Quebec City
Canada
Québec City is the only walled city north of Mexico: Vieux-Québec's cobbled streets under the Château Frontenac, Plains of Abraham's history, Montmorency Falls taller than Niagara, and French-Canadian cooking that takes its sugar pie seriously. Winter's Carnaval is the famous deep freeze — done gloriously.
