Frommer's Favorite Experiences

  • Admire the Skyline from the Lévis Ferry: Approaching the city by car from the south, the ferry provides a grand view for little money. Passengers already in the city can start at the Vieux-Port side, and then stay onboard and come right back without disembarking.

  • Linger at an Outdoor Café: Tables are set out at Place d'Armes in Upper Town, in the Quartier du Petit-Champlain in Lower Town, and along the Grande-Allée -- a quality-of-life invention the French and their Québécois brethren have perfected.

  • Soak Up the Blossoming Lower Town: Once all but abandoned to shipping and grimy industry, the old riverside neighborhood of Basse-Ville/Vieux-Port has been reborn, with antiques shops, bistros, and boutique hotels filling its rehabilitated 18th- and 19th-century buildings.

  • Relax in Battlefields Park (Parc des Champs-de-Bataille): This park is beautifully situated, overlooking the St. Lawrence River, and is particularly lively on weekends, when families and lovers come to picnic and play.
