Day 3: Québec City German Christmas Market

Today is a leisurely day to see and do what you want. The Christmas Market continues today from 11am-6pm. Perhaps take a stroll along North America’s oldest streets, or visit Petit-Champlain, a fairy-tale like pedestrian-only street festively decorated for the holidays. Marvel at the holiday décor, shop unique boutiques, and warm yourself at the outdoor fire pits. Meet back up with the group for an included dinner. 

Day 4: Tour of Québec City and Le Château Frontenac

After an included breakfast at the hotel, an entertaining day is ahead! Enjoy a guided Tour of Québec City, arriving at the Château Frontenac in time for lunch and a guided tour of this beautiful, historic landmark. After your in-depth time at Château Frontenac, walk back to your hotel and freshen up for a group dinner.

Day 5: Journey Homeward

This morning, after an early breakfast, board the coach for the ride home. During the journey, we stop at a traditional sugar shack for lunch.  Then it’s homeward with some unique gifts and memories of the festive side of La Belle Province with new friends.

There will be a fair amount of walking outdoors, while on the city tours and while browsing the markets.  Be sure to be prepared for winter weather with warmer coats, hats, and gloves and comfortable boots or shoes.  You don’t want to forget your camera or your Christmas shopping list.
