Quebec City is the second largest city in Quebec (after Montreal of course). It’s one of my favourites cities to visit whether I’m there for a day, a week, or even a month.

How Long Do You Need In Quebec City?
Quebec City is small – well the touristy part is anyway. But they pack a ton of activities in such a small space. You can easily spend a day exploring the city on the surface – finding the best views and just wandering through the cobblestone streets.
Like I said though, there are a TON of smaller, more hidden activities in the city. So, if you have extra time, you’ll never bored in for a second in Quebec City.
For the main attractions though, a day to three days is a good amount of time to see everything you want.
How To Get To Quebec City
Quebec City is a pretty well connected city.
There’s an airport, train, and bus station. You can also drive to the city, or if you’re in Montreal you can go on an organized tour.
Where To Stay In Quebec City
The city is literally made up of just hotels – no seriously, I don’t think anyone lives in Old Town.
I’ve visited Quebec City and stayed in a few places over the years, here are my recommendations.
If you’re on a budget but want to stay in the city centre, there’s no better place than Au Petit Hotel (see it on Booking.com). It’s a small but mighty hotel and for a night or two it gets the job done! Plus, you’ll feel like you’re staying in old time Quebec when you stay here!
I’ve also stayed just outside Old Quebec at the Hilton Québec. If you’re going to stay here, you have to upgrade your room to one with a view. This way, you’ll have floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Chateau Frontenac, plus you’ll have all the luxuries of staying in a hotel. It’s not far from Old Town either, only about a 5 minute walk. See it on Booking.com.
I’ve also heard only good things about the Clarendon Hotel in Old Town Québec. It’s be a bit pricier than Au Petit Hotel, but it’s also a more regular size hotel room. Plus, this is THE location to be in Quebec City. See availability and room rates on Booking.com.

Charlottetown, Summerside, and Cavendish are the three main cities to stay in on Prince Edward Island.
These are the top hotels in each city. Plus, I also found some one of a kind hotels on Prince Edward Island if you’re interested (like a rotating apartment, or even a lighthouse).
