Capital of Canada's Quebec province, Quebec City is located on the south-eastern side of the country, in the region known as the Capitale-Nationale. Quebec City lies within the St. Lawrence River Valley and directly to the north-east of Montreal, which is just 145 miles / 235 km away, and enjoys a scenic cliff-top location, with dramatic views across the St. Lawrence Seaway.
