Quebec City

Print

Four centuries of Canadian history is on full display in lovely Quebec City, one of the country’s most culturally rich destinations. Explore the historic Plains of Abraham – site of a pivotal 18th century battle between the British and the French – and wander through the Citadelle, an important part of the only walled city in North America. You’ll feel as if you travelled to a different world as you explore the city’s picturesque alleyways and warm yourself in authentic coffeehouses along the Grande Allee.

Get an in-depth understanding of Quebec City with S-Trip! Our tour of Vieux Quebec will get you up close with the city founded in 1608. Explore historic buildings and let your imagination recreate pivotal moments in Canadian history, while you wander through great restaurants and quaint boutiques. When you want to get your legs moving, hop on a free transfer to visit some great ski hills only 40 mins from Quebec City: try your hand at Mont Ste. Anne - with its 63 trails and 2,050 ft. vertical drop – or spectacular Stoneham, host of the Snowboard World Cup, and its massive 17 ft. half-pipe. You’ll also have the option to try some extreme tubing at Village Valcartier, home of other fun winter sports like snow ziplining. In this historic, culture-rich town, you’ll enjoy some cool shopping, great restaurants, exciting activites and the authentic French Canadian sense of fun.
