A trip to Canada is not complete without spending time in Québec City. As a UNESCO world heritage treasure, Québec City is the most European city in North America and considered one of the best destinations in Eastern Canada. In the province of Québec, famous for our French Canadian culture, St. Lawrence River, boreal forest and Laurentian mountains. We love that Québec City is one of the most famous destinations in Canada, with its Château Frontenac, authentic historic old city, and magical winter wonderland. It’s also home to one of the best winter festivals in Canada, Carnaval de Québec. #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityvacation #tripinspired #city #tripaway #canada #canadatravel #quebec #easylife#ontheroad

he sight of winding cobblestone streets and towering cathedrals; the sound of French pleasantries and tourists' "Oohs;" the smell of fresh-baked bread and pungent cheese; the taste of creamy cafe lattes and buttery croissants. All your senses agree: You're in France. But they're wrong: You're in Québec. Québec City – the capital of the Canadian province, Québec – dwelled in the shadow of its neighbor, Montréal, for a long time, but the 2008 celebration of its 400th birthday catapulted Québec City back into the spotlight. Since then, travelers have flocked here to experience this UNESCO World Heritage site's charm for themselves. As the birthplace of New France, Québec City continues to uphold the culture of its motherland. Upon passing through the fortified walls of Old Québec, you'll discover a world straight out of a European painting: 17th- and 18th-century buildings house bakers, bistros and boutiques, while cobbled squares are drowned by a sea of cafe tables. And around every corner, a piece of Québec City's rich heritage awaits discovery. #naturalwonders#culturalattractions#themeparks#nationalpark

I could have easily and contentedly wiled away my last full day in Montreal last October with more city frolicking, had I not gotten the itch: the undeniable urge to get out, shake things up, and up the excitement gauge in my life. It’s not often enough that I get to escape city life for a 4-wheeled adventure. Renting a Zipcar for the day in NYC ends up costing about $140, otherwise I have to schlep to/from LaGuardia Airport via 2 subway trains and a bus to spend about half of that on a regular car rental. I just can’t justify the inflated price or the heartache and hassle of either rental option in New York. But while traveling, there’s another variable at play when I contemplate a splurge: the ‘now or never’ factor, i.e. I’m here now. Who knows if or when I’ll ever be back. Or, loosely translated: YOLO. I was in Montreal for the first time in 28 years, during prime foliage season – when was I going to have the chance again to go wine tasting and leaf peeping in Quebec’s Eastern Townships region? Uh, likely never. It was settled: a mini-roadtrip through Quebec was happening! #naturalwonders#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Soif, a hidden gem nestled in a former burger business in Hull, is owned by one of the world's finest sommeliers yet remains strangely beneath the radar in the Ottawa area. Véronique Rivest's natural-leaning wine selection is a winner, which comes as no surprise. Escargots and ricotta gnocchi in tomatillo soup are two examples of the menu's French and Latin American influences, but there are also allusions to Canada, such as the bison tartare. Soif is offering take-home dinners and virtual wine tastings now that the dining room is closed.

Chef Marysol Foucault delights Ottawans and Gatineauois with a three-pronged combo of exceptional baked goods, lunches, and brunches on a quiet residential street in Gatineau. Crowds queue for dishes like her souffle-on-the-outside, flan-on-the-inside Dutch baby with slow-cooked pork belly, aged cheddar, and apple, which is both homey and inventive. Be prepared to wait unless you arrive early or late, as the facility is modest, reflecting Foucault's belief that great food may come in small containers.

Old Quebec is the only walled city north of Mexico, the oldest in North America. With over half a millennium of history, the architecture in Old Quebec is some of the oldest, and most astounding in Canada. Enjoy the mix of heritage, culture, architecture and art. Home to cobblestone streets and the iconic Château Frontenac, as well as the world famous winter carnival, Quebec City is sure to fascinate and delight visitors of all ages. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Le Centre Eaton de Montreal, also known as Montreal Eaton Centre, not only sets the benchmark but is the core of Montreal’s shopping landscape. You’ll be able to shop at all your favourite stores such as Uniqlo, Decathalon, and Sephora amongst many others. This place is also home to Time Out Market - a collection of cuisines carefully selected by the editors of Time Out, a media company renowned for curating the best in different cities. When you’re done after a day of shopping and eating delicious meals, take a walk through Microhabitat, the agricultural garden comprising of 30 pots of fine herbs and seasonal fruits and vegetables located on the rooftop. #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

While I love adventures, the Outaouais region has so much more to offer. In the last few years, the City of Gatineau has been investing in its art scene in order to revitalize its downtown core and turn dingy grey walls into beautiful art canvases.Within a 2km radius, you can discover not only some amazing pieces of art, but also checkout the Canadian Museum of History and take in the best views of the Canadian Parliament from behind the museum. On a nice sunny day, why not stop by Juliano's Gelato on Laurier Boulevard in front of the History Museum to get some delicious sorbet or Gelato.While Gatineau continues to invest in its art scene, I am so impressed by the transformation that is going on. Every year, something new is added to the city's landscape. Streets like Laval are now emerging from a major transformation and the food offering has probably never been greater! I look forward to explore . #summervacation #summervacation

This hotel located in Canada was built in 2001. The Ice Hotel attracts the attention of visitors from all over the world. The De Glace hotel building resembles a castle made of ice and snow. Because this hotel is made of snow, you can only stay every winter, around January to March. The hotel will be closed in the summer. The hotel which has a large dome with 44 rooms and suites is equipped with fireplace, café, bar, meeting room, karaoke and ballroom facilities. Wouldn't it be interesting to spend the night at this hotel, accompanied by a polar atmosphere complete with a polar bear accompanying each room? the infrastructure is very unique, so part of you must visit this hotel. #uniquehotel#naturalwonders#camping
