Québec is quickly becoming the best way to experience a European vacation without leaving the continent. The province’s historic neighborhoods, unhurried cafe culture, and centuries-old architecture make it an attractive destination for travelers.
Montreal: The European City
Montreal boasts walkable historic neighborhoods, an unhurried cafe culture, and majestic, grand dame hotels. The city’s recent restaurant recognition adds another layer to an experience that already draws visitors. The Fairmont Reine Elizabeth, a landmark hotel, offers a luxurious stay and a restaurant, Rosélys, that takes local ingredients seriously.
Québec City: Europe without the Airfare
Québec City feels like a piece of Europe settled along the St. Lawrence River. The city’s historic center is unlike anything else in North America, with stone buildings, narrow streets, and church spires. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, a defining landmark, offers a luxurious stay and a restaurant, Le Champlain, that sources entirely from local producers.
