Quebec City - History, Charm & Tradition
Quebec City is one of the most beautiful and historic cities in North America. The Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is surrounded by impressive city walls. Stroll along Dufferin Terrace with a view of the iconic Château Frontenac and explore the narrow streets of Petit Champlain. For a touch of adventure, visit the impressive Montmorency Falls, which are taller than Niagara Falls.
Drive on to Charlevoix, a region known for its artists and breathtaking landscapes. Explore picturesque villages like Baie-Saint-Paul, hike in the Parc national des Hautes-Gorges, and sample local flavors along the Route des Saveurs.
Enjoy the panoramic views along the coastal road toward Tadoussac, located at the mouth of the Saguenay River. From May to October, you can spot humpback whales, minke whales, and sometimes even the impressive blue whale during a boat excursion.
The journey continues to Saguenay. Stroll through the charming streets of Chicoutimi, sample blueberry specialties at local markets, and explore the Saguenay Fjord National Park. The park borders the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park and is a haven for whales, belugas, seals, ospreys, beavers, and moose.
In Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, you’ll discover the charm of the Laurentian Mountains. This region borders the Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve and is home to more than 600 deep, cold lakes. The trout is the region’s symbol because the environment is exceptionally favorable for this species.
Exciting facts
Maple syrup is one of Canada’s best-known products and is often associated with traditional sugaring-off activities in the spring, when sap is tapped from the trees.
Did you know that in Quebec, the term “Québécois” is used to refer to the people and culture of French-speaking Quebec, particularly those who identify with the province’s distinct French-speaking heritage, separate from English-speaking Canada?


Historic charm
and modern energy
Ottawa—where tulips bloom in gratitude for freedom
Canada’s capital, Ottawa, is surprisingly diverse. Visit the impressive Parliament Hill, take a boat tour on the Rideau Canal, or explore the ByWard Market District with its boutiques and food stalls. Every spring, the city bursts into color with thousands of tulips, a gift from the Netherlands in gratitude for Canada’s help during World War II. Ottawa is steeped in culture, with museums such as the Canadian Museum of History and the National Gallery of Canada.
From Ottawa, travel to Huntsville, the gateway to Algonquin Provincial Park. Go canoeing on one of the tranquil lakes or hike the Lookout Trail for stunning views. With a bit of luck, you might spot moose or even a black bear in their natural habitat.
No trip through Eastern Canada is complete without a visit to Niagara Falls.
The colossal waterfalls are impressive from the promenade, but the ultimate adventure comes during a boat ride right up to the thundering curtain of water. This is the raw power of nature at its most intense. If you want to get even closer, descend into the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls, where you can feel the water vibrating through the rocks, or walk along the raging rapids during the White Water Walk.

Gaspésie Extension
5 to 7 days
Matane - Gaspé - Baie des Chaleurs - Riviere du Loup
A charming corner of Quebec, where nature reigns supreme
In Gaspé Peninsula National Park, you’ll hike past mountain peaks, caribou, and views that take your breath away. Along the coast lies Gaspé, with cliffs that drop into whale-filled waters and the iconic Cap Gaspé lighthouse. French explorer Jacques Cartier first set foot here, and the region’s highest mountain still bears his name.
On the southern coast of the peninsula lies Baie des Chaleurs. Warm currents, sandy beaches, and fishing villages like Carleton-sur-Mer and Bonaventure, where lobster and crab come fresh from the sea. Rivière-du-Loup, technically just outside the Gaspésie, is the perfect finale and offers a final glimpse of the islands on the St. Lawrence River. Meet friendly locals and let the unspoiled nature, with its extensive hiking trails, slow you down and inspire you.
