According to the Guinness Book of World Records, t According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, in Quebec City, Canada, is the world’s most photographed hotel. 🇨🇦 And, we can see why! It’s a grand, castle-like hotel that that stands on the top of Cape Diamond in Quebec’s Old City district. The hotel opened up in 1893, which means it is 128 years old. We unfortunately didn’t stay overnight here during our visit, but it was definitely worth a pit stop to check it out!
No matter the season, thermotherapy benefits your No matter the season, thermotherapy benefits your body by reducing stress, releasing tension in your muscles, improving circulation, strengthening your immune system, improving your sleep and more. Sink into deep relaxation with this Scandinavian concept of circling through hot, cold, and rest cycles at the Siberia Spa in Quebec, Canada. 

Start out with heat by enjoying a dry sauna, hot bath, steam bath or infrared therapy. Then shock your system with a cold bath or a dip in the river. Next, spend some time resting in one of the relaxation areas with cozy chairs, hammocks, fireplaces, and soothing nature sounds. Then repeat, repeat, repeat, and maybe grab a coffee, snack, or lunch in between! 

We visited this spa on a frigid winter day and it was so rejuvenating and refreshing. We are definitely wishing we could head back right about now! ❄️ 💙
Snow tubing down ultra-long, ultra-steep hills at Snow tubing down ultra-long, ultra-steep hills at speeds of almost 50 mph is an insane adventure! 🌬️ 

Located in Quebec, Canada, The Winter Playground at Village Vacances Valcartier has some intense snow tubing runs with names like Tornado, Avalanche, Everest, and Himalaya. In the summer, this area is a water park and it completely transforms in the winter. Grab a tube and fly down more than 35 hills, one which is 109 feet high!
Rue du Petit-Champlain is the most photographed st Rue du Petit-Champlain is the most photographed street in the historic center of Quebec City, and we couldn’t resist getting in on the fun. The cobblestone street is lined with little shops, restaurants, and tons of historic charm. Plus, throughout the entire winter, the street is filled with gorgeous decorations that light up at night! It really does look like a fairytale, doesn’t it?! 

Since travel isn’t much of an option right now, we are going to share photos from some of our favorite past trips. Stay tuned for more photos from Quebec City in Quebec, Canada!
