There’s the famous 1884 toboggan slide, outdoor ice skating, North America’s only ice hotel, Hotel de Glace, and more. Stroll the streets of Old Quebec and admire the quaint, colourful shops, find a coffee shop and sip on a hot drink and pick up a local gem, fresh baked croissants in between your exploring.
