Via Rail from Toronto to Quebec City

Quebec City is recommended Canada multi-centre holiday stop off. A city of delightfully stark, yet virtually seamless contrasts; centuries-old fortification walls lead to chic open-kitchen restaurants, and cobblestone streets give way to bike paths and innovative art institutions.

A wealth of historic sites and neighbourhoods exist here, complemented by panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River and old Québec.

The enchanting Francophone capital of Québec province, and one of the oldest cities in North America, Québec City received a major face lift before its 400th anniversary in 2008. Perhaps more significant than the new boutique hotels, revitalized parks and gleaming cultural centres was the overdue attention the city finally received, which continues to propel it forward.

Québec City is a historic, cultural and culinary centre with the iconic Fairmont Château Frontenac, and a gateway to the great outdoors, the mighty St Lawrence river and whale watching. Winter adrenaline junkies flock here to downhill in a toboggan in excess of 60 miles per hour!

Via Rail from Quebec City to Montreal

Montreal is a highly recommended multi-centre stop off. A city in the Canadian province of Quebec, which is the largest city in the province, the second-largest in the country and the fifteenth-largest in North America.

A determined mixture of French and Canadian, this city's dual personality is reflected in its architecture as well as its population. Drop by Place Ville Marie, Place d'Armes and the beautiful Notre Dame Basilica. Take a walk in the beautiful Jean-Drapeau Parc or a Bateau Mouche down the St Lawrence River.

After all that culture and beautiful buildings, you might be in the mood for a slightly less highbrow pursuit. and what could fit the bill better than shopping?

And as the Canadian Dollar buys you more for your pound than the US dollar, Canada is THE place to shop! Malls include Montréal Eaton Centre, Complexe des Jardins, Le Faubourg Sainte-Catherine and the Place Ville Marie. Wander around Old Montréal for knick-knacks and antiques. Boulevard St Denis is Montréal's Latin Quarter, lined with shops, cafés, bistros and bars.
