Looking for a summer getaway that you’ll never want to come back from? Here are the top reasons why you should visit the French-Canadian province of Quebec, starting with its capital.

It’s Going To Be Hot

When people think of Canada, they often think of snow. Yes, the winters are undeniably cold but in summer the weather is perfect. It’s not too humid but you’ll struggle not to get a tan.

There Are Tonnes Of Festival

In summer, there is a tonne going on. There are all kinds of festivals and the best part is that most of them are free. From jazz to comedy to the international firework festival, you’ll be occupied most evenings without spending a dime.

The People Are Lovely

It is a well-known fact that Canadians are some of the loveliest people on the planet but the people of Montreal have a special kind of warmth. If you ever need help, all you need to do is ask.

It’s Close To NYC

Montreal is only a six-hour bus ride from NYC. Flying into Quebec tends to be a lot cheaper than flying into the Big Apple, so why not stop by Montreal first? The only problem is, you won’t want to leave.

Poutine

If you go to Montreal, you have to try the Quebec delicacy, poutine. La Banquise is open 24 hours and there will almost always be a queue of people outside.
