Quebec is considered the European province of Canada. Some guides books even describe it as being Europe is little daughter. French is the official language however, in all the major towns and touristic sites English is widely spoken you should have no problem getting by.

Its capital is Quebec City, where you will see the “Assemble National” and all the other government buildings. The old part of the city is the only walled city on the continent north of Mexico and offers a great deal of pubs and restaurant suitable for all kind of budget. You can also visit the “Chateau Frontenac”, one of the most photographed buildings in the country. One of the most popular times to visit the town is February where the winter carnival is taking over all the main areas. Beware the weather can be as low as -30C.

The biggest city of the province is Montreal, also one of the three metropolises of Canada. Montreal is renown for is festive attitude and passion for hockey, if your in town on one of the 82 nights a year where the “Canadiens” is playing do not hesitate on going in one of the many pubs in downtown to take part of this bustling atmosphere.

The city is build around the Mount Royal, Montreal’s biggest park. Adored by joggers and cyclist the mountain offer a lot of activities, soon as the weather allows it, every Sunday you’ll have the Tam-Tam, where all the hip crowd assemble to jam some music, play some ball games and Frisbee. However if the sound of the Tam-Tam does not make you vibe, you can head towards the “île St-Hélène” where at the same time; you will have the “Picnic Électronique”. An electro version of the Tam-Tam that definitely build its reputation over the last few years, check their calendar for the international events. Right next to the picnic, on the same island, you will find “La Ronde”, one the biggest theme park in the country that hosts the international firework competition every Saturdays during the summer.

Whenever you are hungry, the “Plateau” area is a very good option. A small area right next to the Mount Royal contains restaurants and bars that offer international food and great atmosphere.
