Quebec is the most ancient city Canada and be located in the eastern coast, there are approximately 180 Km of Montreal and 700 km of Toronto. Be to the edges of the St. Lawrence river and it has around 500 thousand inhabitants. The temperature is quite varied, when negatives are reaching 40° in the winter and 35° positives in the summer. His historical part is extremely well preserved, where it is possible to admire the beauty of the medieval architecture, be in the castles, cathedrals, houses from stones, villages or in such a famous Citadelle.
In spite of the conservatism, Quebec is a modern city and it conjugates very well his historical side with the cosmopolitan, where it is possible to find shopping centers, great hotels, financial centre, restaurants and lively discotheques to him. The interesting thing is healthy what very quite divided: from a side the present has been and of other, the past... So, while crossing a simple avenue, have the sensation to travel in the time!
In the scenery the beautiful castle Chateau Frontenac points out principally, where today is a 5 star hotel and also, Le Citadelle, the ancient fort that saved the canadians of the english invasions. The whole old part is enclosed by an intact wall and inside her it is possible to observe the most curious monuments, all stuffing of great history. There is still the Funiculaire, sort of deck what offers accepted panoramic limit of the city and of the St. Lawrence river and where also several classic musicians are to touching harps, violins, saxophones and guitar - celo, chanting the background music of the place. The only sensation!
For stranger than it could look, in Quebec just the french is spoken, the official language of the province of the same name, which maintained his french customs along the centuries. The french culture also is everywhere, how in the gastronomy, in the habits and for lack of patience with the tourists.... Unfortunately, not even everything is perfected!
