Founded more than 400 years ago and the oldest city in Canada, Québec City has a lot to offer traveling history buffs. So, where should you go to learn more? These are some of the best history museums to visit in Québec City.
Museum of Civilization
Located right in the city’s historic hub, Museum of Civilization features a range of exhibitions that touch on Québec’s history and those of the Indigenous nations that came before colonization. Other exhibitions rotate and touch on social and timely topics.
Citadelle of Québec
Part-museum, part-active military installation, Citadelle of Québec can’t be missed. In fact, the museum is visible throughout much of downtown. Called “the Gibraltar of the Americas” and containing hundreds of years of history, it’s a traveler favorite, but do note you will need to reserve a guided tour in order to visit.
The Plains of Abraham Museum
The Plains of Abraham and Des Braves Park combine to create Battlefields Park, the site of several major battles. The parks are home to green spaces and gardens, but also Plains of Abraham Museum, which offers exhibits on the site’s history, important battles and more.
