What $100 gets you in QUEBEC CITY (one of Canada’s Oldest Cities)

[@vanhallaadventures]

We LOVED our time in Quebec City! We were actually surprised at how many things we could do for under $100. The spa and the ice hotel were so much fun - definitely check them out when you go! Have you been to Quebec City? If so, what other places should we check out next time we visit? (p.s. Our French is pretty much non-existent so sorry in advance for our mispronunciation)

[@tudormiller887]

Would Quebec be better to visit rather than move to permanently ? Watching in the UK.

[@rioriggs3568]

- Île d'Orléans (Orleans Island) - 20 min from downtown Quebec - Chutes Montmorency (Montmorency Falls) - 20 min from downtown Quebec. - Marché de Noël Allemand (German Christmas Market) - Old Quebec (Nov. 24th to Dec. 24th) - Microbrasseries (Microbreweries) - Multiple locations - Quebec (province) has the best beer outside of Belgium - Pubs et Bistros (Pubs and Bistros) - Multiple locations - Not Montreal, but Quebec has some amazing food - La Citadelle (19th century fortress) - Old Quebec - Festival d'été de Québec (Quebec summer music festival) - Old Quebec - One of the greatest (July) - Église, basilique, sanctuaire, etc. (Churches, basilicas, sanctuaries, etc.) - Multiple locations - Etc.

[@joshuacaron5397]

Can you just get a daypass and visit the ice hotel? You can visit without staying?

[@joshuacaron5397]

Hey question on the ice hotel do you happen to know if you can get there by bus? I will take a taxi there if I must I don't drive. Thanks fir showcasing it in your video it looks amazing. Your video overall was amazing and your choose of music wow especially in the petit Champlain Segment wow what music so upbeat really pulls you into the experience:)

No idea if you are aware of it but the Chateau Frontenac is more than the most photographed hotel in the world, it's also in one of the rooms of this hotel that all the allies leaders planned the D-Day landing. It is an important piece of history.

Quebec is such an amazing place! I try to go multiple times a year! As a couple, it's probably a 1/4 of the price compared to the same time spent at Disney. The food in Quebec and Montreal is next level. Probably the foody capital of the world.

[@elainebmack]

Great video! I went to the Winter Carnaval in Quebec City for the first time in 2020. LOVED it!! I didn't even have that much money but enjoyed everything so much. The very best things about Quebec City are the people - so warm, friendly, and down to earth. I've already made plans to return in 2024. Can't wait! I'm a horrible ice skater, but I might even extend my trip to Ottawa to skate the Rideau Canal.

We haven’t been to Quebec City in years - it’s such a beautiful city! I always thought the ice hotel would be very $$$. A day pass sounds like a great option. Thanks for sharing!

A fun video. You sold Quebec well. Many years ago I went with my family to Eastern Canada, including Quebec, but the memories are dim. My wife and I have been to the Montreal region a few times. She has French canadian roots, but Quebec seems to have been beyond our reach by car. Also, the locals and we have difficulty speaking Parisian French vs. Quebecois. We still do talk about making a trip to Quebec City and should do so before it's too late !

It's never been on my bucket list... But will be adding it for sure. Thanks for showing it to a 🇨🇦. Not convinced I'd ever go in the winter!!!! Maybe a Kingston, Montreal, Quebec city road trip is in order. Need to see the thousand islands in the St Lawrence again... Or is it ten thousand islands???

[@vanhallaadventures]

Oh I’ve never heard of that! That sounds magical!

[@upcycledcopycat8389]

The houses, cottages & a mansion here and there are really amazing.

[@elainebmack]

You should go, especially in the Winter. It is super cold in Quebec City, but there are so many places to warm yourself for free or really cheap. There is something about being there in the winter that brings people together in a good way. I traveled there alone, yet I felt completely at home and welcomed. Lots of really good warming food and drink inexpensively. The people are so warm and friendly too.

Thank you! We loved Quebec :) We were there in early March so hopefully you have nice-ish weather like we did to walk around - have fun!

[@fossilsue]

[@JusticeJanitor]

Something about the Strom Spa, if you pay an extra $29 CAD (that's what it was last time I went) you have access to the Laga Floating Baths which is a salt water pool with so much salt that you literally float. I nearly fell asleep each time I went, it was so relaxing. I highly recommend it.

[@philadelphiawalksptsd]

I've seen these 'aids' or what have you for new ice skaters lately, but I don't recall them being available while growing up during the 70s and 80s. Took a little class when I was younger and got a little green patch for completing the first phase of beginning ice skating. (easier when younger, I'm sure. center of gravity a lot lower and the fall wouldn't hurt as much on the hips, etc) lol. curious when these walker/skater/aid things surfaced? they use them here for beginners (special little ones for kids) at City Hall here in Philly.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Ha true - always thinking of our hips as we get older! I’m not sure when that started but they are really helpful, like a little security blanket.

[@jefft3814]

Very nice video, but there is a slight mistake when you talk about the oldest church in North America. This honour goes to the church of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, which is the church you indeed show in the video (around 1:52), but it is not the basilica of Quebec City. The cathedral of Quebec City is located in the upper town, in front of the town hall. I know for sure, since I am born and live here! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

[@p24p14]

Its amazing how the 2 get so often mixed up, especially since the basilica is much more imposing. I guess because English speakers don't realize "Notre Dame" is a common denominator for most catholic churches in French, its not like a proper name of only one church

Hello. Did most of the people speak English or did you need to know some French? Besides walking, how did you traverse Quebec City- uber, train? The spa looked amazing. I'm considering a visit.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Pretty much everyone spoke English but they do like it when you try to speak French. Like “hello, good morning, good evening, good night, do you speak English?, my French is not very good.” Phrases like that will help. Thanks for watching!

Actually funicular isn't a French word, it comes from a latin word funiculus meaning small rope. Thats just what they are called! It WAS influenced by the French word funiculaire, however, which means "relating to a cord under tension." Can't wait to ride it soon!

Walk. It's way more fun.

[@onecrazycanadiancouple4513]

You should come to Ottawa. Brian can practice skating on the longest outdoor rink ink the world. The Rideau canal isn’t just h go or skating. In the summer theirs boat rentals and when you come an hour south of Ottawa you can rent luxury boats that sleep multiple people. The whole region is gorgeous and right across the bridge is Quebec. Montreal is only an hour and a half to Ottawa. We live outside a small historic town with home dating in the 1800’s. You really should explore Ontario.
