Beyond the city walls, Grand Allée forms the spine of the city. The district near Parliament Hill is of greatest interest to tourists. 

Here, a bevy of restaurants, patios, and entertainment venues bring local and visiting crowds. The street's grandiose 19th-century buildings were once home to the city's upper class.

 Other Québec City attractions on Grand Allée include the Grande Allée Drill Hall, Battlefields Park, and the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec
