Québec City

November 18, 2006

Two weekends ago, Desiree and I spent a chilly, but memorable long weekend in Québec City where we bought two Quebec City Museum Cards for $40 each and visited several museums in the Old City:

  1. Musée du Fort
  2. Québec Wax Museum
  3. Musée de la civilisation
  4. Château Frontenac
  5. Musée de l’Amérique française
  6. Traverse Québec-Lévis
For museum fans, the Museum Card is a pretty good deal. Each card allows you to visit 23 different museums over three days and includes two public transit day passes, each worth $5.40. On weekends, each day pass lets two passengers ride, so our four passes effectively allowed us to travel for three days.

Our first night in the Québec capital, we had a comfortable stay at Auberge Michel Doyon. For our second night, wanting to be nearer to the Old City, we decided to stay in a private room at the Auberge Internationale de Québec, a very clean and secure hostel just inside the stone walls of the Old City. Of the many hostels in which I stayed in Europe, Ottawa, and the Atlantic provinces, the hostel in Québec City ranked as one of the best.
