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

As we were planning our trip to Montreal city, we were told by everyone, the place to go is Old Quebec city. With this on our minds, we decided to take a day trip there. OH MY GOSH!!!
