The Quebec City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings: where to find poutine and tourtière without tourist-strip prices, which museums and ramparts deserve your time, how to keep children warm and happy in the snow, and where locals drink once they leave the walls for Rue Saint-Jean and Saint-Roch. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or do and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Le Lapin Sauté
52 Rue du Petit Champlain, Lower Town
A small candle-lit room in Petit-Champlain where rabbit is the star, cooked five ways from poutine to pot pie. There are no more than 20 seats. From the food guide.
Dufferin Terrace
Upper Town, below the Château
A boardwalk high above the St. Lawrence with the finest free view in the city: the river, Lévis on the far bank and drifting ice in winter. Open around the clock, with street performers in the evening. From the things to do guide.
Hôtel de Glace
Valcartier, 30 min by car
A hotel made fresh every winter from snow and ice, with carved rooms, an ice bar and an ice slide. It stays around -4°C inside, so it suits school-age children better than babies. From the family guide.
From the game to the guides
World City Trail’s Quebec City scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. The guides carry on from there: a crêpe on Rue Saint-Jean, the view from Dufferin Terrace, a frozen waterfall at Montmorency or a beer in Saint-Roch as the evening starts.
