2026 Quebec Province Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Stepping into Old Québec is as close as you can get to a European getaway without leaving North America. As the only fortified city north of Mexico and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, this historic district offers a dense, walkable journey through 400 years of French and British colonial history. 1️⃣ Fairmont Le Château Frontenac This iconic castle-like hotel dominates the skyline and is widely considered the most photographed hotel in the world. 2️⃣ Quartier Petit Champlain Often called the prettiest pedestrian street in Canada, it features narrow cobblestone lanes filled with local boutiques and bistros. 3️⃣ Dufferin Terrace A massive boardwalk offering panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River. In winter, it hosts a famous historic toboggan run. 4️⃣ Artillery Park You can walk along nearly 4.6 kilometers of preserved walls and ramparts for a unique perspective on the city’s military past. 🥘 Dining & Culture 1️⃣ Traditional Flavors: For a “sugar shack” experience in the city, Restaurant La Bûche is a top-rated choice for modern Quebecois cuisine like bison steak and poutine. 2️⃣ Hidden Gems: Visit the Monastère des Augustines for a serene museum experience or a health-focused meal in a converted 17th-century monastery. 📍Practical Tips 1️⃣ Navigation: The city is split into “Upper Town” and “Lower Town”. To save your legs from the steep Breakneck Steps, take the Old Quebec Funicular for a small cash fee. 2️⃣ Preparation: Wear comfortable walking shoes. The cobblestones are charming but can be brutal on your feet after a full day. I highly recommend a trip to Old Québec for anyone seeking a romantic, history-rich, or culinary-focused vacation. It is a world-class destination that feels magical in every season. #quebec #canadatrip #travel #canada #thingstodo #familytravel #museums #myitinerary #citydaytours #afternoonteatime #LFAngel

📍 Canada Quebec Goblin filming location Winter in Quebec, Canada seems romantic. Especially the last photo is the filming location of the drama Goblin. They say that they filmed the scene where Ji Eun-tak confesses his love to Kim Shin here. 🥰 The original name is Neck-Breaking Stairs, but in the past, people would often fall down after drinking, so they nicknamed it that. 😮 #CanadaTravel #SoloTravel #QuebecTravel #GoblinFilmingLocation #WinterTravel #CityTravel

Quebec, the very place that appeared in the drama Goblin! I went there in the winter. Quebec in winter is like a winter kingdom itself It was fun to find traces of Goblin I really felt the Canadian winter that suits the snow

My first encounter with Shanghai began at the Bund. Only later did I realize that was just the city’s youngest face. Before neon lights and skyscrapers appeared, this land already had its own name: Huating. At that time, it wasn’t a global financial center, just a quiet Jiangnan town growing by the Wusong River. Later, my impression of Shanghai was one of distance: People here walk fast. The subway is crowded, yet few people chat. Neighbors for years might still only nod in passing. “Shanghai people are hard to approach” seems to be the most common and one-sided description outsiders have of this city. But living here, I gradually sensed that beneath the coldness lies a subtle warmth that’s hard to express. The “coldness” of Shanghai people is often not rejection but a sense of boundaries. In a city of over 20 million people, everyone carries their own life. And when you truly need help: The auntie downstairs tells you which hospital is reliable. An elderly neighbor quietly shows you shortcuts only locals know. A small shop that’s been open for decades, where the owner always remembers regular customers’ tastes. Sometimes hearing Shanghai people say, “Nong hao, ala Shanghaining,” can unexpectedly make a stranger feel a bit of warmth and spark a desire to learn more about the Shanghai dialect. Shanghai’s warmth is never fiery. It’s more like a lone lamp in winter: It won’t embrace you first, but it’s always there. Yet it’s in these subtle moments that I suddenly realize: the city is slowly losing its voice. When a dialect gradually fades from daily life, what disappears is not just an accent but a city quietly saying goodbye to its past. The Shanghai dialect has never been just a communication tool: It carries the neighborhood ties in the alleys, the lifestyle in old-style Western houses, and generations of Shanghai people’s understanding of “home.” But today, the Shanghai dialect is slowly fading from the daily lives of “new” Shanghainese: Many children can understand it but can’t use it naturally. To adapt to a bigger world, more people choose to speak Mandarin. This isn’t anyone’s fault. Shanghai’s greatest strength is openness and inclusiveness. From the bustling city by the sea, Shanghai has always been a city that actively embraces: It connects East and West, welcomes people from different regions, and through repeated blending, creates symbols and marks unique to Shanghai. But the other side of inclusiveness: When a city constantly embraces the outside world, could it at some point lose its original character? I once lived in Quebec. What impressed me most there was their protection of the French language. At first, I even scoffed: Isn’t this a bit extreme? Why does a language need to be protected so seriously? Later, I slowly understood: In Quebec, there’s a phrase everywhere: Je me souviens (I remember). They protect not just the language itself but a confirmation of “who we are.” Language is never just a communication tool. It is the carrier of a city’s memory. Old Shanghainese tell the past in the Shanghai dialect, Quebecers insist on French, and both point to the same thing: Don’t let the tide of time wash away your traces completely. And perhaps the most charming part of Shanghai is hidden in these disappearing details. In Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love, some scenes intertwine with the light and shadow of the old city: Chow Mo-wan and Su Li-zhen live in the same old building. The stairs are narrow. The lighting is dim. They meet repeatedly in the stairwell. They don’t embrace. They don’t say much. Many feelings are restrained in silence. What flows slowly through the lens is a flickering yet deeply captivating aura: The color of the cheongsam. The worn old staircase. The ambiguous relationships between neighbors. And a slowness that is becoming rare today. What we miss is not the old buildings or a bygone era but the unique character a city holds onto. Today’s Shanghai is certainly stronger: It has an unparalleled business environment, elites from around the world, countless possibilities—these are the ingredients for greatness. But a city’s true charm shouldn’t be just becoming more like the world. It’s about retaining its own tone after becoming a global city. Suddenly I feel that many people think they already understand Shanghai. A city’s roots are never its skyscrapers or dazzling wealth, because those things will eventually be surpassed. In my view, a city’s identity is more about a language, a posture, a memory. A confidence that, amid the changes of time, can calmly answer “who we are.”

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

Canada 10-Day Self-Drive Tour Guide Vol. 4 Few things can make a city on another continent famous like a K-drama—perhaps only *Memories of the Alhambra* starring Hyun Bin, or *Guardian: The Lonely and Great God* starring Gong Yoo. As our wheels rolled over the breath of autumn, the St. Lawrence River spread out on our right like flowing silk. When the steel cables of the Quebec Bridge sliced through the clouds, the Château Frontenac suddenly emerged from the mist on the opposite bank—its green copper roof like emeralds soaked in dew, and the maple leaf flags hanging from the city walls snapping in the wind at a 45-degree angle. 🗺️ Must-visit route 1️⃣ Emerald crown in the morning light The east side of Dufferin Terrace at 7:30 AM (near the Château Frontenac sign) is empty. As the first golden rays pierce through the clouds, the building's silhouette is gilded, and the maple leaf flags on the city walls begin to write the wind's secret code. 2️⃣ Mirror maze of the St. Lawrence River 3️⃣ French whispers of the red brick walls At the southernmost end of Rue de la Porte, the maple leaves hanging on the ochre-red city walls form a wonderful dialogue with the bronze cannons. When the midday light cuts across at an angle, the moss in the cracks of the brick walls casts mysterious totems. 4️⃣ Cinematic montage of the spiral staircase The wooden spiral staircase on the outside of the castle's east wing (near Auberge Saint-Antoine) is a hidden gem. Remember to look back as you spiral upward. Afternoon sunlight slants in through the stained-glass windows, casting dancing light spots on the steps. 5️⃣ Afternoon tea at Dufferin Terrace Take advantage of the gentlest sunlight after 3:00 PM, sit inside Le Château restaurant (window seats require advance booking), order a maple syrup latte, and watch the red leaves of Île d'Orléans on the opposite bank sway in your cup. What memories has this most romantic castle in North America brought you?

Just beyond the McGill University campus lies a brewpub called "Brutopia." Before the match, you can gaze up at the dinosaur bones inside the campus's Redpath Museum (Canada's oldest natural history museum) and catch students relaxing on the lawns. Step inside the pub, and you'll be greeted by the bold aroma of hops and fresh ale poured straight from the tap. When I caught a game here, a science grad student sitting next to me passionately explained, "Beer fermentation and soccer tactics are exactly alike—it's all about balance." The crowd is a great mix of students and local craft beer aficionados, creating an atmosphere that buzzes with a uniquely academic excitement. I highly recommend this spot because it perfectly captures Montreal's blended Anglo-French culture. Right next to a historic English university, French soccer chants fill the air. Enjoying the World Cup with a craft beer in hand, surrounded by this distinctly multicultural vibe, is a privilege you'll only find in this city. Practical Info: Just a short walk from Peel Station. The area around McGill University is filled with international student apartments, giving the whole neighborhood a vibrant, collegiate feel.

Last year, during my trip to Canada, I took a road trip with my family to Charlevoix, Quebec. We rented a holiday home and enjoyed a wonderful three-day, two-night vacation. Charlevoix is ​​a charming place with friendly people, beautiful scenery, and a unique international atmosphere. If you're planning a trip to Canada, I highly recommend Quebec, especially this lovely, less-traveled city. #Canada #Quebec #Charlevoix

In the city of Blainville, within the Canadian province of Quebec, there are several extensive fruit orchards available for visitors to pay for picking, attracting many nearby residents to spend a pleasant weekend and some travelers to experience it. When we traveled to Canada last year, we followed a local friend to visit one of the fruit orchards - Jude Apple Farm. In addition to apples, there are pears and plums for picking. There are many varieties of fruits in the garden, and the garden covers a vast area. It is simply impossible to taste all the varieties in half a day. So we had to walk around as we pleased, tasting the varieties we happened to encounter. Jude Apple Farm has placed many wooden ladders next to the fruit trees in the garden to facilitate visitors to climb up to pick fruit. There is also a rest area in the garden where visitors can sit and rest or eat fruit or their own snacks when they are tired from picking. Before leaving, visitors can measure the weight of the picked fruits and pay to take them home; if they don't pick their favorite fruits, they can also buy them at the small shop at the door, which also has fresh apple juice and cider available. We bought apples, browns, apple juice and cider and later tasted it and found it super delicious! It was a very interesting experience, the fruit and fruit drinks were also delicious, we spent half a day with my friends in this fruit garden, a pleasant and unforgettable holiday, I really thank my friends for recommending this special program! 🥰🙏🏻 #Canada #Quebec #Blainville #JudeAppleFarm #Fruit Garden

A visit to Saint Joseph’s Oratory is less about sightseeing and more about stillness. Set high above the city, it offers not only a place of spiritual reflection but one of the most breathtaking views in Montreal. What struck me most was the sense of peace that seems to settle over the entire site. Despite its scale and significance, the Oratory feels calm and contemplative, inviting you to slow down and take everything in. Whether inside the vast basilica or walking the surrounding grounds, there’s a quietness that’s difficult to find elsewhere in the city. The view is truly unforgettable. Looking out over Montreal, I watched sunlight break through the clouds in soft beams, casting light across the city in a way that felt almost unreal—like a glimpse of something just beyond the ordinary. It’s the kind of moment that stays with you long after you’ve left. This visit was a highlight not just of my time in Montreal, but of my experience living in Canada in 2024. There’s something about the combination of scale, serenity, and setting that makes it stand out even among the city’s many landmarks. Overall, Saint Joseph’s Oratory feels like a place you don’t just visit—you experience. It’s somewhere I already know I’ll return to one day. #Montreal #SaintJosephsOratory #MontrealViews #CanadaTravel #ExploreCanada #TravelMoments #CityViews #HiddenGems #PeacefulPlaces #SpiritualTravel #Wanderlust #TravelInspiration #BeautifulDestinations #ViewFromAbove #NatureAndCity #TravelReflections #StudyAbroadLife #Canada2024 #MemorableMoments #HeavenOnEarth

It is a place where old-growth forests meet crystal-clear rivers, and where the silence of nature is your constant companion. 🌌 Pristine Solitude: Often described as a "natural retreat," the park is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds of more commercialized tourist spots. 🏔️ Spectacular Summits: Hiking to the top of Mont Chocolat or Mont Saint-Magloire rewards you with breathtaking panoramas across vast, colorful valleys. ❄️ The "Snow Ghosts": In winter, the park transforms into a white wonderland where trees become encased in thick, sparkling ice and snow, creating an almost unreal atmosphere. 🌊 Water Wonders: The Portes de l’Enfer canyon and the translucent waters of Ruisseau du Milieu offer magical spots for summer picnics and refreshing dips in natural pools. 🏕️ Unique Stays: For an unforgettable night, stay in a cozy yurt or pod right in the middle of the woods, where you can wake up to the sounds of the forest. Whether you are backcountry skiing through deep powder or hiking through flamboyant autumn leaves, this park offers a raw, authentic connection to the outdoors that stays with you long after you leave 🩵 #travel #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #myitinerary #canada #canadatrip #LFAngel

If walls could talk, the “Cathedral Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec” would totally spill the juiciest secrets in Canada! 🙌 Nestled right in the heart of Old Québec— a UNESCO World Heritage Site— this landmark isn’t just a church, it’s basically a walk-through timeline of North American history (so iconic). First Impressions: The Golden Sanctuary Vibes ✨ From the outside, it’s all about understated elegance with its classic stone vibes. But step inside… Boom! It’s like opening a treasure chest: Neo-Baroque design everywhere, a massive gold-leaf canopy (“baldachin”) literally floating over the choir, PLUS those stained-glass windows are giving major fairy tale feels. And don’t miss the sanctuary lamp— a legit present from King Louis XIV himself! Must-See Highlights 🌟 The Holy Door: This is the ONLY Holy Door outside Europe and walking through it (when it’s open) is seriously a next-level experience. Whether you’re feeling spiritual or just wanna feel ssed, it’s all about new beginnings. 🔐 The Silent Crypt: Under your feet? Over 900 people laid to rest, including four governors of New France and Saint François de Laval. Kinda spooky, super historic. 🕯️ 🌅 Serene Hideout: Even though it’s a popular spot, the Basilica keeps things chill and peaceful— a sweet escape from the buzzy cobblestone streets outside. 📍 Traveler Tips 💸 Cost: Entry is usually free (score!), but toss in a donation to help keep this gem shining. 🕣 Opening Hours: 6 Rue de Buade, Québec, QC G1R 3Z9. Typically open daily 7am–4pm, but double-check if you’re planning a special visit. 🫂 Beat the crowds: Pop in on a weekday morning if you want that exclusive, zen vibe. 📖 Go deeper: In summer, friendly volunteer guides are around to drop some epic tales and fun facts on the spot! Whether you’re all about history, obsessed with jaw-dropping architecture, or simply need a peaceful moment, the Cathedral Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec is 100% worth adding to your travel bucket list.

Winter in Quebec brings a storybook atmosphere to the city. Snow settles on historic buildings, narrow streets, and stone walls, giving the surroundings a timeless and peaceful feel. The cold air is crisp, and the city moves at a slower, calmer pace. Walking through the old town highlights simple winter scenes — snow-covered rooftops, quiet pathways, and warm lights glowing from cafés and windows. The blend of winter scenery and classic architecture creates a unique charm that feels both cozy and memorable. Quebec in winter offers a gentle journey shaped by snow, history, and quiet moments. 📍 Location: Quebec City, Canada #QuebecCity #WinterTravel #TripMoments #CanadaWinter #HistoricCity #winterescape
