The #2 top rated thing to do in Quebec City isn't really in the concrete jungle, it's just on the outskirts after a bus takes you to the end of the line. Mortmorency Falls sounds like a poor man's Niagara on paper, but in reality it's almost just as impressive. A very agreeable entrance fee grants access to a spectacular patch of woodland and half a dozen viewing platforms for a mesmerizing waterfall. There was even a dedicated 'get wet here zone' where the mist from the falls would drench you in seconds... So if course we did that! It was a long climb back up to the top though, 487 steps to be exact, but totally worth it for one of the most memorable parts of our holiday.
Just opposite this site of outstanding natural beauty was a McDonald's. My first North American taste of the golden arches was only a coffee and a muffin, had to be done at some point though during our visit.
