A 2-hour visit to the most "European" city in North America.

    • Glenn Campbell Yup, there was a two-hour limit on the parking meter, and I was back before the meter ran out. It was more than enough time. The actual "European" portion of the city is small: within the fortified walls of the old city. It's also cleaner and better kept than Europe. The old city is a combination of genuinely old buildings (200+ years old) and newer buildings built to the style (like the massive Fontenac Hotel).

    • Trevor Krick That is Vieux Quebec? It is beautful... It has been a while since I have been there but I'm sure that it hasn't changed.

    • Glenn Campbell My feeling on Vieux Quebec: If you have the time and money to come to this out-of-the-way place, you might as well go to the REAL Europe.
      This is Europe for wimps!

    • Anne Kissel Isn't it beautiful? I went there years ago, in early March, and when down at the river (down that crazy transport thing) I stood at the river bank, and could HEAR all the little icebergs clacking against one another as they rushed down river....a sound I never heard before. It was eerily beautiful! I'll never forget it.

    • Tommy Wednesday its not supposed to be Europe. Its Canada! the only walled city in North America, also one of if not the oldest.

    • Glenn Campbell Actually, the idea of it is pretty cool! From this high vantage point, the Frogs could control access to the St. Lawrence and a good portion of the North American interior.
