Over 400 year in the making, Québec City is a place where old meets new. As the oldest city in Canada, its heritage holds a richness that can’t be experienced anywhere else, as can be seen as you walk down the cobbled streets of Old Québec. Past meets present as you leave the old town and experience the deep and varied culture that lives in this great city. There is no end to the wonderful things to see and do in Québec City.

Old Québec is where it all began. A lot has changed since the first settlers arrived in 1608, and now this once bustling harbour town is the site of some extraordinary arts and culture.  Artisans fill streets lined with specialty shops and performers clamour for attention. The modern is muted by battlements that once kept the French community safe, but now act as a historic site that draws the attention of thousands.  Art lovers will rejoice at the site of the open-air art gallery, Rue du Trésor, where one can enjoy the local talents at a leisurely pace.

When you step onto the streets of Montreal, you never know what to expect. There could be artisans sporting their wares, performers showing their talents or just friendly passers-by, but one thing is for certain, this beautiful city on the coast of the St. Lawrence River is just asking to be explored. 

Built at the site of what was originally named Ville-Marie in the 17th century, Old Montreal grew rapidly to accommodate all of the people that were passing through. Today, Old Montreal stands as a monument to the old port town that has spawned such a place of beauty and culture as exists in Montreal today. 

It may be the second smallest province with less than 1 million residents, but don’t let size fool you. Nova Scotia has more to offer than any one person could explore in a lifetime.

The one thing you have to do when you get to Nova Scotia is eat; and I don’t mean burgers and fries. When you’re in Nova Scotia, the only real option is local fare. That means a lot of seafood. No part of the province is more than 67 km from water, which means that a lot of the local food comes from its largest resource; the ocean.
