Uncover the wonders of Québec City, a clifftop cosmopolitan destination overlooking the St Lawrence River in eastern Canada. Priding itself on its quintessential French vibe, this 400-year-old city is punctuated by landmarks of its military history, botanical parks, and atmospheric squares. The fortified Old Québec charms you with cobblestone streets flanked by centuries-old buildings, funicular rides, and the showstopper Fairmont Le Château Frontenac looming above. Outside the walls, trendy neighborhoods are bustling with artists and buskers, while fine eateries treat you to boreal cuisine! The state-of-the-art Huron Wendat museum complex in Wendake offers superb insights into Canada’s indigenous First Nations. Québec’s urban trails including the waterfront promenade, along with the popular winter festivals are ideal for people-watching, while a sunset river ferry is excellent to admire its skyline. Natural attractions such as the Plains of Abraham and Montmorency Falls allow outdoor explorations in the area, and across the bridge, Île d’Orléans welcomes you to the lush ‘Garden of Québec’ countryside!
