Day 1 · Arrive & settle in
Land, drop your bags, and ease into Québec City with something low-key nearby. It’s the only walled city north of Mexico — just wander the old town on foot.
Day 2 · Old Québec and the city walls
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: château frontenac.
Day 3 · Last morning & departure
Squeeze in one more before you go — petit-champlain quarter if you have time — then head to the airport.
