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.”

Marché Bonsecours

Built on the site of John Molson’s British American Hotel, this greystone Neo-Classical building has a rich history. It once housed the Parliament of Canada, Montréal’s temporary City Hall and was even a theatrical venue for Charles Dickens when he acted at the Theatre Royal in 1842. Today it is home to a smart shopping center, and its plethora of designer boutiques, art exhibitions and souvenir shops attract a continuing influx of visitors under its shining dome (see Marché Bonsecours, Montréal).
Marché Bonsecours, Montréal

This beautiful Neo-Classical domed structure was once home to Canada’s parliament but is today used variously as a produce market, art gallery, concert venue, reception hall and shopping mall. The symmetrically designed gem of Vieux-Montréal features a Greek Revival portico and cast-iron columns made in the early 1800s (see Marché Bonsecours).
