Europe or Canada? - Old Quebec!
#quebec
When we think of Canada, we think of modern skyscrapers, or the beautiful rocky mountains. But there’s another side that looks like Europe in the province of Quebec!
Visit Old Quebec! Old Quebec is a charming and historic district in Quebec City. Its cobblestone streets, 17th-century architecture, and charming boutiques make it a popular tourist destination. The main street has a lot of quaint shops and restaurants, souvenir stores and also places to try the Canadian classic Maple Taffy!
Old Quebec is a must-see for anyone interested in Quebec's unique history and culture. It is also every photographer’s dream in winter time when it literally turns into winter wonderland with all the ornaments, christmas decorations and snow covering the city.

For the first time in 3 years, I was in Canada for Chinese New Year.
The old Quebec is in my opinion one of the most beautiful places in Canada.
When walking around old Quebec, there are tons of little cute shops and a European vibe.
Enjoy your time in La belle province and don’t forget to eat a poutine! 😊

Quebec City, Canada
I was only here for the day as well. we were driving to the east coast and I begged me dad to stop. Such a beautiful town. Old Quebec is a great day stop. Lots to see and take pictures of and plenty of restaurants to try. My only warning is there was not many public washrooms and by that I mean we never found one. There was a government building that has one but I’d suggest using the washroom every time you see one just in case. Otherwise enjoy walking down every street you never know what you might find. I’d love to go back and have more time to plan what I need to see but for a spontaneous trip I don’t think I could have found a better city. #canada #quebec
Québec City: European charm
Québec City is one the only remaining cities with a fortified City wall. As such, it's a city dipped in history, which its historic center, or the Old Town is largely preserved.
The city is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town. Both parts of the city are connected by a cute funicular or a short walk. The Upper Town consists of more modern buildings, such as the famous Château Frontenac and the City Hall. This part of town also offers great views of the surrounding landscape.
The Lower Town, however, is the older part of town and is full of character and charm. You will be forgiven if you think you're in a small town in Europe, or France for that matter. The cobblestone streets, small squares and cute buildings all add to the magical charm of the area. Especially if you go towards dusk when the crowds start to thin out and the evening light seeps through, you might even feel like your in a sort of storybook.
Québec City is a city that is great to explore. You'll find historic buildings and you can savor traditional québécois cuisine. Head here in fall for an extra splash of color and character!

Quebec, Canada introduction
Quebec City
This oldest French city in North America is located at the top of the cliff above the St. Lawrence River, with picturesque old streets, making it a gorgeous and enticing place.
Amazing architecture
Quebec City's dramatic setting certainly enhances its appeal, with postcard-perfect views of the St. Lawrence River (or even the Laurentian River on clear days) from the elevated Terrasse Dufferin boardwalk. But its beauty is not all God-given; humans have played a role in shaping this pretty face too. Simply walking the streets here is an aesthetic pleasure. The historic center of this city is unlike anywhere else in North America, with hundreds of gorgeous double-pitched roofed, ancient stone buildings clustered within the perfect frame of the city walls' saw-toothed outline.
Life Museum
Quebec City is one of the oldest and most magnificent settlements in North America. Its picturesque old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring narrow cobblestone streets, 17th and 18th century houses, towering church spires, lively museums, and the magnificent Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and other iconic buildings. Despite having a T-shirt shop on every other corner, the classic taverns, sidewalk cafes, and neatly trimmed squares exude more than a hint of old Europe. History buffs will especially enjoy the 19th-century mountaintop castle and two museums in Quebec City, which offer graphic representations of the battles fought between France and England for control of the city.
Heart connected to French.
Quebec City has something else: the heart and soul of the province, as well as the strictest control over the identity of French-Canadian and the use of French language. This is what the people here have fought and sacrificed for, and it is also something they deeply cherish. Quebecers learn English from a young age, but because the English-speaking minority is very small here - only 1.5% of the population speaks English as their mother tongue - they rarely use English outside of major tourist areas. Most city residents are bilingual, but if you venture into the surrounding countryside, you will quickly discover that French is the province's official language.
Food, festivals, and fun.
Quebec City offers wonderful dining options and is known for its local cuisine due to the abundance of agriculture on nearby Orleans Island and Ile d'Orleans. The capital city goes out of its way to welcome visitors. Throughout the summer, musicians, acrobats, and actors dressed in period costumes take to the streets, while wonderful festivals fill the air with fireworks and song. In the coldest months of January and February, Quebec's Winter Carnival is the largest and most colorful winter festival in the surrounding area. Fall and spring bring beautiful foliage, sparse crowds, and significantly reduced prices.

The best time to play in the spring and autumn is pleasant, but very short. The summer is sunny and the climate is hot and humid. The temperature in midsummer is hovering between 15-28 °C, and sometimes the temperature will rise to around 35 degrees. This time is the most comfortable, but in winter there is also the romance of Quebec.
Recommended reason Korean drama "Ghost" shooting location - Quebec City. Qubec City is a legendary color in North America. It is as romantic as a fairy tale world. It is the place where "ghosts" open any door.
About the ancient city of Quebec, it used to be the colonial base and commercial center of the New France Empire. The British have been here, the French Empire has come, the US military has come, and the Central and Eastern European immigrants have settled... It has concentrated on the most prosperous trades and buildings of the colonial period...and is still a treasure of history. A world heritage city that preserves a complete urban defense system and a historic building with French charm.

Notes
1, contrary to the domestic, in the public holidays in Canada (National Day, Christmas, New Year's Day, etc.) Basically all the shops, restaurants and places of entertainment are closed rest, tourists are advised to avoid during the holidays to visit Toronto.
2, Tips are required for meals, taxis, and various services (haircuts, grooming, baggage handling, etc.) in Canada. The rule of thumb is to pay 15% of the pre-tax price.
3, in Quebec, the main exchange is in French.
