Terrasse Dufferin, built in 1879 provides some of the best sights in the city of Quebec, Canada. The outstanding terrace wraps around the Château Frontenac, overlooking the St. Lawrence River. This idyllic riverside wooden boardwalk is a lively popular attraction in summer, with various exciting festivals, street performers, food vendors and artists gathering in the area creating a wonderfully laid back atmosphere. In winter one can experience a thrilling race down the impressive ice slide and leisurely strolls down the promenade observing the historic cannons and the statute of the city’s founder, explorer Samuel de Champlain.
