QUEBEC'S EUROPEAN FLAVOR
In eastern Canada, Montreal, Quebec's
largest city, is perched on an island in
the Saint Lawrence River. Visiting this
city feels like taking a trip to France
between the French language, culture
and food.
Through Luxury Gold's " Indulgence in
Eastern Canada " eight-day guided tour,
you can see the best of nine cities,
including Quebec City and historic
Montreal. In Quebec City, a local guide
will share with you what makes this area
a UNESCO World Heritage site. Together,
you'll peek into Quebec City's Latin
Quarter, the National Assembly and the
Place-Royale.
In Montreal, the tour gives travelers an
up-close look at how Old Montreal
transformed from a trading post to a
cosmopolitan city. Take a walking tour
past the Notre-Dame Basilica, City Hall,
the historic Bonsecours Market and the
Seaman's Chapel. Then, dine at the
charming Gibbys restaurant, housed in a
200-year-old building in Old Montreal.

neighbor to the north is the world's second-largest

world-renowned chefs, wander along historic cobblestone
streets or all of the above, Canada offers a variety of

York, " is all it takes for you to get excited
for a big city adventure, then consider a
trip to Toronto. Perched along Lake

in Ontario's capital city. First stop, the
Royal Ontario Museum. It's easy to spend
hours wandering through the museum's
40 galleries that contain everything from
dinosaurs to fossils to meteorites.
The metropolis is a famous cultural
melting pot. Whatever your interest-no
matter how obscure-Toronto will deliver.
If you like street art, check out Rush
Lane, aka Graffiti Alley, within the
Toronto Fashion District. Like books?
Visit the Thomas Fisher Rare Book
Library with more than 700,000 volumes.
Into the fashion style of high tops?
Hot-step it over to the Bata Shoe
Museum, the shoe-box-shaped home to
the world's largest collection of shoes.
I suggest staying downtown at the AAA
Three Diamond-designated Westin
Harbour Castle, right on the waterfront.
From here, you can easily access the
city's famous attractions, like the CN
Tower, with its rotating 360-degree
restaurant, and Scotiabank Arena, home
of the Toronto Raptors and Toronto
Maple Leafs.
For the perfect day trip, take the scenic
hour and a half drive to Niagara Falls. As
you stand in awe of the roaring rapids
crashing over the falls, you'll see why the
attraction draws millions of visitors
each year.

next getaway to the Great White North.
THE MARITIMES

settled in Eastern Canada's picturesque
province of Nova Scotia, or New
Scotland. Defined by its fresh, salty air
and quaint fishing villages, the region's
hospitality is still on display today.
