From cobblestone streets to historical architecture, there's a lot to love about Québec City.Joey Hadden/Insider
I recently spent one day in Québec City, Québec, during a train trip through Eastern Canada.
I explored Old Québec and stayed at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, a historic luxury hotel.

I recently went to Québec City for the first time. I only had 24 hours in the French-Canadian city, but now I can't wait to go back.

Staying at this hotel also allowed me to marvel at all of the European-style architecture that filled Québec City.

During my short stay, I learned that you can't do Québec City in a day. There are so many grand sights and quaint streets that warrant a much longer trip to properly explore.
