Quebec City has 400 years of history<\/strong> and is certainly the most European city in North America. No matter what time of year it is, it is impossible to get bored in this charming capital city, which can easily be visited on foot, on wheels or on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the winter, Quebec City is particularly magical under the snow and there is no shortage of activities to enjoy during the cold season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Slide on the Dufferin Terrace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

To capture the essence of Quebec City, take a stroll on the Dufferin Terrace. This long wooden walkway allows you to admire the view of the St. Lawrence River, \u00cele d’Orl\u00e9ans, the Lower Town and of course the majestic Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In winter, the famous wooden slides<\/a> are a popular attraction for thrill-seekers who can go down them at full speed (up to 70 km\/hour). Built in 1884, they overlook the river and include three ice corridors that are accessible from mid-December to mid-March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Admire the Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac (and stay there!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer and winter alike, the Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac<\/a> is an eye-catcher. But with its fairy tale castle look, it is even more magical under the snow. The most photographed hotel in the world, commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1892, it has become emblematic of Quebec City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elegant and majestic, it becomes a jewel case at nightfall. You’ll discover even more of its cachet when you stay here, especially when you can cut the bill! With credit card points<\/a>, you can save a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
