So we visited during Christmas and my brother said the Christmas market was a must see. Well i think the actual Christmas Market had already closed by the time we visited, but we still go to walk around and enjoy the markets by the old port. Good thing too as it was pouring rain and it was a nice 2 hour getaway to shop around and buy some souvenirs.

Visited the old port during the Quebec Winter Carnival and watched one of the craziest races ever. Five men canoes heading out across the ice of the St Lawrence in and out of bone chilling water all the way to Levis and then back on what has to be one of the coldest days ever. Quebecois have my profound respect for one of the most dangerous and cold sports ever. It also gave a close up look at the new modern Cruise Port for summer.

Been here twice in the past 18 months as part of cruise stop. Cruise terminal well kept and extremely handy to see Old town, but Old Port itself and the covered market really did not warrant more than an hour.A short walk towards Lower town will yield more for your sight seeing effort.

Visited for Xmas and although wasn't the white xmas we had hoped for, the Old Port was quaint, characteristic and a lovely place to visit. We stayed within the walls so we were close to it all. You only really need 2-3 days tops though as it's quite small. A ferry across to Levis is worthwhile for $7 return. Good photo opportunities. We went across in the daylight and then back in the dark.

We discovered the covered market at the Old Port quite by chance and were very pleased we did. So much amazing food, produce, wines and ciders, and wonderful little gift ideas. It's a pity the market isn't better promoted and sign-posted around Old Quebec.

While in port before leaving on a cruise, we wandered the old port area and old port market. It was pleasant, but nothing extraordinary.

We thought we were going to a real marketplace, with a farmer's market, lots of eating choices and interesting local crafts. However, we were disappointed. There were food vendors, but primarily cider and ice wines, maple confections and smoked meats. It was OK but not great.The "food court" area had just one very rinky-dink cafe, which didn't look fresh.There was a "Christmas" market going on - and if you're into Christmas decor and ornaments it was probably good. The market in Toronto is much, much better and more interesting.Also, there is virtually nothing else to do in this area and it's a long walk from Old Town (and a longer walk back up the hills) for not much of anything.

We took a ferry and enjoyed it breaking the ice like an icebreaker with the temperature -44 C. I liked everything!

On a rainy November day my husband and I took a cab to the Vieux-Port Market and were glad that we did. The market is large and contains everything from apples to spirits not made from grapes to Christmas ornaments. Each stall was fun to visit, and many had samples for customers to try. That is how we happened to buy a port not made from grapes.....it was so good! There are bakeries and meat markets and places to buy and eat food. Plus, the market is located right on the shores of the Saint Lawrence River. Don't miss this place!

Having explored old town we almost missed the old port, so glad we didn't and well worth those few extra steps. Gorgeous setting, shops and cafes.

I started out at the Old Port Market which would be a fantastic place to pick up fresh food if you are preparing a meal. This area was very quaint with locally owned restaurants, art galleries & outdoor art. As I walked closer to the where the cruise ships were docked, the shops became geared toward the tourists. The victory? church was a nice little stop. At least two large frescos were nice to see. The funicular gave a great view of the lower town and was an easy way to get to the upper town.

Lots of interesting antique shops and small restaurants. Lots of worthwhile architecture to view. It's an easy walk. be sure and read a good guide before exploring the area.

It is a must to combine the walk through the Old Port (Vieux-Port) Market in your city tour. The fresh market offer everything a gourmet market offer which include foie gras, wines, various type of fruits, flowers, meats, spices, etc. it is a very active market all-day-long with shoppers and sellers interactive in the trade. Being French oriented, the merchants were very proud of their produces and were willing to entertain various questions from foreign visitors. Great experience for an hour visit.
