Quebec City (French: Québec) is the capital of the province of Quebec in Canada. Located at a commanding position on cliffs overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway, Quebec City's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only city in north America, north of Mexico with its original city walls. Quebec City is the capital city of the province of Quebec (though it is referred to as the National Capital in the province). Fortunately, the city has a remarkable history, as the fortress capital of New France since the 16th century.Although the town's day-to-day life leaves things a little yawn-y at times, the vibrant historical center makes for an incredible visit. http://wikitravel.org/en/Quebec_(city)
