Quebec city day 3

Started the day walking on the fort walls which basically goes round the old city, great views as you will see from the pics! Walking round near the hotel Frontenac were all these lovely little streets with gorgeous old houses i am sure they are extremely pricey due to the location.
From the Place d'Armes which is the main square just in front of the hotel, i walked north to visit the Basilique-Cathedrale Notre Dame de Quebec, gorgeous cathedral and the altar is a gilded replica of St Peters in Rome.

The ceilings are spectacular to.
Moving on from all the lovely architecture, i firstly used the miniature FREE electric bus, which is great and just circulates the old city and you can get on and off at specific places.

Secondly i jumped on the ferry over to Levis, which is an attractive Victorian town, but the main reason for the trip was the view of Old Quebec and it wasn't disappointing!Spent some time round the shops as you will see i found some interesting stuff and finally my last night at the hostel, had dinner in the garden, very pleasant!


Quebec is great i would highly recommend it to anybody who loves old architecture, its a delight!
