going to Quebec city in a couple of weeks. Just looking for some interesting places to go and a nice hotel. Any tips will help. We are interested in seeing old Quebec where the fortress is and cobble stone streets. We wanted to do a carriage ride around old Quebec, can you reserve this ahead of time?

Many good hotels ,just make sure that you book one within easy walking distance of historic Old Québec.
Walk to the boardwalk in front of the Frontenac. It looks closed for repairs, but it’s open. There you will find the Ice Slide. $2 a head, pay at the bottom grab a big Sled and haul it to the top. 4 people per sled. Best $2 you will spend all weekend. Those suckers really move, encourage screaming. Then walk down the Breakneck stairs--have some food , shop then take the Funiculaire back up.
There are a couple of outdoor ice rinks. One is just inside the outer wall in front of the Parliament. But there is another one just in front of the Marriott Courtyard they have music playing and they rent skates. It is only a few steps from a couple of Pubs.
.
The multimedia show "Quebec Experience" is a quick 40-minute historical journey of Quebec City. It is 3 D + and worth the few dollars (before you go in have a drink at the Ice Bar out front). It is located in the Promenades du Vieux-Québec, 8 rue du Trésor, second floor. (Every other showing is in English)
The Observatoire de la Capitale,is $4 a head. Top floor of the tallest building in Quebec city, an observation tower that offers stunning views of Québec City and the surrounding area, including the St. Lawrence River and historic Old Québec. What’s good about this tower is that after you’ve been up there and looked down at everything, getting around becomes much easier because you now understand your surroundings Great view of the Old Fort, most of the walled city, Frontenac, Parliament, several hotels Hilton, Delta etc. www.observatoirecapitale.org
Many horse carriages, no need to reserve.
A ten minute car ride from downtown will take you to The Parc Aquarium du Québec www.sepaq.com/aquarium.
Polar Bears. Seals, Walrus. Giagantic gish tank and many other things. If you are in town on Sunday, go there for Brunch, a great buffet of great food for only a few dollars over regular admisson.
There is a great Art Museum down in the lower part of the old town. I forget the name of it, but it is very nice.

Quebec city yet i do not fairly be conscious of if i'd like a franchise to go back in both city. i love the marketplace spread out more advantageous. I hate markets the position their personal locals strongly help a rival crew and that i'd anticipate that in both cities... and it should be worse in Quebec the position virtually everybody loves the Habs. also that city is so small and has little English media.... a extreme promoting difficulty with that for obtrusive causes. i'd somewhat Winnipeg get one than Quebec city.

Any budget concern?
There's the ice burg type of hotel that supposed to be a really amazing experience. And I have heard people's comments that it is really warm inside so don't worry about getting froze.
The city is beautiful and you'll find lots to do. The carriage ride should be around within the city points but wait...it's winter there right now, I do not think they are in operation at this time of the year. I remember seeing them in summer only though.
Feel free to check the official website of Quebec city.

If your a near the '' Grande-hallée'' you are near everything. This street is full of clubs and Restaurants. I recommand you Palace Royal Hôtel, that's a nice hotel in the old quebec..!! and you have to see the Château Frontenac ( very nice )! Good Restaurant : Au parmesan ( near Cĥâteau Fontenac) and La Pizzeria D'youville( St-jean Street) St-jean street is the street for shopping..and If you have ice skates, go to place d'Youville in the evening for ice skating..so romantic!!! ....You will love quebec..:) if you don't know what to do and see in Quebec...people will help you for sure:) we are nice people!!!!!! have a nice trip !!

To really take advantage of it you should spoil yourself a little and stay at the Chateau Frontenac - it's absolutely beautiful!! I stayed there once, it's right in the middle of old Quebec, GORGEOUS!!
