Things to Do in Quebec

Much like New England, Quebec is an ideal vacation destination year-round. The Laurentian Mountains are popular spots in both summer and winter, with scenic hiking trails and beautiful skiing slopes. Montreal is one of the most unique cities in the world, with gourmet five-star cuisine at every turn, an exciting nightlife atmosphere, and deep roots in French Canadian history.

Further north, the capital of Quebec City boasts an uncanny European charm right in North America. As the only walled city north of Mexico, Quebec City creates an old atmosphere for travelers while simultaneously proving it is a city on the rise. The holiday season is becoming an increasingly popular time of year to visit Quebec City, as the year’s first snow blankets the narrow, winding streets downtown.

Quebec’s borders reach northward nearly to the Arctic Circle, providing plenty of opportunities to explore. Venture up to Lake Manicouagan to witness one of Canada’s strangest natural wonders. The lake is in the shape of a ring, with a mountain—Mount Babel—rising from the center. It is affectionately referred to as “The Eye of Quebec,” and provides many opportunities for hiking and sightseeing.
