Quebec City
Canada
"Old-World French Charm in North America"
Quebec City feels like a corner of Europe in North America. The UNESCO-listed Old Québec is ringed by stone walls, with the Château Frontenac towering over the St. Lawrence River. Wander Petit-Champlain's boutiques, the Plains of Abraham, and Place Royale, then take a short drive to Montmorency Falls or Île d'Orléans for farms and cideries. Winter brings the famous Carnaval and the Hôtel de Glace, while fall foliage cruises along the St. Lawrence are a highlight.
