Quebec City is a great surprise so close to Ottawa. The city is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. more

We just spent five days in Quebec City in September of '09. We were glad that we stayed inside the old town so that we were so close to all the sights. We enjoyed simply walking around town and did walk the entire wall (often on top or at least right next to it) and that was roughly five kms... more

We took our 6 and 3 1/2 year old girls to Quebec for a 3 days/4 nights. No one wanted to come home! They wore tennis shoes all day because we did tons of walking - I let them put on crocs at night when we weren't going very far. It is hilly, but not like S.F. - no one... more

Vieux Quebec makes for the perfect getaway. Every attraction is within walking distance and the city is vibrant and beautiful. The people are friendly and are bilingual as well. Street performers are common and add to the scene. They have an abundance of shops, museums and restaurants. Bring your camera and your appetite. more

This is probably the most beautiful urban area in North America and is definitely, at 400, the oldest. If you are traveling to Montreal and time permits, you absolutely owe it to yourself to visit Quebec and especially the old city. more

My wife and I love Old Quebec. We got engaged there in 1994 and have made it back three times since. It just has a charm that you cannot get anywhere else in North America; it is actually more European than Europe because much of its history has been preserved. We always stay inside the walls (actually at the Auberge... more

It was like going back in history... The city itself is a walled city... like a fort..which it once was. The buildings,... more
