the Old Town itself is great, and can be enough for many people. You'll be arriving during the Summer Music Festival (
Accueil :: Festival d'été de Québec) so you might want to grab a pass and seea few shows. There are many public entertainers sprad all over the city, often quite good. At 9:30 PM you can go and see the "Image Mill" in the port, ask around (it's Moulin à Images in French) and people will direct you. Cirque du Soleil also have a free show most days a week, at dusk.
I recommend walking/rolleblading/biking on the champlain boardwalk, a new (2008) park along the St-Laurent river, beautiful to behold and well organised.
If you like nature, a tour towards the Montmorency waterfall is great, as is a tour of Orleans island (you'll need a car). there are multiple provicial parks around the city, bike trails, etc. A few good museums in town, of course.
As for photo ops, the Old town at night is gorgeous, and by day too while you're at it. As for the rst, it depends on your style.
Enjoy your stay!
