Explore the UNESCO city of Quebec, while spending a night at the iconic Ice Hotel! Quebec City is wonderful at any time of the year, but it is extra special when the cobblestoned streets are covered in snow. Enjoy exploring the historical part of the city, stop in for a well deserved homemade hot chocolate in one of the "chocolatiers" and enjoy the feeling of being in France.

A truly unique experience, the Ice Hotel is rebuilt every year and only opens from January until March. Marvel at the ice sculptures and art work, have fun snow shoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing or dogsledding. Alternatively, relax in the state of the art Scandinavian spa with its indoor and outdoor pools and treatments.

Quebec City is the capital of the province of Quebec. Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are the only remaining fortified city walls in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Quebec City is internationally known for its Summer Festival, Winter Carnival, and the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the city skyline. The National Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Civilization are found near Vieux-Québec. Other attractions near the city are Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
