A Quebec street just ranked among the most beautiful in the world and it's easy to see why
It's even prettier during Christmas time.

A view of Quebec City.
From Plaza Saint-Hubert to rue Wellington, Montreal is home to some of the coolest streets in the world but the recognition doesn't stop there. Turns out, a street in Quebec City was just listed as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Conde Nast Traveler (CN Traveler) ranked the 71 Most Beautiful Streets in the World and only one Canadian destination made the cut and it's right here in la belle province.
While the streets of Mykonos, Kyoto and San Francisco received some much-deserved love throughout the CN Traveler ranking, a quaint and charming street nestled in Old Quebec shined through.
CN Traveler listed Quebec's very own rue du Petit Champlain as one of the most beautiful in the world, and we can certainly see why.
According to Conde Nast, "the charming, European-inspired street is lined with unique boutiques and bistros (…) [and] is truly enjoyable during any season of the year."
Now, while rue du Petit Champlain is, in fact, well worth visiting any time of year, nothing beats its allure and appeal during the winter season. The iconic Quebec City street is lit up from start to finish with Christmas decorations and lights galore, making it look similar to Santa's very own village.
A summer visit is also worth adding to your seasonal bucket list. With so many shops, boutiques and restaurants to enjoy, it's the ideal street for a romantic moment with that special someone.
Not to mention it's picture-perfect, so get those Instagram feeds ready.
