Apart from Quebec City the province of Quebec has many more attractions to offer the tourist.

The biggest city, Montreal, although suffering the usual urban traffic problems still has some stylish buildings old and new, excellent museums such as the Museé des Beaux-Arts, a huge and diverse Botanical Gardens encompassing 31 specialised gardens (Chinese, Japanese etc), fantastic eating all around ( especially the Jean-Talon street market).

 

The Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal, one of the city's most impressive attractions.
by CTC

The interior of Basilique Notre-Dame is an outstanding example of over-the-top church baroque and totally worth the small entry fee, while Vieux-Montreal (Old Montreal), though small is a very pleasant and tranquil place for a day's strolling, beside the river with cobbled streets, interesting historic buildings, little shops, cafés and restaurants. Of course it cannot measure up to Old Quebec City!
