Tourist attractions surrounding Quebec City include the Montmorency Falls, the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, the Mont-Sainte-Anne ski resort, and in winter the Ice Hotel.
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre is a beautiful church with gorgeous paintings and mosaics. The Montmorency falls are breathtaking.
If you have time in February to vacation you need to go to the Winter Carnival. The festival's events include a winter amusement park, with attractions such as skiing, snow rafting, ice sculptures, snow sled slides and outdoor shows. The Bonhomme, a friendly snowman, is the Carnival's guest of honour. Every year an Ice hotel is built. It is amazing. The whole structure is made of ice and beautifuly intricate icecarvings. One can even stay in the Ice Hotel at night. The winter Carnival is so much fun and is a must!
