Québec truly feels like a country within a country, a distinct place of francophone linguistic and cultural identity within greater Canada. Québec's embrace of terroir, its language, and its passion for everything from winter snow to wine to gastronomy, is something else that encompasses both distinctly North American and European identities.

Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, is walkable and safe. Stroll the cobblestone streets of the only fortified city north of Mexico and explore its gorgeous outdoors nearby. Its history, friendly vibe, and myriad attractions make it a stand‑out travel destination throughout the year.

To escape the bustling city, take a stroll through Mount Royal Park, set atop the mountain after which the city is named. After climbing to the top, you can admire fantastic views over the city’s skyscrapers and monuments below, before settling down in a restaurant to savour some authentic Montreal cuisine. Don’t miss French-inspired options like the Breton pastry kouign amann, or get a taste for Montreal’s Haitian population by trying griot - a marinated pork shoulder that tastes like it’s straight from the Caribbean isles.

While foodies will be happy in this vibrant city, there are also plenty of sights to tempt culture-vultures. Head to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to explore Canadian art or wander the tranquil Montreal Botanical Garden, while if you’re ready for a day of thrills, La Ronde is an extensive theme park on nearby St. Helen’s Island.
