Destination overview

Nature, history and a one-of-a-kind culture make Canada’s largest province a compelling destination.

Located in Eastern Canada, Quebec is famed for being a predominantly French-speaking province, with rustic European architecture and idyllic cobblestone streets. Quebec is not only the largest province in Canada, it’s also one of the most popular.

As a city, Quebec City is irrefutably unique thanks to its French heritage, walled-city charm and seductive arts scene.

Diversity is a huge drawcard for Quebec, as visitors can immerse themselves in the rich, lively metropolises of Quebec City and Montreal before exploring other parts of the province that offer a slower pace of life alongside an abundance of quintessential Canadian nature. The unmissable sight of Montmorency Falls Park is located just outside Quebec City and boasts a waterfall that stands one and a half times taller than Niagara, while the jagged coasts of the Gaspé Peninsula serve up breathtaking views that cannot be rivalled.

Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a beautiful example of architecture, as the walled city plays host to a bounty of churches, chapels and historic attractions. Likewise, Old Montreal boasts a European aesthetic, while the winding cobblestone streets are ripe for exploring either by foot or by bike.

If you’re visiting in winter, ski resorts abound in the Laurentian Mountains in Southern Quebec, just an hour’s drive from Montreal. The majestic mountains, festive villages and sweeping forestry combine to create a Canadian winter wonderland that deserves a place on your bucket list.
