Quebec City
Americans and Canadians call this city "Europe in America" because nowhere else in Canada and the USA has a real medieval European city with a fortress, cathedrals, narrow cobbled streets, and, most importantly, the flavor and spirit of Europe been preserved so perfectly.

At the same time, it is very important to emphasize that for tourists spoiled by real Europe, Quebec City will seem pretty, but quite banal. There are dozens of similar cities in France, and fortresses and castles are exotic only for North America. But it's still worth going to Quebec City, even if you've traveled the length and breadth of Europe. Yet the province of Quebec and its main city, in particular, are very different from France as such. French colonists, who first arrived in these harsh northern lands in the XVI century, tried to recreate their usual provincial Europe in the middle of the taiga and surrounded by Indians.

An interesting nuance: those French-speaking Quebecers who live in Canada, for the most part, have nothing in common with France except the language, they are only very distant descendants of those Frenchmen who arrived in Canada 400-500 years ago.

In Quebec City ("kebek" in one of the Indian dialects means "the place where the waters narrow") - the capital of the province of Quebec (and once the whole of Canada), the only city fortress wall in North America, the citadel known as "American Gibraltar", as well as a whole area of medieval development - the Latin Quarter (recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) with Catholic cathedrals, Jesuit and Franciscan monasteries, parliament (XIX century), Artillery Park, etc. Now on the narrow streets, usually filled with tourists, there are numerous shops, shops, restaurants, and bars.
