TRAVEL IDEAS
24 hours in Quebec City
I couldn't agree more with Emily Hanssen on what to do, or where to stay in Quebec City. Don't miss this city during your North American travels. It is beautiful, vibrant, and full of culture. The only other thing I would suggest would be to take a ferry ride to Levis, so you can cross the St. Lawrence, and get some great snap shots of Quebec City. The whole trip will take you about 30 minutes.
1. Find the right hostel.
2. Rent a bike.
3. Buy your picnic at the Old Port Market.
4. People watch at L’escalier Casse-Cou and the Citadel.
5. Take a walk down Artist’s Alley.
