The Chateau Frontenac, the Edifice Price, Old Québec and the basse-ville down by the river. All these give Québec a distinctly European flavour. Couple this with great views of the St Lawrence river, good restaurants at reasonable prices and you have a pleasant place to pass a few days.
We visited the Musee de l'Amerique Francaise and also the tableau depicting the battles for the control of Quebec, highlighting the showdown on the Plains of Abraham between Wolfe and Montcalm.
For tall buildings in Quebec City check this out. We stayed at the Radisson and were able to use Web-TV to check our email - it was fun sending a message from the TV to a friend with a BlackBerry - how times change. I also noted that this blog was correctly formatted for Web-TV.
