Which Canadian City is best to visit?

It all boils down to your personal interests.

Quebec City is the perfect choice if you're most interested in history, culture and cuisine.

The Old City of Quebec is over 400 years old and the only walled city left in North America.

I personally prefer it to Old Montreal.

If you want to feel like in you're in Europe, enjoy narrow cobblestone streets and lovingly preserved buildings, great food, and hearing everyone talking French then taking a tour in a caleche (a horse drawn, open-topped carriage) is definitely for you.

If you want modern action and big city excitement, however, then Toronto is your best option.

It's basically Canada's version of New York City.

The view from the CN Tower gives you an idea of how big it is: http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2626940-Downtown_T...

(The CN Tower is a must-see tourist attraction. There's observation decks, a section with glass floors, a revolving restaurant and more.)

Like New York is for America, Toronto is our biggest city, a major financial capital, and so multicultural that going from restaurant to restaurant and neighbourhood to neighbourhood is like take taking a trip around the world without leaving North America.

(Toronto's so multicultural that if you dial 9-1-1 in an emergency they'll respond in your choice of 400+ languages.)

It's internationally known for its shopping, nightlife, entertainment, live events, and attractions.

So if you want modern, hip and happening then Toronto is the place to go.

I've been to Quebec City back in May on a school trip and it was a pretty awesome trip to say the least, I mean it has alot of history and it has some historic landmarks.. however if your going on vacation there don't expect alot of beaches since basically it's only good to visit for the landmarks and nothing more.

About 3 years ago I went to Toronto and it was pretty breathtaking, while I didn't see alot of landmarks I did see the CN Tower for the first time from a distance and it was amazing that a landmark like that you could even see from a distance and still be blown away by.. Toronto is also a pretty safe city as is any other city but there are some dangerous spots you should avoid at night time.. If you can just try to stay with people you know or if your not bringing people just be safe at night time because you never know what might happen.

I was in Montreal but only for like 3 hours for a train transfer and while I didn't see anything I did happen to see the Victoria Bridge which is an awesome piece of history as it was built back in the 1860s but like Quebec City don't expect alot of beaches and it's basically a place where it's only for the scenary and the sports but nothing more really.

I think it all depends on the person really but if I were you I'd go to Toronto because there you know that everything is in English and you won't have to worry about remembering French and you can still have a good time.. For City Tours my answer would be Quebec City and there it's almost all French like Montreal but some people do speak English if you really can't understand them.

What I suggest is to make 2 stops, as you have 3 days to visit. Montreal and Quebec city are a 2.5 hours drive... so why not visit both places? As per the language, it is not hard to be understood with only English in Montreal, but in Quebec City it might. However, just try your best: people here do not mind speaking in English with someone who's trying to speak French, but do mind when someone implies he should be served in English.

There are great tourism opportunity in both cities. In Montreal, Old Montreal and the Vieux-Port are a great starter. Plus, if you visit during the summer, you might be able to catch an outdoor festival, which are really appreciated by the tourists. And if you're into shopping, you should visit downtown on Ste-Catherine street or St-Denis. And there are great restaurants, bars and grills! In Quebec, there are great tourists spot too, more historic though. The Plaine d'Abraham and the boardwalk are the main attractions in my opinion.

In brief, my suggestion is a 2-day-in-Montreal-1-day-in-Quebec trip!

If you want a great dining experience, you can't really beat Montréal, especially in summer. The choice of bars, restos, cafés and other outlets is huge, especially on St Denis. There is plenty to see in this metropolis, though in the height of summer the temperatures can be very extreme!

Québec City is better for the historical minded, or people who prefer a more tranquil life when on holiday. Being anglophone won't be a problem, as there are huge numbers of tourists there and the locals are fairly bilingual- though they will thank you for trying your French!

I live near Montréal, and would recommend Québec city over my locale any day. It's quieter, and yet reasonably priced even off season. It may not be the cultural hub of Canada, but it has its share of events and culture, and the main thing that sells it to me, is the fact it is slightly further North than Montréal, and the climate in summer is slightly cooler.

Maybe combine the two? Stay in Montréal and take a day trip to QC via train or the very affordable Orleans Express?

For the best Canadian experience Quebec city, Montreal or Ottawa. Toronto is a great city of North America but I wouldn't recommend it for a distinctively Canadian experience.

Definatly go the west. The mountains are very beautiful! You should definatly visit Vancouver. It's a beautiful city there is so much to do! There are so many nice places to just walk around like Stanley park,Chinatown etc. Go up to the Vancouver lookout for amazing views of the city,mountains and waterfront. Also visit the Metrotown mall in Burnaby. Also make sure you visit Victoria and go to the butchart gardens and also take the trip up to the town of Whistler. If you have time I would suggest renting a car and driving to both Edmonton and Calgary as well. West Edmonton mall has alot to do it has an indoor amuesement park,water park and over 800 stores. The city of Edmonton has lots of good shopping not just at the mall but around the city. If you visit Calgary make sure to go to the Calgary tower for views of the city,surrounding plains as well as the mountains in the distance. Also be sure to visit the Calgary zoo.

With its mountain foundation and urban beaches, Vancouver has the rightly received standing of being one of the very wonderful towns on the planet, with hotelbye you could have the chance to see this amazing city. One of many places you'll need to see in Vancouver is the Downtown Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver is beautifully situated on a peninsula in the Strait of Georgia bounded to the south by the delta of the Fraser River and to the north by way of a strong fiord reaching far inland. Here you can even begin to see the frequently snow-covered stages of the Coast Mountains. Stanley Park is one of the very most visited parks. Is really a lavish Peninsula Park of enormous trees nearby to Downtown Vancouver. A flat seawall path encircles the natural space, and many readers take the time to discover on base or by bicycle. Inland, the park offers a lot of things to do, and guests may invest a full time exploring attractions which range from the totem rods at Brockton Point to the west coast sea life at the Vancouver Aquarium. Magnificent views certainly are a normal through the entire park.
