Quebec City Holidays
Experience a truly continental Canada in Québec City: home to centuries of history and beautiful architecture.
A trip to this French-speaking city is a step back in time to old world Europe with its cobbled streets and chocolate-box buildings, as well as the striking, gothic Cathedral-Basilica Notre-Dame de-Québec. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and against a backdrop of stunning landscapes, Québec City will capture your heart and your imagination. Be sure to wander the 2.8 mile long Fortifications of Québec and wrap up warm against the cold weather if you're visiting during the chillier months, when temperatures can reach as low as minus 25, making this city a winter wonderland.
