DK Travel : Montréal and Québec City

Situated on the mighty St Lawrence River, the sights of these two cities captivate visitors with their history, culture and festivity. Not only were they both major players in the foundation of Canada but their portside locations have kept them at the heart of international commerce, resulting in a harmonious blend of heritage architecture and exciting modern venues that charm all those who come to Canada’s “belle province.”

Galerie Clarence Gagnon

Conveniently located across from Marché Bonsecours, this well-stocked gallery not only sells fine artworks but also provides evaluation, consultation, restoration, authentication and framing services.
Galerie le Chariot

A wonderful Inuit art collection awaits souvenir hunters in this gallery on Place Jacques-Cartier. One of the first businesses to preserve buildings in the Old Town, Galerie Le Chariot has treasures to suit all budgets.
Galerie Michel-Ange

A reliable art gallery featuring many fine Québécois and international painters, located in a heritage house built in 1864.
Galeries de la Capitale

One of the busiest shopping malls in the country with over 250 stores offering fashion, electronics, groceries, books, furniture and more. A theme area for children includes a ferris wheel, roller coaster and skating rink.
Galliano’s

Locals flock to this lively bar in the center of Vieux-Montréal, where atmosphere reigns and draft beer is on tap. Moderately priced wines too. There’s also an excellent table d’hôte Italian menu.
Gay Village

Montréal is a gay-friendly city, so much so that one of the most festive parades each year belongs to this expanding community. Located between rue St-Hubert and avenue Papineau, the Village is alive with activity around the clock. Restored homes mix with contemporary condominiums to create a diverse and exciting area attracting visitors from around the globe – Montréal will even be the site of Gay Games VII in 2006.
Gibby’s

One of Canada’s finest eateries, with a courtyard garden and a menu highlighted by oysters and steak.
Grand canyon des Chutes Sainte-Anne

Only 20 minutes outside the city are a series of waterfalls contained in a narrow canyon. A breathtaking sight.
Grand Prix du Canada

Formula One Racing is the largest event of the year for Montréal, held at Ile Notre-Dame’s Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, named after the French Canadian racing driver. However the event’s future is now uncertain due to a dispute about cigarette advertising.
Grand Prix Formula One Racing

The planet’s fastest drivers have toured the Circuit-GillesVilleneuve each June on Ile-Notre-Dame (see Grand Prix du Canada).
