Quebec stands apart from the rest of Canada, offering a distinctly European flavour wrapped in North American scale and natural beauty. From Montreal’s vibrant cultural scene and unexpected adventures like river surfing on the St Lawrence to Quebec City’s cobblestone streets and frozen winters, this French-speaking province rewards travellers who venture beyond Toronto and Vancouver. Whether you’re exploring the underground archaeology of Pointe-à-Callière, discovering why Montreal arguably deserves the title of Canada’s best city, or watching black bears in the forests near Quebec City, these guides provide the practical insights you need.
Montreal offers the perfect blend of old-world charm in Vieux Montreal and contemporary energy in Centre-Ville, with accommodation recommendations to suit different budgets and neighbourhood preferences. Meanwhile, Quebec City serves as a living museum of French colonial influence in North America, complete with the dramatic spectacle of Montmorency Falls nearby. From quirky wildlife encounters in Duchesnay Forest to understanding how French culture shaped an entire continent, these articles help you explore Quebec’s unique identity — a place where European sophistication meets Canadian wilderness, and where speaking French is the norm, not the exception.
