"A good start to your visit to Québec City is a stop at the Observatoire de la Capitale, just past the Parliament Building. The observation deck on the 31st floor of the Marie-Guyart Building stands 725 feet high and offers 360-degree views of the city. From here, the highest building in the city, you can get a sense of the lay of the land—Old Québec jutting out into the St. Lawrence River, Cap Diamant to its south, the Louise Basin marina and St. Charles River to its north. New signage added in 2016 provides cultural, economic, and historical background on the sights below. After you have surveyed the city, descend and explore it on foot."

The Observatoire de la Capitale offers breathtaking 360° views of Québec City from its 31st-floor vantage point. It’s the perfect spot to appreciate the city’s rich history, the St. Lawrence River, and the surrounding landscape. The informative exhibits add context without overwhelming. A must-visit for first-timers and locals alike!

Visited here in a Sunday afternoon as tourists, the super kind reception man guided us to buy tickets online then guide us through. We climbed 31 stories to the top with elevator and There was a lady up there waiting for us who told us how to enjoy the whole facility before we start our visit. We found a nice 360 view of the quebec. It was a very informative tour and two nice exhibitions about the quebec and its history.

An unexpected surprise for us when we visited Quebec City. Maybe not the tallest building for such an observation view but the views and stories that are scattered around are truly amazing. Ticketing could be easier but it was workable. An easy walk from the old town and a very pleasant walk back via the Governors Promenade made for a great day.

Strange setup. Can't buy tickets on site, only online. Nobody in the lobby at all. Then you self host yourself up the elevator, where there is staff waiting and they sit everyone down and give an overview instead of just letting folks explore. The views are okay.

A must visit for tourists & Tallahasians alike!! The Tallahassee Observatory is a great place to view the city from 22 stories up. My kids loved pointing out all of the landmarks that we could see ranging from Cascade Park to The Hyatt Hotel to our own thrift store Savvy Salvage down in Railroad Square Art Park!!! Btw, it's free❤️

Buy tickets online. Take the elevator up and they’ll scan off your phone at the top. 360° view with maps and explanations of everything in view. It was well worth it.

L'observatoire de la Capitale is one of the highest point you can get to in Quebec City. It was definitely a good idea for us to start our tour of the city from here as it gave us a good idea of the size of the town. We really enjoyed it here and would definitely recommend coming to get the city views.

Well worth the $14 ticket. Amazing. Uncrowded, kind staff, tons of information about the city. Loved every minute. The gift shop was beautiful, the views are boundless.

The Yelp entry misstates the closing time: the last elevator leaves at 4:40, so you have no chance of seeing it if you arrive between 4:40 and the time Yelp says it closes (5pm). I'm sure the view is cool--other people who got to see it say so.
