4Quebec City, Canada

With its European charm, Quebec City is a winter fairy tale come to life. The cobblestone streets and historic buildings look like something out of a holiday postcard, especially when dusted with snow. The Old Town, with its narrow alleys and grand architecture, is particularly enchanting in winter. Visitors can enjoy the Winter Carnival, the world’s largest winter festival, with ice sculptures, parades, and outdoor activities like tobogganing and ice skating on the historic Plains of Abraham.

Why It’s Breathtaking: Quebec City’s Old World charm combined with the festive winter atmosphere makes it one of the most enchanting destinations in North America.
