- Quebec City is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec. As of July 2021, the city had a population of 549,459 and the metropolitan area had a population of 839,311 It is the eleventh-largest city and the seventh-largest metropolitan area in Canada. It is also the second-largest city in the province after Montreal. It has a humid continental climate with warm summers coupled with cold and snowy winters.
The Algonquian people had originally named the area Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows", because the Saint Lawrence River narrows proximate to the promontory of Quebec and its Cape Diamant. Explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a French settlement here in 1608, and adopted the Algonquin name. Quebec City is one of the oldest European cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico. This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Québec".
The city's landmarks include the Château Frontenac hotel that dominates the skyline and the Citadelle of Quebec, an intact fortress that forms the centrepiece of the ramparts surrounding the old city and includes a secondary royal residence. The National Assembly of Quebec (provincial legislature), the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.

Hi! How do you think it would be driving and parking in a class B RV in the city? Would it be complicated ?
It looks like Switzerland. What a beautiful city.
Quebec City is better than Switzerland.
What? I did't see anything that reminded me of Switzerland at any point in that video ...
@@pauloferreira8084 Switzerland is way better than all Canada
@@pauloferreira8084it's not,by far
@@rsnankivell1962some buildings looks like in Switzerland or France
Thank you for taking us around in Québec. Love this color tone too
I went there last week, I'm from Virginia and drove up to Canada and went from niagara to Québec city, ive never driven anywhere like downtown Québec... I felt like nothing could hurt me after I left
awesome, historical and safe city.
Just a little and peaceful City. Nice!!!!❤❤❤
Beautiful amazing north american city with a french twist!
How many km to Montreal from Quebec city? How many miles long is Montreal to Quebec City?
162 miles
It's very strange the old town of Quebec looks like some French village, and the rest of the city looks like North American cities. With the famous roads with a double yellow line in the middle so characteristic of North American roads.
How many more traffic lights in Montreal then Quebec City?
I'll be renting a car to drive around Quebec city, just to make it easier to tour around and wow the streets are so narrow, do you find it easier to walk around or drive?
hilariously ringed thereabouts by godawfully commercially anglo signage, imagine..! 💡💡💡
Looks a lot like Paris
Quebec would like it!
It looks like a random French city, not Paris.
Smells a lot better tho
Where are all the nice homes in suburbia? Where are the grocery supercenters, the banks, auto service centers, the fancy restaurants, where can an American get a good steak? Where are the Byrne dairies? Museums? Horticulture gardens? The roads look well kept, the tourist office has some explaining to do.
its once being the federation's 4th largest burg shows, doesn't it
Certain parts remind me of Saint Denis in red dead redemption 2 😂
Wouldn't take much to get lost, in a foreign land, with a different language, currency, where the metric system is used, and it better be in spring or early summer, because damn, winters are brutal.
Surprised how old a lot of it looks.
You could be in a European town or city.
Those two cyclists riding two abreast...
That's illegal here in the U.K.
But...they still do it. 🙄
How backward. They should be promoting cycling.
oof! bizarro intro! no tree whatsoever graceing that introductory portière boulevard..fuck..! *_Il faut que vous vous en souveniez, hein..!_* otherwise, watching Kebek continually being crushed by mere corporateers...
I came from a 3rd world country in the Middle East. I thought Canada is a developed and first-world country like European countries, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, News Land, and Singapore with the western standard, and also I thought is one of the best. The first time 2018 I arrived in Vancouver, I was shocked. I saw a lot of homelessness, trash, crime, ugly urbanism, and rusty houses in downtown and east Vancouver. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022I decided to move to the east coast because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception.
That's Vancouver
not quebec
@@jaylenbrown6696 Hi my friend. so do you think Montreal and Quebec City are better?
@@alborzdmavandi8190 Yep
From experience
Vancouver is interesting to say the least
My experience in quebec was great
Montreal too
@@jaylenbrown6696 Hi brother, so do you mean they are cleaner than Vancouver? Because if your response is yes, it's good news for my family. if it is possible let us know about your experiences in those cities (I mean about cleanness). Thanks for your response.
@@alborzdmavandi8190 You're Welcome!
Though Quebec City is quite expensive, I lived in the Montcalm area for quite some time, Peaceful and calm, though just get some winter equipment ready, There's tons of restaurants near the area such as the Cafe Quebecor par Laurent Godbout, for cheap eats, 5 minutes away is the William J Walter, delicious eats and has a very german sense, I do suggest it
Very dull and washed out looking. A lot better architecture than boring Montreal, but apart from some unique gems, it looks like some old Soviet city or somewhere boring and uninspiring like Sweden.
Sweden is not boring and uninspiring
there is literally zero soviet style archatecture in this video lol
Montreal is not boring
Litterally the opposite of soviet architecture stfu if you've never travelled outside of your little town
@alainouellet7794 There's a lot just outside of the old city, pretty much every provincial gov. building.
