Our favorite city that we visited on the cruise was Quebec City. It's a large metropolitan city with historical buildings that date to the early 1700s. This is a square with buildings all dated to that time. The buildings are stone and some originally had a plaster type coating that has gradually worn away. They are now shops and this is a tourist area close to the ship pier. This is where we hired a bicycle rider who took us through the area.
Through the years I have traveled in many tourist areas throughout the world; most with trinkets and junk for sale at every port. This area was much different with very lovely cafes and high end shops that specialized in leather goods, Canadian designer clothing for men and women and furs. The galleries were elegant with beautiful local art work.
Our guide also took us to the marina that has a lovely skyline view of the city.
