• I drove from NYC to Quebec City in Canada for a European-inspired vacation in North America. • Quebec City has a lot of historic architecture, and the province produces impressive ice wines. • My 72-hour trip was a fairly budget-friendly way for me to feel like I was in France.
It's not every day I walk down a street where a Disney princess would be fit to start her opening number, but that's how I felt in Quebec City.
The Canadian city is steeped in centuries of history and feels distinctly European, from its cobblestone streets to its largely French-speaking population.
However, it's actually just an eight-hour drive (or two-hour flight) from my native New York City.
After spending just about 72 hours in the city and its surrounding province, I'd say it's a great place to visit
