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.”

  • Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré

    This granite basilica, built between 1923– 63, features 240 stained-glass windows and a gleaming mosaic (see Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré).

  • Come here for incredible views of Ile d’Orléans, the St Lawrence River, Mont Sainte-Anne and the South Shore.

  • The original B&B network founded in 1980 offers inspected rooms with a wide choice of accommodations.

  • Amassing 80 different host homes, organizers Bob and Mariko arrange rooms for travelers in the central neighborhoods of Montréal near major attractions, shopping, restaurants and transportation hubs.

  • Along the commercial thoroughfare from Montréal International Airport Dorval, visitors are shuttled here free of charge around the clock. Standard hotel comforts and an inexpensive option for travelers on a budget.

  • Celtic music, home-brewed beer as well as imports mix well with the multicultural ambiance.

  • This hip micro-brewery pub serves up creamy house-brewed beer as well as many other quality drinks.

  • It is rare to see birds from the northern and southern hemispheres in one place, but in this unusual exhibit animals from the Arctic, Antarctic, Tropics, Laurentian and St Lawrence marine habitats are housed under one roof in a controlled setting resembling their natural surroundings (see Biodome).

  • An architectural centerpiece created for Expo ’67, the dome now acts as an Ecowatch Centre and a museum dedicated to the St Lawrence River and Great Lakes.

  • This bistro serves excellent boeuf Bourguignon and médaillon de cerf aux Calvados (venison with apple brandy).
