La Citadelle de Québec

(Attractions & Activities - History Museums)

1, côte de la Citadelle, Québec G1R 4V7 • 418-694-2815

Distance: ~0.714 km from Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

Description: The number one visited site in Québec boasts a working fort, a museum (visitors must be part of a group with reservations) and the highly popular Changing of the Guard. The origins of Québec's Citadelle go back as far as the War of 1812, when the Duke of Wellington ordered its construction in anticipation of renewed hostilities with US forces. Today, the 25-plus buildings that comprise the Citadelle make it one of the largest North American forts still occupied by troops. One-hour tours of the grounds are offered daily. Hours and ceremonies are seasonal.
