OVERVIEW
There’s something special about exploring a city that is delightfully decked out for the holidays. It would be hard to find a more perfect pair of Christmas towns to visit during our North American winter than Montréal and Québec City.
Steeped in French-Canadian ambiance with charming historic centers harkening back to an Old World era, both cities go all out during the winter season and are often featured on must-visit Yuletide travel lists.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Montréal Ethnic Food Tour – an optional activity for early arrivals featuring a Christmas-themed “foodie” tour and walk starting in the historic district and continuing by coach through dozens of ethnic neighborhoods inviting us to sample an astonishing diversity of delicious fare
- Train trip to Québec City – a business class ride, including lunch, that takes us across the province of Québec to what is considered by many to be the most “European” city in North America
- Historic Québec Walk – an all-day guided event exploring charming Québec City, founded in the early 17th century by Samuel de Champlain and retaining, in areas such as Petit-Champlain and Château Frontenac, the ambiance of an Old-World French town
- Québec City free day – with time for shopping, or window-shopping, at Christmas markets, or consider joining us for an optional snowshoe hike outside town in Jacques Cartier National Park
