Quebec Travel Tips
Much of Quebec's geography is breathtaking. Canada's largest province, a vast territory three times the size of France, encompasses windswept Arctic tundra in the north; rich, rugged, wild boreal forests in the middle; lush, rolling farmland in the south; and convoluted seascapes in the east.
Montreal well deserves its international reputation as a happening, hip amalgam of culture, style, diversity and unqualified presence. Captivating, historic Quebec City is easily the country's most European-flavored destination.
