Parliament Building

Quebec City Parliament is a beautiful building in Quebec. You have to visit it in summer it is the best time. It is a legendary place full of history. I highly recommend anyhow & everyone to come here to visit!

The Parliament Building of Quebec, located on Parliament Hill in the heart of Quebec City, is an impressive example of Second Empire-style architecture. Built in 1877, it serves as the seat of the National Assembly, the legislative body of the province of Quebec in Canada. I was unable to visit the interior during my trip, but the exterior of the building and the surrounding gardens left a lasting impression. The intricate details of the architecture and the meticulously maintained gardens make the Parliament Building a must-see for anyone visiting Quebec City.

Very gorgeous architectural building with lots of history. Being able to view the rooms where discussions are still held to this day was very special. One thing that did sour the trip for me was when we went to the library there were people taking professional photos in the room. I'm not sure if they were officially hired by the parliament or not but they did not block off the library at all, the doors were still open and we just stood there waiting for them to finish taking the photos. The photographer looked back at the quickly building group of people multiple times and didn't once say anything about how long they'd be or if we were allowed to enter. It came off as some tourists were just hogging the entire library for themselves. If that was official parliamentary business they should have simply put up a sign at the door that said "photography in process please wait 10 minutes" or something to make it clearer.

Dominated by the majestic outline of the Parliament Building and graced by a splendid fountain in its forecourt, Parliament Hill exudes style. The spaciously laid out district, southwest of the old Upper Town, is the seat of Québec's provincial government. National Assembly and Legislative Council- these are open to the public. They would ask for some verification IDs, and you are good to visit this. The main façade is adorned with 26 bronze statues of men and women who shaped the province’s history. Take a free guided tour of the building. The building can be explored by guided or unguided tours that take you through the lovely hallways, rooms, and legislative channels of the building’s historic core. Its architecture, inspired by the Louvre Palace in Paris, makes it one of the only French-style institutional buildings in Québec City. It is Québec’s oldest historic site and the seat of Québec’s government. The building’s main facade boasts 26 bronze statues erected to the memory of key historical figures Parliament Hill is located in the Upper Town, just outside the fortifications. It’s home to several government buildings, the famous Plains of Abraham, and the festive section of Grande Allée. Tony Fountain is just in front of this amazing building.

While I wasn’t able to go inside, it was well worth a visit just to walk around the square and see the gorgeous architecture and life-sized statues of significant historical figures. The building grounds include gardens, a fountain, and many monuments. If you’re visiting old Quebec, don’t miss your chance to see it while walking around and exploring!

The Parliament Building in Quebec is truly stunning, even though I couldn't go inside during my visit. The architecture and surrounding gardens are beautiful, making it worth the trip. There are a few spots where you can easily stop your car and get out to take pictures, which is convenient. It wasn't too busy when I was there. If you're in Quebec, it's definitely worth stopping by to admire this impressive landmark!

We really enjoyed touring the Parliament building. We were able to walk in without a reservation and all we had to do was show our ID and we were able to do a free self guided tour. I enjoyed learning and being able to explore the building and have access to view the rooms where important decisions are made. I would highly recommend checking out the inside as well as walking around the outside of the building as well. They do a great job with the upkeep and landscaping. It’s a beautiful building and a wonderful free activity to do while in Quebec.
