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.”

Moe’s Deli & Bar

A fabulous deli-chain, this is the best spot to stock up for a picnic in nearby Parc Olympique. It’s also a sports bar attracting a crowd of regulars for hockey and baseball games.
Moishe’s

This steakhouse has been attracting businessmen for years with their steaks topped with dill pickles.
Mont Owl’s Head

This dramatically positioned family ski destination is set above Lake Memphrémagog and is tied with Mont Orford (see Parc National du Mont-Orford) as Québec’s highest vertical drops.
Mont Sainte-Anne

A sensational outdoor playground 40 km (25 miles) east of Québec City, the mountain is one of the most popular destinations for world-class skiing, paragliding, mountain biking or golfing at the 18-hole Le Grand Vallon course. With over 200 km (125 miles) of hiking trails, which double in the winter as paths for snowshoeing, dog-sledding and cross-country skiing, Mont Sainte-Anne defines perfectly the four-season personality of the province.
Mont Sutton

Since it opened in 1960, Mont Sutton has been a favorite with downhill skiers due to its superior slopes.
Mont Tremblant

This is a fantastic place to visit when in Montreal. Its about an hours drive away and the drive up there itself is spectacular. Once there, an abundance of scenery, activities such as the luge ride, panoramic cable car, plenty of places to eat and drink. We visited in the summer, but I guess in the winter is when it really takes off as a ski resort. But a great place to visit all year round!
Montérégie

To reach this huge region of plains, forests and history, drive across the Pont Champlain following the signs for highway 10 eastward. Then take highway 133 (also called Chemin des Patriotes after the soldiers who fought the British here in 1837) toward Sorel, the fourth oldest city in Canada. Boat trips are possible around the town’s many islands. Of major note in the region, which is noted for its apple orchards and cider-making, is Fort Chambly in Saint-Denis. This well-preserved 18th-century fortress was built to defend the French from both Dutch and British attack. It is one of many similar historic forts found in the area.
Montréal Air Show

Each May, pilots stage a show of synchronized flying and daredevil acrobatics.
Montréal Alouettes Canadian Football

Winner of the 2002 Grey Cup, the Montréal Alouettes play at the Percival Molson Stadium.
Montréal Impact Soccer

Montréal’s Impact is the city’s main soccer team.
