I'm travelling to Old Quebec City in May with my fiancee to spent a week, What should we do, visit, sight-see, and good places to eat and scenic roads.

Thanks in advance

you should post in the rennsport section (that is where the Quebecers like to hang out). Try some cheese.

Thank you for the suggestion

Take the ferry to Levis and head back. One of the nicest view of Quebec is from the other side of the St-Lawrence river.

Rue du petit Champlain and almost every part of the fortified town has some action. (Rue St-Paul, Côte de la montagne , Rue St-Jean, rue St-Louis / Grande-Allée).

Ciel is a revolving restaurant on the top of a building and offer a great view and nice eating.

St-Amour restaurant is pretty much on the top of my list for french cuisine. It's expensive but worth it!

Old Quebec is maybe the best walking city in the country. You can just stroll for hours and enjoy the shops. There are lots of really bad, overpriced restaurants that cater to the tourist crowd, just like any tourist city. The food at the Chateau Frontenac is terrible - overpriced and bland, at least for lunch, coffee and late night snacks (never had a proper dinner there). But hit up the lounge for a couple drinks - it's worth the price just for the view.

Can't recall if it's running at that time of year but there is a free Cirque de Soleil show down by the waterfront that shouldn't be missed. As others also said there is lots of activity in the old part of the city - great location to walk around and soak in the atmosphere as well as just pick the odd Cafe or restaurant to eat at. I recommend Aux Anciens Canadiens if you want to try some traditional Quebec tortierre.

There's a lot to see in the area and a great drive going east. You can stop off at Montmorency Falls, drive along the little highway that borders Hwy 20/40? If you have the time , continue east through the Charlevoix area and stop in at the Fairmont Manoir Richelieu (a grand hotel & casino in the Chateau Frontenac style). Lots to enjoy.

Old Quebec City's hottest club is Taste. Nightlife designer Tranny Griffith is back with the all new club that answers the question, “HUHHH? Don’t look for a bouncer, there isn’t one. Instead, the door is guarded by ten jacked homeless guys in old fashioned bathing suits.And inside is just sick... ice sculpture, winos, Gurmfs (German Smurfs), a teddy ruxpin wearing mascara, an old lady with kitten play-hair, and none other than DJ Baby Bok Choy… He’s a giant 300 lbs Chinese baby who wears tinted aviator glasses and he spins records with his little ravioli hands.

I took my son there a few years ago for vacation. Thought he might be bored but he had a blast.
He decided that during the zombie apocalypse the city and citadel would be very defendable

He walked around the entire thing planning his strategy.

If you have time drive up to Tadoussac and go Whale Watching. Quebec City and the area is our favourite vacation spot.

My gf insisted we spend a weekend in Quebec City last summer and I thought it was going to be boring.. However I actually had a really good time! Great restaurants and lots to see/do. I suggest afternoon tea at Chateau Frontenac, dinner at Le Saint-Amour and maybe another at Toast! I would avoid anything on Grand Allee as it just seemed "over done" Everyone was friendly, well maybe not the people at the hotel who seemed all miserable.

Hotel du Vieux Quebec is a small, reasonably-priced boutique hotel in a perfect location. Trip Advisor ranks it 4/104 hotels.

From there, try the Tours Voir Quebec walking tour. The guides are outstanding! The hotel desk staff can set it up.

Tournebroche restaurant is right next door - quite good food, very casual atmosphere.

If you're heading out for a drive, head NE out of the city on Hwy 138. Detour North past Parc du Mont Ste-Anne on 360, and back to 138 to Baie-Saint-Paul. A very pretty little boutiquey town with great scenic views to stop at along the way..

Someone above suggested Tadoussac. It is a great destination but really warrants an overnight stay there. Check the Baie-Sainte-Catherine ferry schedule so you don't wait too long. http://www.quebecmaritime.ca/en/comp...transportation

There's lots more to see and do; I'll let some local experts chime in.
