Quebec City's skyline just doesn't compare to anything else in North America. It's in a category of it's own. I have yet to visit but it's at the top of my list
Edit: Let me rephrase that... Quebec City doesn't compare to anything else in North America, period. Both skyline and street level.
Agreed!
Ever seen something so beautiful that it made you cry? This video did it for me:

Great shot. Despite the absense of the ubiquitous Chateau Frontenac. Really gives a sense of the old/new, upper/lower, etc. in QC, one of my favorite cities.

Completely agree. It illustrates how the topography greatly influenced the development of the city.
