Sometimes called "the Gibraltar of America," this imposing fort is located on Cap-aux-Diamants, overlooking the St Lawrence River. Manned to this day by traditionally-dressed troops who perform the changing of the guard every summer day at 10am, the Citadel also offers a museum of Quebec's military history and the story of the Royal 22nd Regiment. Experienced tour guides lead visitors on a one-hour tour through 250 years of Quebec's tumultuous past. Admission: CAD8 Adults; CAD7 Seniors (65+) and Students (18+); CAD4.50 Children (7-17); CAD18 Families; Free for children under 7 accompanied by a parent.
