Its European background and modern North American character are set off by a heady blend of history, traditional and contemporary art, and French-language culture to make Québec City a destination like no other. Year after year, travel magazines continually rank the Québec City Area among the world's top destinations.

This, thankfully, is complete fiction. Québec City is proud of its French heritage, as it should be, and while there have been strenuous relationships between the French and the English in the past but those days are over. Today, English visitors are welcomed with open arms.

Is English banned in Quebec? English is not banned in Quebec! Just as in any other province of Canada, its official language may be French, but the English population is accounted for. This means you can speak and be served in Shakespeare's tongue in pretty much any urban setting.

A World-Class Heritage site, vibrant culture and activities galore, local gastronomy and warm hospitality are just some of the things that make Québec City a one-of-a-kind Canadian city. In a destination that is pronounced in every season, the reasons to visit Québec City are endless.
