Quebec City is North Americas only walled city and well deserves its UNESCO World Heritage Site title. The Old Town ‘Vieux Quebec’ was built by the French during the 17th century and is an intriguing maze of narrow cobbled streets, 17th and 18th-century stone houses, picturesque parks and beautiful churches.

Description
You can spend your days exploring the intriguing boutiques and enjoying romantic lunches in the many bistros that line the streets. You should head to Dufferin Terrace to take in the breath-taking vistas of St Lawrence River and the impressive Château Frontenac, which stands majestically above the old town. The cities nightlife is also just and enticing, with chic bars and a wealth of exciting dining options.
The city abounds with historical treasures. The Citadelle should be top of your list of where to visit, it is North America’s largest fort, and construction was started by the French in the 1750s, but it was the British who completed it around 100 years later. Another must see is Battlefields Park, or the ‘Plains of Abraham’ as it’s also known. This is the site of the infamous ‘Battle of Quebec’ where the French were forced to surrender Canada to the British. Today it’s a verdant park, ideal for a peaceful walk to take in the scenic vistas and the occasional ornamental cannons. Other historic sites include Artillery Park and the Place Royale.
There’s more culture too with its museums, galleries and cathedrals. The most notable is the city’s famous Cathedral-Basilica of Notre Dame. The two most popular museums are the Musee de la Civilisation and the Musee National des Beaux-Arts du Quebec. The Parliament Building is an intriguing building, that’s worth exploring.
This is the largest French speaking region outside France and it’s also Canada’s largest province, so if you’re visiting Canada you really should spend a few nights in this enchanting city.

Very professional service. Michelle a friendly member of the team answered my query within a few hours and also gave me alternatives for the accommodation. She also held the flights for a few days so I could discuss the quote with my family, I didn't feel pressurised to commit straight away.

We have recently returned from the advertised eShores multi-centre city break to Prague, Vienna and Budapest. We had a fabulous time and are very grateful to Dave Felton who organised everything for us. We didn't have to worry about booking any of it ourselves, as Dave arranged the flights, transfers, hotels and train tickets for us. He responded quickly to our queries and he also gave us tips about places we might like to see on our trip. We received all the information we needed in good time, and appreciated the additional details that eShores include, for example, telephone numbers for transfers and details of exactly where to find the driver at the airport, contact details for the hotels, and advice on travel.
