Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site adventure.
Discover the historic splendour of Old Quebec's fortifications.
A jewel of the provincial capital, the Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site is a reminder of the richness of the city's military past. The site takes us back to the French and British regimes when Québec played a deciding role in the defence of the colony. Stroll along the fortification walls, admire the work of highly skilled craftsmen and learn how these defensive works fashioned the city's layout and future growth.
The ideal time to visit the Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site is between May 20 and October 9, when the site is fully operational and the weather is pleasant for outdoor exploration. Winter months can be quite cold, and some activities may be limited, so plan your visit during the warmer seasons for the best experience.
