Destination guide
Quebec City: A walled French city on the St. Lawrence
Quebec City has the only fortified city walls north of Mexico and a 400-year-old old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the most European-feeling city in North America, and small enough to cover on foot in a weekend.
Best time to visit: June to September for warm weather and open terraces. Late January and February for the Winter Carnival and the Ice Hotel, if you can handle real cold. September and early October bring fall colour and the year's best value.
