parliament building (hotel du parlement)

I stayed at the hotel directly across from Parliament building and never actually made it inside. Only got to enjoy the beautiful building from the outside as we had visited during Christmas time and i'm sure all the politicians were not in session anyways. Gorgeous on the outside though (and i believe this was where the gunman shot the guards a few weeks before i made my trip)? if you only get to see the outside of the building, that is a magnificent sight in itself.

The tour is very interesting and the guides are very knowledgable. But my favorite part of this visit was having lunch in the main dining room. The service was a little rude at first, showing concerns with the size of my wife's puRae. While it was more than we would normally spend on lunch, the food was delicious and the overall ambiance makes this a must.

Interesting , historic. Take the tour to get details explained. Guides are quite knowledgeable, friendly and speak both English and French.

This place draws the maximum tourists in the city. Located atop a hillock in Quebec City, you can see and observe the beauty of French architecture at its best! This is a must visit place! Goes best when visited with the family!

We have walked past and on the grounds of this majestic building numerous times in the past during our vacations to Old Quebec City.This time we took a tour. They have regular free tours throughout the day offering separate tours in french and english languages.Our poor guide had a cold but he did extremely well. The tour was about 30 minutes long.I, my wife and teenaged kids loved the tour. As we went during the winter holidays, nothing was going on in the Legislature so we were able to tour the room from the gallery. I'm not sure if they would allow certain areas to be toured if they was a session in progress.Only regret was the gift shop was closed due to it being a few days before Christmas.

I was in a group tour for this as we were at a conference. The English speaking guide was very informative. I like to go to all the legislatures in every province, this was another great building with great history. I think its important to understand the government history so for me its a great stop that doesn't take that much time out of your day.

Oops I forgot my ID! Fortunately my husband had his and we were the only ones there for a tour in English. After a few extra questions and paperwork we were able to enjoy a tour with a delightful tour guide. He was very informative and we learned a lot about the Quebec and Canadian government. The building was decorated for Christmas which added to the charm. Definitely worth a stop!

Not being Canadian, I didn't know what to expect from this tour, and we found it fascinating. The building was beautiful, and with us being there in December, the Christmas decorations were a nice touch too. Our guide was informative and explained things well. Highly recommended.

Had a great lunch in the minister's dining room - great value for money, excellent food and wine, silver service dining at its best

The Parliament Building is impressive. It's also right next to the Citadel and close to Chateau Frontenac. At night in the winter it is lit up with Xmas tress and the fountain out front.

The tour guides are fonts of knowledge and very entertaining. The tour was free, but ID was needed (no surprise there)

It was closed the day i was there but i did stop by on my walk around town. It's a nice old building and worth the short detour
