"It's not every day I walk down a street where a Disney princess would be fit to start her opening number, but that's how I felt in Quebec City. The Canadian city is steeped in centuries of history and feels distinctly European, from its cobblestone streets to its largely French-speaking population. However, it's actually just an eight-hour drive (or two-hour flight) from my native New York City."
"There's just so much to see in the centuries-old Quebec City, which still has preserved remnants of when it was a fortified colonial town. It's an architecture nerd's dream, from the walls surrounding Old Quebec (that still have many parts intact) to the mix of buildings in a range of design styles. For example, the you-can't-miss-it-it's-so-big Château Frontenac is distinct with its classic 1890s Châteauesque style, while the Édifice Price skyscraper is pure 1929 Art Deco."
Quebec City blends centuries-old European-style architecture, cobblestone streets, and a largely French-speaking population while remaining an eight-hour drive or short flight from New York City. A 72-hour visit offers fortified town walls, landmarks like Château Frontenac and the Édifice Price, City Hall, Parliament Building, and the National Art Museum. A budget hotel stay costing about $65 CAD per night can include guided street tours and river lookouts. Extensive walking tours showcase varied architectural styles. The culinary scene features French-influenced options including French onion soup and Neapolitan pizza, alongside local Quebecois culinary offerings and ice wines.
