Montreal
#5 in Best Places to Visit in Canada
Montreal is a city of juxtaposition: Skyscrapers rub elbows with Old Montreal’s 17th-century architecture while the familiar sounds of English intermingle with the foreign buzz of French. Visit Old Montreal to get a taste of Europe (think: beautiful architecture and cobblestone streets), then head to modern attractions, such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. If you’re visiting during the warmer months, don’t miss out on the Montreal Botanical Garden or panoramic views of the city from atop Mount Royal Park.
Quebec City
#6 in Best Places to Visit in Canada
A trip to Europe may not be in your budget, but a visit to Quebec City could be. This Canadian city charms its visitors with its picturesque centuries-old buildings that make up Old Québec – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meanwhile, the aromas of freshly baked bread and brewing espresso fill the cobblestone streets of the Quartier Petit-Champlain with the essence of Paris. Once you’ve gotten your fill of the city, take a trip to Montmorency Falls Park to marvel at its 272-foot-tall waterfall.
