We recommend spending a minimum of 3 days in Quebec City to get to know the city, its people and the authentic French-Canadian culture. Our Quebec City itineraries are full of suggestions for things to do in Quebec City, whether you're coming for a weekend getaway or planning to stay longer. I spent 3 days in Quebec City, Ruth, but I would have liked to have more.

Quebec City maintained its French heritage quite well, considering that the English eventually conquered it. Quebec City, the second largest city in the province of Quebec in Canada, is located along the St.
