Weather in Canada
QUEBEC
Canada’s “country within a country”, French Quebec is a rare example of European and North American cultures mixing in near perfect. As one of North America’s first township settlements, Quebec’s pretty Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where cobbled streets lead to magnificent examples of 17th and 18th century architecture. The city’s coffee culture has a definitive European feel, with sidewalk cafes and charming squares, but venture just outside and you’ll find yourself back in Canada’s familiar epic wild landscapes and stunning mountain ranges.
HALIFAX
Nova Scotia’s breezy capital city is often ranked amongst the top cities to live in the world, and consistently listed as one of the cities with the best quality of life. When you set sail on a Canada cruise which stops in Halifax, you’ll see why the local “Haligonians” are so happy – with a beautiful waterfront, rich history and pretty green parks. Halifax also has an impressive food and drink scene, with a growing craft beer movement and tons of quirky places to grab a bite to eat and order a coffee. Entertainment is mostly focused on the city’s popular live music joints, as well as the wonderfully old-world Victoria Theatre.
ST. JOHN
Rainbow coloured houses define America’s oldest town, the historic St. John in Newfoundland. Closer in distance to Dublin, Ireland - from where many of its resident’s ancestors came - than fellow Canadian city Toronto, St. John’s blends a mixture of both British and Irish influences. St. John’s pretty harbour and fascinating old town are ideal places to leisurely wander around, whilst Cabot Tower, built to commemorates John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, is the most popular tourist attraction. Although small, St. John still has plenty to offer the more active cruise-goers, with a range of outdoor activities. Above the city, the walking trail at Signal Hill is worth the effort to visit the site of the first ever, transatlantic wireless communication, whilst pretty Bowring Park has offers sports courts and a golf club.
