The Saint Lawrence River seen from Quebec City: the most beautiful views and how to enjoy them
The Saint Lawrence is the soul of Quebec City. This majestic river, the largest in Canada, is omnipresent in the city's life. A guide to the best views and activities related to the river.
The Saint Lawrence in Quebec City
The Saint Lawrence River is 800 meters from Carrera Café. Its presence dominates the city's visual landscape: from Terrasse Dufferin, from the Lower Town, from the Old Port. In summer, its waters shine under the sun. In winter, its ice creates lunar landscapes. In autumn, the foliage of Cap Diamant is reflected in its calm waters.
At Carrera Café, we are just minutes from the river. But you can also see its reflection in the eyes of our returning, amazed customers.
