Walk around the 'Old City,'...
by dzni
Walk around the 'Old City,' which is a walled area of Quebec sitting on the banks of the St. Lawrence. Here is where pretty much everything you'll want to see is located. But seriously, just walk around, you'll enjoy yourself. Stop in the shops, check out the little restaruants here and there. And if you're old enough, stop in at a pub.
Fantastic Shopping
by Radiomom
Shopping in Montreal was a great deal of fun, even if it was extremely cold! While we'd brought ski clothes, we found we needed more scarves and warmer hats than we'd brought. There were such beautiful warm walking boots, too. Do these people look cold? And that was before we went ice skating!
Room To Rent, Great Location Lower Town
by Mikebb
Walking through the lower town there were many interesting sights, but one that took my eye was the Room To Let sign in the middle of the tourist precinct. It gave an insight to the cost of living. I cannot read or understand French and cannot comment whether it was a good deal.
If your a first time camper....

We pack many, many things in all different size of Ziploc baggies. Prevents spillage and keeps things handy for those trips to the showers. Speaking of the showers, always make sure that you have change for the showers. Again...put the camera in plastic. Make the tent the most accessible item to remove from the car, that way when you're beat and just wantto get the tent up, you don't have to go digging for it. Don't forget to use sealer on the tent seams and always bring a tarp and mosquito/bug spray. If you're travelling out of the US with your pets, keep their vaccination records in a handy spot.
The best ice-cream I've ever had
by King_Golo
Just opposite Québec City lies the small town if Lévis (pronounced Leevee). Many tourists take the ferry to there just to get a good view of QC and Château Fontenac, but only a few ever leave the ferry terminal to discover Lévis. If you want to be one of those few and enjoy the world's best chocolate-covered ice-cream, turn right after leaving the terminal, climb the steep stairs to your left and turn left into the second or third street you pass. There you'll see a rather unimposing building with a sign reading "Le chocolat favoris". That's where you get the world's best chocolate-covered ice-cream (and many other delicacies)!
You can choose between 5 sizes of ice-cream, but be warned: already the baby size is as big as a normal ice-cream. Your ice will be covered with chocolate which is so thick and crusty you actually have a hard time reaching the ice. But -oh!- it's soooooo yummy!
