Quebec City

Allrighty!
What can say aboot Quebec?
Well, it's definately worth a sided trip, perhaps 2 days is a better minimum; then you have time to see outside the city walls.
It really is full of history, lovely narrow, cobble-stone streets everywhere, with spectacular architecture from the 1600's to the early 1900's. The tourist factor isn't quite as evideent during the winter, which is probably a good thing - I could easily see myself hating the place when it's packed with camera clickers!
The fortifications combinedd with high cliffs and the rapidly flowing St Lawrence, (full of ice-bergs) really make a dramatic setting,
Had a coffee inn the wonderful, extrtremely prominent Chateau Frontenac, with it's dramatic steep gable copper roofs and stone walls. Everything within the city's walls are dramatic; La Citadelle, Basilica Notre-Dame (complete with gold altar), hundreds of cannons, the sheer engineering brilliance of building a fortification on what is essentially a cliff!

So yeah, there we have it - like Niagra falls, the tourist factor is there, but there's a reason for that...They're pretty impressive places...
