Car Hire Quebec City Airport

Quebec City is the capital of the Canadian-French province Quebec. It is the second largest city in that province after Montreal, which is about 200km away. It draws its name from the French meaning ‘to narrow’ which describes the phenomena seen on River St. Lawrence as it narrows down as it enters the city.

In this French territory of Canada are houses a number of attractions which any tourist would love to see. But you first need to be in the city and your fast ticket is connecting a flight from Quebec City Airport. Grab a rental car once you alight and make sure all your hotel details are set. When everything is in check car, it is time to enjoy the beauty of Quebec.

Activities

Being a French territory in Canada, Quebec will definitely have most of its attractions with a touch of “francaise” on them. Here are some places you can pay a visit.

• Lower Town - locally known as Basse-Ville is a great area to stroll. Your rental will have to sit this one out as walking means you enjoy the streets more. There are all sorts of things to see like the ancient Market Hall turned Craft Market, various shopping stalls and a wide range of cafes and restaurants if you like to sample the local cuisine.
• Upper Town - now this is the other side of town which locally is known as Haute-Ville. One thing you will notice about it is the cleanliness in the streets. This is quite the high class area of the town as the restaurants and pubs in this area are Grande and the people are quite posh in their mannerisms. The architecture of buildings is high end and the city walls are pristine. One notices the huge contrast to Old Town immediately you drive in with your Quebec City Airport rental.
• Terrasse Dufferin - quite an elevated area with a priceless panoramic view of the Old Town and River St. Lawrence. If you are a Landscape or Cityscape photographer, you will love photographing from this point. This part of Quebec never goes to sleep and it’s the perfect place to catch street performers in action or take a romantic walk along the cliffs while watching the sunrise or sunset.
• Place Royale - even though Upper Town makes Old Town look like Gotham, Old Town has this attraction to boast off which has no competition whatsoever. This is probably the most beautiful place you will get to before you catch your Quebec City Airport flight back home. It has nice places to walk around and the restaurants serve amazing food.

Quebec City is a gem to Canada and it will be a paradise to you if you get to visit it. Make sure to polish up your French before driving your car rental out of the airport.
