Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America, with French explorers arriving at the site of Old Quebec in 1535. This historic destination is also the only fortified city in Canada, with towering stone walls encompassing the old town. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets of Old Quebec and marvel at the stone architecture and historic landmarks of this charming city. Be sure to sample the locally produced maple syrup available in many downtown shops.
