[Music] Even the oldest of places can be seen through new eyes. Quebec City brings to mind European vibe, history, and old architecture. This city is all about 400 years old, actually. So just wandering each neighborhood is an experience in itself.

After the long cold winters, summer is the season of celebration. Everyone's out eating, drinking, and soaking up the sun. The city is right on the water, so of course, we wanted to get out and play in it. Even in this old city, we were down to try something new.

[Music] Maybe not only successfully. [Music] Even when you're eating, you can have an adventure. You can eat world-class cuisine in a restaurant the size of someone's kitchen. The restaurant is so accessible, and it's easy to feel like part of the family. We ate some strange things, but it was all incredible.

[Music] While we loved exploring the city, outdoor adventure is calling. So we wanted to get some fresh air and see what the wilds of the province had to offer. The city is surrounded by wilderness. You can easily get out and play, no matter your skill level or how much time you have. You don't have to go very far to slow down and experience solitude.

[Music] There are a few places in North America where you can so easily combine the open with the wild—outdoor adventure with cultural exploration. Travel just around the corner to somewhere that feels so far, yet we found it all in Quebec City.
