Dufferin Terrace

Terrasse Dufferin

Panoramic boardwalk with river view


Must See

Address:
Place Terrasse Dufferin
Quebec City, QC G1R 4P5

Description

Facing the Château Frontenac, this pleasantly landscaped promenade and boardwalk offers the city's best view of the Saint Lawrence River and Old Quebec. Full of vendors, street performers and scores of visitors in the summer, the boardwalk is also an excellent starting point for touring the rest of the city. Those in search of some exercise can descend the staircase to the Lower Town—others ride the precipitous funicular railway. The spectacular Promenade des Gouverneurs leaves the Terrace to the south, runs beneath the Citadel, and emerges at the Plains of Abraham.
