Quebec City, Quebec Vacations
Quebec City is home to the world's largest winter carnival, Carnaval de Quebec. This carnival offers so many different things to do, check out the ice palace or the giant soccer game. Take a ride on the winter slides or jump into the snow bath! Being the only four century old fortified city in North America, visiting Quebec City is like traveling back in time to New France. 400 years of French Canadian history is bound between the walls. Some of the must see historical sites are: Musée de Fort, Chateau Frontenac, Plains of Abraham, Quebec Fortifications, Basilique Cathédrale Notre-Dame, and Artillery Park. An abundance of nature adventures are another great way to spend your time in Quebec City. It is like an outdoor playground within and surrounding the city. Parc National de la Jacques Cartier offers moose watching rafting, mountain biking, hiking and much more. The stunning Côte-de-Beaupré region between the mountain side and the St. Lawrence River presents one of the best bird watching areas in the world, allowing sightseers to observe over 300 species of birds.
