Day 1 - Immersing in History
Begin your Quebec City adventure at the stunning Moraine Lake. The turquoise waters and towering mountains are a sight to behold - like a Bob Ross painting come to life. Feel free to canoe or simply soak up the majestic views. Next, head to Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, brimming with history, culture, and cobblestone allure. Don't forget to check out the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac which offers breathtaking views. Finally, taste Quebec's famed Poutine at a local diner, Chez Ashton. It's a delicious combo of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Nothing says 'Welcome to Quebec' like a mouthful of poutine!
Day 2 - Nature's Delights and Night Lights
Kick off the day with a visit to Montmorency Falls, higher than Niagara Falls and truly a thundering spectacle of nature. Take the gondola or the stairs all the way to the top for sweeping views. Post lunch, explore Ile d'Orleans, a picturesque island known for its delicious strawberries and vast vineyards. In the evening, make your way to Grande Allée for dinner and drinks. Ever enjoyed a meal under twinkling fairy lights? This is your chance! Post dinner, enjoy night-life Quebec-style at a happening club, Le Dagobert, where the party never stops!
Day 3 - Art, Markets and Farewell Feasts
Start your day exploring the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec featuring some of the best Quebecois art. Later, wander through Petit Champlain District - think laid-back Parisian charm mixed with Canadian cool. Shop for everything from maple syrup to woolen mittens. For lunch, head to the famous Marché du Vieux-Port for an authentic local food experience. As your trip comes full circle, enjoy a farewell feast at the famous Le Saint-Amour restaurant. With its top-notch French cuisine and local flavors, it's the perfect way to say 'au revoir' to Quebec.
