Edit: Let me rephrase that... Quebec City doesn't compare to anything else in North America, period. Both skyline and street level.
Agreed!

Ever seen something so beautiful that it made you cry? This video did it for me:

Gotta say I'm impressed with the Québec City tourism board, they have some pretty cool videos in their youtube page.

Edit: I just noticed that they developed an app, and it looks pretty good. Amazing!

When I saw this picture, I understood why Alfred Hitchcock chose Quebec City as the setting for one of his films.

Great shot. Despite the absense of the ubiquitous Chateau Frontenac. Really gives a sense of the old/new, upper/lower, etc. in QC, one of my favorite cities.

That first photo shows off the elegance and grandeur of Montreal so well. It's still the gold standard for me in Canada despite other cities taking the lead when it comes to new construction.

Completely agree. It illustrates how the topography greatly influenced the development of the city.

Massive Version (warning - may crash your old crappy computer)



Aura, One Bloor, U Condos, Five Condos, St. Nicholas Condos, Karma, X2, Massey Tower and many more will be filling in all that space between the CBD and Yorkville (on the far right).
