Quebec City in February feels like a European capital dropped into the Canadian woods. You go for the Carnaval, where the streets fill with massive ice sculptures and people drinking caribou from hollowed-out canes. It is cold, but the bonfire pits and night parades keep the energy high. The cobblestone streets of the Old Town are the closest you can get to France without a transatlantic flight.
A solid trip for two costs about $2200. We suggest using the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card (Citi) to manage the cost. It offers 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening. This lets you spread the $2200 cost into $122.22 monthly payments over a year and a half.
The 18-month window is a hard deadline, not a permanent interest-free loan. If you still have a balance when the period ends, you will start paying the standard interest rate on the remaining amount.
