It looks like Europe (Maybe France? ;))

mmm the skyline??

I imagined that Quebec is way smaller :) Now i see that it's big enough ;) Thanks :cool:

This looks like a really huge village. You have so much space over there in Canada. There is no skyline whatsoever however. The only thing slightly comparable in the Netherlands should be a hybrid between Almere en Apeldoorn (which, of course, doesn't exist)

Hm...still a rather low-rise city to be honest. 6.5/10. ;)

4.5/10 not much of a skyline city.

6/10


awesome city, but not much a skyline

9/10 for old buildings
4/10 for modern buildings
Overall 6.5/10

The only Canadian city i know which is rather a low rise city ...

7/10

nice quebec, 7

is chateau frontnac qualified as a skyscraper?

yeah they really should either knock down or reclad those brutalist nightmares that do absolutely nothing for this city other than make it look depressing when it could be stunning

5/10

for skyline

I see red x's

But I've been to Quebec many times.
8.5

I cant see any of the pics other than the first post, so i dont know if this pic has been seen already:

i LUV THE CITY.

10 from me.

beautiful buidlings, that alone makes teh skyline worth looking at. 6.5/10

very historic city 8 from me

It may be historic and nice and all, but the skyline is pretty lousy. I give it a 6.5/10.

Looks like a very nice historic city! 7.5/10. Interesting skyscrapers there!

France in america. Quebec city rocks, the most elegant city in north america.

great place to live 8/10

Beautiful old world buildings! But the skyline is average.

Pictures given by Hillis are amazing !

10/10

Bonjour tout la monde!! La Ville le Quebec est étonnant. J'adore cette ville!!
L'horizon a besoin de encore plus d'améliorations, mais qui s'inquiète vraiment? S'il a encore plus de gratte-ciel, c'est très bien, mais pour une ville comme ceci, je ne s'inquiètent pas de la qualité de gratte-ciel. Avec ce être une non-issue avec les bâtiments grands, cette ville est plus de la marque historique européenne, parfois une culture Français-Canadienne, qui est plus comme elle de toute façon, avec un bon nombre de gens francophones. Autrement, avec la ville étant historique, c'est un endroit merveilleux à être dedans. Le secteur de touristes est au proche avant le fleuve de rue Laurent, près du Chateau Frontnac. Je voudrais aller chercher en arrière encore plus voyageant, quelle ville. Le manque de gratte-ciel, et ce n'est pas une grande ville ou ne je disent le secteur. 8/10

The skyline needs some more improvements, but who really cares? If it dies have some more skyscrapers, that is fine, but for a city like this, I don't care about the skyscraper quality. With this being a non-issue with tall buildings, this city is more of the European Historical brand, sometimes a French-Canadian culture, which is more like it anyways, with lots of Francophone people. Otherwise, with the city being historic, it is a wonderful place to be in. The tourist area is at the front near the St. Lawrence River, close to the Chateau Frontnac. I would want to go back for some more touring, what a city. Lack of skyscrapers, and this isn't a big city or shall I say area. 8/10

beautifull!!

Nice city with a poor skyline, 7.5/10

Although it may not be the biggest or best looking skyline, it is indeed the most unique.

One of the most unique in North America.

The most European-looking city of the continent I think. It looks très adorable! The chateau is very huge and gives the city a medieval skyline.

I give the skyline a 6,5/10 but I'd give the city itself an 8/10.

nicest city ive been to in north america

10/10 for the city

5/10 for the skyline

wow , where are skyscapres , what a pretty city but , you make a mistake , it is a website for beautfule skyscrapers :p ( it's joke ) , but there is no real skyline in this city !!

Francophone--- Making a copy from France, faked Canada. 3/10.

beautiful city doesn't have to have a big skyline or skyscrapers... I've been there twice and I want to visit again.. what a nice city!!

Amazing city! Skyline isn't impressive, but the city is stunning!

7/10

Not much of a skyline, but the city is beautiful. 5/10

very nice city! 10!

I'll give it a 7..it's not really wow but i think the city has other features that really get the attention..anyway here's one of my personal pix..during early summer from a boat on Saint Laurent river

8/10- i've actually been there. it's very nice and european. i love the castle.

10, one of my favourite cities in America.

6.5/10 There's almost no skyline but i'm sure its a nice place.

5/10

True... not much of a highrise skyline as it is a very small city,but I give it full marks for being so beautiful. The most beautiful town in Canada!

ya thers just sumthing special about quebec i really liked that city... not much of a skyline tho

Francophone--- Making a copy from France, faked Canada. 3/10.

Yes!! 3/10 Let's keep in mind the city has ONLY existed since 1608!

4/10 - acceptable, but neither tall nor dense.


Actually, its pretty dense for a North American city. I know, I lived there over the summer, as well as in Chicoutimi in Northern Quebec. These pics on here are great but they don't do it justice! Just for its history and beautiful buildings, I give it a 9.0/10.

Québec looks like french cities in Britanny, like Cancale or Dinan (old streets of course).
And I think historical cities have skylines, so 8/10.

Yes!! 3/10 Let's keep in mind the city has ONLY existed since 1608!

Yes!! Yes!! What a gross little town made up of shacks and huts

i belevie he was talking about the skyline itself not being tall or dense, not the city.

i think its nice - 7.5/10

It looks nice but not that good in terms of height density and buildings.BUt the old buildings bring Quebec up to a 6/10.

Beautiful city! I never realized how hilly it was. I thought it was actually was flat... but then again, I've never been there.

I give it an 8... Skyline sucks, but the Chateau makes it up.

8/10

10/10

quebec city sacrificed the height of the moder buildings to preserve its heritage. so 9.5

7/10

The historic buildings are awesome but the modern stuff is tasteless.

Quebec is amazing! The Chateau Frontenac adds more to the skyline than any skyscraper ever could

Great architecture!

Yes, Quebec City is one gorgeous place!

Looks like Disneyland!

5/10. Where's the skyline. All the above pics show buildings, and low rise ones at that. The 8/10s are not appropriate for this city's skyline.

The skyline is great due to the Chateau Frontenac not due to it's few skyscrapers............but then who cares when you are in such an incredibly beautiful, romantic and enchanting city.
The street scene, attitude, grace, beauty all make it an incredibly magical place.

8/10

for the chateau and the historic district alone, i'll give this city a 10/10.

Nice architecture though not much of modern tall buildings. It seems it is a nice city.

10/10

8.5/10
I simply love the heritage area.

Absolutely gorgeous city, one of the prettiest in North America I love it!

Quebec ces´t trés beaux et la seconde plus important ville de Canada français.

this is the absolute, most beautiful city in all of north America. hands down. there is no other city on our continent that has the outright, slap you in the lips, wonderland of a city. outstanding to say the least. imo, it give any of the old word cities a big ol run for their historical looks. i just cant see any other north American city having the old world charm that this place oozes. while it may not have the skyscrapers as the other top cities in canada and the USA, it makes up for them by having tall old buildings. for that i give it a perfect ten.

btw. it should be mentioned, if it hasn't been already, that this is the oldest city in all of North America.

Quebec City is nice, but is not even the oldest city in Canada, let alone the oldest in North America (no matter your definition of North America).

:ancient:one of the, but the way i see it Mexico city is hardly north America. geographically it looks more like central America. after that, it would be the oldest if you consider the fact that it was a real actual city before the others, such as Halifax. they where fishing villages while it was an actual city. which makes it the oldest continually, existing city and not settlement. what i mean is, it was a city and they where not. how long was it a city compared to how long they were considered cities. with that in mind, it would in fact be the oldest city. if you go the other way, it would be like saying a place that had existed for 400 yrs as a town, but as of 6 months ago it finally reaches city status, it would then be the oldest city in canada. NIMO. i would still rightfully consider Quebec to be the oldest s city. it may be that i am completely wrong. but i may be right as well when you consider my arguments. now i have to go because my :madwife: wants me to take here to the fair for some of their awful:eat: so good night and i will catch shit :storm: from you latter, k.

North America includes Central America and the Caribbean where many cities were established by the Spanish long before Quebec City, but even if you want to limit yourself to Canada and the USA, Quebec City isn't the oldest city (founded by Europeans). Its founding date of 1608 was later than St Augustine, Florida (1565) and Santa Fe, New Mexico (1607). I know you didn't mean "city" in a legal sense but Quebec City wasn't incorporated until the 1830s (fifty years after St John's became the first in Canada). It is not even the oldest continuously occupied settlement founded by the French, as that honour goes to Tadoussac. Even if you wanted to claim that Quebec City was founded with the Cartier settlement of 1541 (later abandoned), St John, Newfoundland was founded in 1497.

So again, it's nice and it's old, it's just not "oldest".

after that, it would be the oldest if you consider the fact that it was a real actual city before the others, such as Halifax. they where fishing villages while it was an actual city.

Halifax was never a fishing village, while St. John's hasn't been one for centuries. ;)
