Québec City and Beyond, Canada

Why: European charm without hopping the pond.

Tasty treat: Maple taffy made from freshly tapped syrup.

Top outing: Watching history unfold as you navigate the ramparts encircling North America's only walled city.

Where to stay: Perched atop the Old City at the elegant Hôtel Cap Diamant, where you'll be lulled to sleep by the sound of trotting horses drawing carriages below.

Don't leave without: A jaunt to the countryside of Ile d'Orléans, with its rolling orchards and 17th-century farmhouses.
Don't miss: Chilling out with a drink at the city's Ice Hotel, made entirely of ice and snow.
