Quebec is Canada's French-speaking centre and one of North America's most beautiful cities. Accommodation can be tough to find unless you book early, though, so leave that to us at HotelTravel.com.
Quebec City in Quebec province, Canada, is doggedly faithful to the traditions and language of France. Quebec City is also unique for being the only walled city in North America. The town is famous for its Winter Carnival, and for its Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day celebration. Other attractions include the resplendent Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre. The big Quebec Aquarium and the equally impressive Quebec Zoo both reopened in 2002.

The capital of Quebec province, Quebec City, is one of Canada’s most charming and picturesque cities, offering a wealth of architectural gems and natural beauty. Its population is composed of 95 percent French-speaking residents, adding a unique cultural element to the city and increasing its appeal as a visitor destination.
As a city in a country with vast areas of wilderness and countryside, Quebec offers plenty in the way of outdoor activities, especially those that make use of the winter weather. Skiing and snowboarding are popular pursuits among locals and visitors alike, while for something a little different a dog sledding excursion packs some thrills. For family visitors, venues such as the Parc Aquarium du Quebec and Lavertu Extreme are good options.
With Quebec, the dilemma of creating a sightseeing itinerary is not what to include but what not to include, such is the extent of its interesting monuments, venues and locations. History enthusiasts rarely miss out on visiting Battlefields Park and the Old Port, while nature lovers invariably pencil Montmorency Falls Park near the top of their to-see lists.
At just a 20-minute drive away, Jean Lesage International Airport is the closest air facility to Quebec City. This small, single-terminal airport offers mainly domestic flights but does have some charter services from London and Paris and both charter and scheduled flights from the US. The Canadian carrier Air Paris operates the majority of flights from the airport.
