Quebec City: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Old Quebec

This self-guided audio walk explores the historic heart of Quebec City and is ideal for first-time visitors, history lovers, and travelers curious about the city’s French and British layers. You follow the route at your own pace while the narration points out what to notice around you, from stone streets and public squares to grand civic landmarks. The walk begins in Haute-Ville, the Upper Town of Old Quebec, where fortified streets and stately buildings set the scene. From there, you continue to Place d'Armes, a leafy square framed by major landmarks, then pause at the Monument Samuel-De Champlain, which honors the city’s founder. The route carries you onto Dufferin Terrace, the long boardwalk perched above the St. Lawrence River, before turning inland toward Rue D'Youville and the Morrin Centre, a striking former prison that later became a center of English-language culture. The tour ends at the Quebec City Mural in the lower part of Old Quebec, where a huge painted wall brings centuries of local history into one vivid scene. Along the way, the most memorable moments include river views from the terrace, the contrast between military walls and elegant public spaces, and the chance to stand before a mural that feels like an open-air history book.
