Visitor’s Guide for Travellers and Digital Nomads
The capital of Québec and one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Famous for the historical architecture and the fortress enclosure of Old Québec. While English is spoke in the historic centre, French is essential most jobs and daily life.
Surrounded by rolling mountains and a rugged terrain, Québec City offers great recreation opportunities to explore the coast. Outdoor activities are within a short distance thanks to Québec City’s small size. Cold winters are offset by many ski resorts within a short driving distance and Christmas markets and festivals. Best known is the Québec Winter Carnival. Québec City has a robust economy but a proficiency in French is required for all public facing jobs.
