Why Fly to Québec City, Canada (Québec)?

Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) connects to Toronto, Montréal, and US cities with Air Canada, Porter, and American. Québec City is also reachable by VIA Rail from Montréal (3h, extraordinarily scenic along the St. Lawrence). From Québec City you can reach the extraordinary Montmorency Falls (30m higher than Niagara, 15 min east), the Côte-de-Beaupré (Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré pilgrimage basilica), and the extraordinary Charlevoix region (1.5h east).

Old Québec — UNESCO World Heritage
Old Québec (Vieux-Québec) — UNESCO World Heritage, the only fortified city in North America north of Mexico, its 4.6km of stone walls built by the French and reinforced by the British — divides into the Upper Town (Haute-Ville, dominated by the Château Frontenac and the Plains of Abraham) and the Lower Town (Basse-Ville, the Quartier Petit-Champlain, the most charming street in North America).
Château Frontenac
The Château Frontenac — a 1893 Canadian Pacific Railway château-style hotel perched on the Cape Diamond cliff, the world’s most photographed hotel, dominating every view of Québec City — is as much a symbol of Canada as the CN Tower. Even if not staying, the lobby, the terrace (Terrasse Dufferin), and the funicular connecting Upper and Lower Town are essential Québec City experiences.
Québec Winter Carnival — World’s Largest
Québec Winter Carnival (Carnaval de Québec, February, 17 days) — the world’s largest winter festival, founded 1954, featuring the extraordinary snow and ice sculpture competition, the Bonhomme Carnaval mascot, toboggan runs on the Terrasse Dufferin, and the extraordinary ice hotel (Hôtel de Glace, rebuilt from scratch each January from 15,000 tonnes of snow) — is one of the world’s great winter experiences.
Montmorency Falls — Higher than Niagara
Montmorency Falls (83m — 30m higher than Niagara Falls) — just 15 minutes east of Québec City, accessible by cable car to a suspension bridge directly over the falls — forms a dramatic sugar loaf of ice (pain de sucre) in winter and a spectacular white plunge cascade in summer, one of Eastern Canada’s most extraordinary natural attractions.
Québec Cuisine — Poutine & Terroir
Québec’s culinary tradition is North America’s most distinctive French-derived food culture — poutine (the iconic fries, cheese curds, and gravy), tourtière (pork pie), sugar shack (cabane à sucre) maple syrup traditions, and the extraordinary craft beer and cider scene of the Eastern Townships reflect a food culture of genuine depth. Old Québec’s Rue Saint-Louis restaurants serve extraordinary classic French-Canadian cuisine.
