The town’s day-to-day life may seem a little dull at times, but the vibrant historical center more than makes up for it. Steeped in history, Quebec was first settled by Europeans in 1608 in an “habitation” led by Samuel de Champlain.
In 2008, the city celebrated its 400th anniversary with major celebrations. With its aboriginal name translating to “where the river narrows,” Quebec City is situated at a spot where the St. Lawrence River dramatically closes in, creating stunning scenic views.
Whether you’re a culture enthusiast or a history buff, Quebec City is undoubtedly the perfect holiday destination for you.
