Welcome to Québec City, and thank you for joining us today. You're about to explore one of the oldest, most historic, and most unique cities in North America — a place where stone walls still surround the city, castle-like rooftops rise above the skyline, and narrow streets can make you forget you're still on this side of the Atlantic. Over the next couple of hours we'll guide you through more than four hundred years of stories. We'll walk past grand landmarks, hidden corners, military fortifications, historic squares, famous monuments, and some of the oldest streets in Canada. We'll begin high above the Saint Lawrence River in Québec's Upper Town, where governments ruled, soldiers defended the city, and incredible views wait around almost every corner. Then we'll gradually make our way down into Lower Town and the charming Petit-Champlain district, where cobblestone streets, cafés, boutiques, and centuries of history create one of the most beloved areas in the city. Along the way you'll discover that Québec City isn't simply old — it's layered. French and British influences, military history, religion, politics, commerce, and everyday life all left their mark here. As always, follow the route on the map for the best experience. If you miss a turn, don't worry — we'll help get you back on track. And one more thing — Québec City was made for wandering. So keep your eyes up, look down the side streets, peek into hidden alleys, and don't be surprised if you find yourself stopping for photos every few minutes. Alright, let's get started and explore the beautiful walled city of Québec.
