Not to be missed place. Small shops, cobblestone streets, stone walls, hanging pots… the place has it all. Nice eateries with sit out options. You can also try the rail lift to reach the ramparts for 6 CAD.

Honestly very nice. Never realized that place was there until our first night. The drive there is beautiful, the water, boats, the people being outside and enjoying the day.

Everything at a walkable distance. One of ...

A must visit on your trip to old QC City, amazing location of shops and restos, its get hot so wear sun protection and find shade when you can, this place is as equally amazing in winter, but its very cold in winter!!! Still beautiful :). Weekends they offer entertainment during summer days usually starting around father's day.

This shopping was good. Lots of neat little artisan and touristy shops. Start your day here and then walk up the hill for the rest of the day. Prices are very high for food.
