessed by Pope Francis himself in 2014.
Pass by: Cathedral of the Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity is the first Anglican church built outside the British Isles. It's also one of the only churches in Quebec that has never burnt down.

Pass by: Parliament Building

Pass by: The Citadelle of Québec
From the Plaines d'Abraham, you'll be able to see The Citadelle, a striking fortress dating back to the 1820s, when Quebec officials feared an attack by the United States. It's a fascinating bit of history and an impressive structure to boot!
Pass by: Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec
Home to over 38,000 works of art, the Musée de Beaux Arts is a must-see spot for any art lovers. The art spans from the 17th century to the modern day, depicting a comprehensive look at Quebec's artistic history.
Pass by: Terrasse Grey
Terrasse Grey, which you'll pass along your drive, may not look like much more than a pleasant field, but it's actually the site of a pitched battle between the English and the French in the 18th century.
