Day 1Canada - Quebec - Quebec City

In eastern Canada, along the St. Lawrence River, you'll discover the captivating Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec. Quebec City holds the distinction of being one of the oldest European settlements in North America, originally established by French colonists in the early 17th century. This rich history is beautifully preserved in the old city walls and the historic downtown area. Presently, the city is home to approximately 520,000 residents, and while French is the primary language, most inhabitants also understand and speak English.

Worth seeing
Quebec Old Town, Basse-Ville Quarter: Explore the enchanting old town center surrounded by stone walls, originally constructed by French and English colonists. Today, it boasts a wide selection of shops, bars, excellent eateries, and, above all, a plethora of exquisite historic buildings.

Montmorency Falls: Just outside the city lies the magnificent Montmorency Falls, one of Quebec City's iconic natural wonders. The powerful waterfall is a must-see attraction.

Chateau Frontenac: This incredibly beautiful hotel will undoubtedly catch your eye. Even if you don't have the opportunity to stay overnight, you can still savor a drink at the hotel bar or take a leisurely walk on "Dufferin Terrace," a picturesque promenade adjacent to the hotel.

Climate
Quebec City experiences a humid continental climate, characterized by significant temperature variations across the four seasons. Summer months bring average high temperatures of 22-24 degrees Celsius, while the winter months are quite cold, with temperatures well below freezing. Quebec City's distinct seasons offer a unique experience year-round.
