Ottawa vs. Quebec?

Travel Info
I have 5 days to spend in Canada. I can either go to Ottawa or Quebec City. Which city would anyone recommend over the other and why? My wife and I enjoy architecture, and just the feel of being in a great city, and most of all GOOD FOOD! To give you an idea, we have been to Halifax, NS, and thought it was just OK. Our favorite cities are Munich, Prague, and Edinburgh in Europe. I like London, she didn't, we hated Zurich. Hope it helps. Thanks.

Travel Tips

I live in Ottawa and I love it. You'd have a wonderful time visiting the Parliament buildings, various museums including the Museum of Civilization and the Museum of Nature, touring parts of the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers as well as the Rideau Canal. As well as being the nation's capital, Ottawa is also a university town with the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. When I visited Austen Texas, I was reminded (a bit) of Ottawa.

Quebec City includes the oldest walled city in North America. Part of the old city is actually managed by Parks Canada it is such a treasure. Inside the walled city are beautiful old 16th and 17th century buildings, and lots of wonderful restaurants and shops. Quebec City has a different atmosphere from any other city I've ever visited ... wonderful.

I'd choose Quebec City, perhaps because I don't live there. If money isn't an issue, you could fly from one city to the other for a day.
