St. Lawrence Estuary
The massive expanse of the river where freshwater meets the salt tides of the Atlantic.
Charlevoix Massif
Dramatic cliffs and mountains on the north shore, part of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Île d'Orléans
The 'Garden of Quebec,' featuring historic farmhouses and neat rows of orchards in the river.
Château Frontenac
A world-class view of the world's most photographed hotel and the fortified Old City.
Quebec Bridges
A bird's-eye view of the Pont de Québec and Pont Pierre-Laporte just before touchdown.
Sit on the right for the definitive Quebec experience. In the morning, the sun illuminates the North Shore cliffs perfectly. During the descent, the plane usually flies south of the city, meaning the right side looks directly across the water at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and the Citadelle.
