An absolute must-see, the Québec City region is steeped in history and generous in nature. The Old Québec district, known for its historical appeal, heritage sites, museums and cultural attractions, is positively wonderful in the winter. The region enjoys an exceptional amount of snow that delights winter sports enthusiasts and is home to the only ice hotel in North America. After a fun-filled day, treat your taste buds to top-class dining at the city’s best restaurants.

Located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, the Petit Champlain district is recognized as one of Old Québec City’s most beautiful areas. Superbly illuminated in the winter, this famous district is a romantic spot with iconic narrow streets as well as friendly restaurants and cafés where you can come in from the cold and warm up. There are also countless shops, each more welcoming than the last, that make this district a must-see shopping destination!
