Self-Guided Walking Tours in Canada

1 free self-guided walking tour, with an audio guide at every stop.

Old Québec is the only walled city north of Mexico and the historic district is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608, its upper and lower towns still follow the plan of a French colonial capital.

Our self-guided walk starts on Dufferin Terrace above the St Lawrence, crosses Place d'Armes to the Notre-Dame de Québec basilica-cathedral, then drops to the Petit-Champlain quarter and Place Royale, where the settlement began. About 45 minutes and 2 km.

The walk is free and needs no app: open it on your phone and the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
