If someone blindfolded you, spun you around, and dropped you into the heart of Old Quebec, you’d swear you were in some corner of Europe — perhaps France.

Welcome to Quebec City, where cobblestone streets whisper old stories, and castle-like hotels pierce the sky.

Imagine a place where you can walk from ancient Egypt to Imperial China, from the Inca Empire to medieval Europe — all without buying a plane ticket. Now imagine it’s free. Welcome to the **British Museum**, where more than **eight million artifacts** sit quietly waiting to blow your mind, one mysterious relic at a time.
