You feel like you are walking in an old european neighbourhood, but you are actually in Old Quebec City, Canada. And going in the winter gave it that extra special feeling

I loved my visit to Old Quebec City, even though it was only for 3 days. On a crisp winter days, there was nothing better than to stroll the old stone streets in the heart of this city. Taking in the french canadian culture, and attempting to speak some french with the locals. Stopping to view an art gallery or eat some amazing crepes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

| Favourite spots: |

Truly one of my favorite spots where the Hotel du Parlement(Parliment Building). For someone who admires building structures, this was great! It is a historic site with beautiful stautes all along the outside of inportant figures in Quebec's history. Along with totems and fountians, it was beautiful. They have daily free tours from 9am to 4:30pm. Hotel du Parlement: 1045, rue des Parlementaires 1-866-337-8837- toll free There are many other buildings to see, like the Hotel Frontinac. Beautiful!

I loved the atmosphere, of the people and of the activity in this old city. The door on houses, and building were interesting and unique. Everything is in walking distance, so you can see alot of thing in a couple of days with no problem.

Hi Jelloo,
I too enjoyed reading your report. I've never been to Quebec, but your report creates a nice feeling, which makes me want to.
