It is the provincial capital and easily makes you think of Europe. Quebec is the only walled city north of Mexico and it is jammed packed with reminders of it's history which is full of battles between the French and the English.
Quebec is very touristy but beautifully maintained and perfect for walking around (and when you tire of walking there is a funicular!). We were there over the Canada Day long weekend which meant there wasn't anything "official" going on to celebrate but there was a lot of people around and lots of street performers. (Quebec celebrated it's "national" day last weekend?!?). It was so nice to get away and plug more holes in our understanding of Quebecois history!
