Pros: A Beautiful old city with great food, architecture and people Cons: Easy to get lost
The recent venture to Montreal was fabulous. Montreal is one of the great cities of the continent. There was some debate about whether or not to make the effort to visit Quebec City. It is only two and a half hours from Montreal. I was intrigued...
Pros: Pretty city which is also unique - a touch of Europe 'at home'. Cons: Can be cold so just be prepared. You may also have to speak some French!
