Everything you need to know about Quebec City
Quebec City is North America's most European escape — the walled colonial core of Vieux-Québec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, crowned by the fairytale Château Frontenac and laced with cobbled lanes, French bistros, and 400 years of history. It's a short flight from central Canada, walkable end to end, and reinvents itself each season, from summer festivals to the world-famous Winter Carnival.
