Quebec City

Quebec City is one of the most magical places in North America, and the moment you arrive, you can feel its incredible history all around you. Founded over 400 years ago by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, it is one of the oldest cities on the continent, and it still looks the part. Towering above the mighty St. Lawrence River is the Château Frontenac, a grand hotel so stunning it looks like something from a fairy tale. Wander down into Old Quebec and you will find yourself on winding cobblestone streets lined with stone buildings, cozy cafés, and colourful shops.

What makes Quebec City truly unique is that you can actually walk along the ancient stone walls that once protected the city from attack, the only walls of their kind still standing in North America north of Mexico. Just outside the city, Montmorency Falls crashes down with a drop taller than Niagara Falls. History, adventure, and charm all in one place? Quebec City absolutely delivers.
