Bookmark & shareQuébec City has a European skip in its North American stride.
Québec City is the rather European-flavoured capital of Québec province. The city is divided between an Old Town bristling with historic ramparts, churches, narrow lanes and former battlefields, and districts revamped with museums, cafes, bars, restaurants and all the other mod-cons of international tourism.
