East Coast Wonders

Enter the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto, where the iconic CN tower soars above the streets below – ascend the tower for a city view like no other. An abundance of excellent museums, great public transport, lively bars and a thriving nightlife come together to create a fantastic cosmopolitan metropolis, while a divergence of cultures and cuisines has generated some of the world’s most exceptional eateries, just waiting to be sampled.

Head along the shores of Lake Ontario to the roaring torrent of Niagara Falls, where you’ll stay in a hotel overlooking the cascades. Feel the spray and witness the drama of one of the world’s most impressive natural marvels. Then, for something more tranquil, continue to historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. This self-proclaimed ‘loveliest town in Ontario’ is filled with colourful gardens, cosy cafés and pretty lake views.

Heading north, captivating and cosmopolitan Montréal is your next stop. Take a stroll through Old Montréal’s cobbled streets and admire the romantic architecture, a delightful mix of modern European and North American colonial styles. Check out the heritage churches and the intricate Basilique Notre-Dame, then head to the bars and restaurants of The Main and Rue St-Denis, where there’s a distinct Francophone tone.

Tour vibrant Quebec City and stay at the fairy-tale Château Frontenac, the world’s most photographed hotel. The beautiful old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also worth a look – don’t miss the imposing Citadelle and the impressive Hôtel du Parlement, the most important structure in the city. Quebec is the only walled city north of Mexico, so be sure to walk along the fortifications, which stretch for 4.6km around the town. While you’re in town, have a taste of Quebec’s warm and filling traditional food and locally-made wines.
