A walled old town, a castle hotel and a waterfall taller than Niagara. Here's what Quebec City is like with the family and when to go.
Quebec City is French-speaking, but English is widely understood in the old town. Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
Summer and early autumn are warm, with street performers and festivals. February's Winter Carnival has ice palaces, snow slides and canoe races on the frozen river, so wrap up well. December has a German-style Christmas market.
The only walled city north of Mexico, with cobbled lanes and murals.
A boardwalk below the Château Frontenac. In winter there's a fast toboggan run.
A waterfall taller than Niagara, with a cable car, a suspension bridge and a zip line.
A huge park where a famous battle was fought, now for picnics and sledging.
Snow tubing in winter and a big water park in summer.
Belugas and humpbacks at Tadoussac, from June to October. A long but rewarding day.
Yes. It's small, safe and full of history, and it feels like a trip to Europe. Steep streets and stairs link the upper and lower town, so there's a funicular to help.
Three or four nights, as part of a trip with Montreal.
No, but British passport holders flying to Canada, children included, need an eTA, which you apply for online. Check GOV.UK for the current rules.
Yes, it's one of the biggest winter festivals in the world, with snow slides, sleigh rides and a giant snowman mascot called Bonhomme. Temperatures can drop below -20°C.
Put Quebec City on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
