Stretching from the US border in the south to the subarctic zone in the north, the Canadian province<br />

of Québec is as fascinating as it is vast. With French as its official language and some of the best<br />

cities in Canada to visit, you need to add it to your next Canadian adventure.<br />

Québec City<br />

This old and venerable fortified city sits on the wide and<br />

beautiful St Lawrence River, the artery that connects<br />

the Atlantic Ocean to Canada and beyond. It’s a UNESCO<br />

World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist<br />

destinations in the country.<br />

Feeling more like a quaint European destination than a<br />

North American one, Québec City is fiercely proud of its<br />

French population and language, so you can expect to<br />

hear it being spoken more than English.<br />

Montmorency Falls Park<br />

Just outside Québec City is one of<br />

the country’s most amazing natural<br />

spectacles. Higher than Niagara Falls<br />

and with a death-defying suspension<br />

bridge spanning the top, it’s a<br />

beautiful place to visit – so long as<br />

you like heights.<br />

From some angles, it looks like the falls are in the middle<br />

of the wilderness, but you’ll be pleased to know they’re<br />

practically in the suburbs! It’s an ideal place for hiking<br />

and, if you’re an adrenaline junky, there’s even a zipline.<br />

Hôtel de Glace<br />

In English, this translates to The Ice Hotel. In a country<br />

that’s no stranger to cold weather, it might not be so much<br />

of a surprise that you can stay somewhere made from<br />

a massive 500,000 tonnes of ice and snow. Everything<br />

from the ornate staircases to the beds are made from<br />

frozen water.<br />
