Bar Harbor, Maine Once the exclusive summer resort of America's fabulously wealthy, today Bar Harbor is an artists' enclave and gateway to the rich natural beauty of Acadia National Park, much of which was donated by the Rockefeller family. Watch for white-tail deer and other wildlife. Enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the park or attend an authentic "Downeast" lobster bake. |

Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada For ocean scenery at its best, nothing rivals Nova Scotia's south shore. Here find craggy coastlines, fabled Peggy's Cove and the striking German village of Lunenburg, so meticulously restored it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Back in Halifax the ramparts of the Citadel and a museum commemorating the Titanic await your inspection! The entire Halifax region delights with its impressive array of entertainment, museums, galleries, historic sites, fine restaurants, and colorful gardens. |

Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada Named the most beautiful island in the world by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. Two must-see attractions beckon you ashore: the scenic Cabot Trail, winding between spruce-covered mountains and rocky headlands; and the Fortress of Louisbourg, where costumed soldiers, bakers and blacksmiths recreate daily life in the 1700s. This historic community is a mainstay of the legendary Cape Breton region, and boasts several buildings and landmarks that date as far back as 1786. Learn about the tumultuous history that helped forge this early settlement into the city that is today at the Cape Breton Centre for Heritage and Science. Strolling along the Oceanfront Esplanade will lead you to numerous statues and plaques that celebrate Sydney’s rich cultural heritage, while the nearby Cossit and Jost Houses are historical museums that will take you back in time. Sydney River—just south of central Sydney—is a rich and vibrant shopping district. |

Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island, Canada PEI may be Canada's smallest province, but it's big on history and attractions. Charlottetown was named for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. It is here that the famous Conference of 1864 was held which resulted in the creation of the Canadian confederacy. Learn all about it on a walking tour of Charlottetown, the provincial capital. Or cast your vote for shopping, a lobster luncheon or a tour of the picturesque farm that inspired Anne of Green Gables. |

Quebec City, Quebec,
Canada A tree-lined "Champs-Elysées," the lilt of French, a grand château on the river. Is this Canada, or is it France? Oui, it is both---a bastion of French culture in North America where impassioned Québécois hold dear their history, language and culture. It's pure Old World Europe right smack in North America, the heart and soul of francophone culture in the New World, and it's got a boisterous and down-to-earth population proud to show it all off. In short, it's hard not to be completely wowed by the place. Perched atop a cliff that swoops down to the St Lawrence River, Québec City is the only walled city on the continent north of Mexico. Nearby: Montmorency Falls, higher than Niagara. |

Montréal, Quebec, Canada Originally called Ville-Marie ('City of Mary'), the city takes its present name from Mont-Royal, the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city, whose name was also initially given to the island on which the city is located. The "joie de vivre" is palpable and contagious in this vibrant, culturally diverse and cosmopolitan city of two million inhabitants. Whether sipping a cappuccino at an outdoor café, gambling at the huge Casino de Montreal complex or exploring historic Old Montreal, you can't escape without experiencing the excitement and energy that pervade the entire city. Part French, part English, totally intriguing. Among Montréal's enticements: the cobblestone streets of lamp-lit Vieux Montréal, where the city began as a French colony in 1642; heavenly Notre-Dame Basilica; endless festivals and street fairs in Place Jacques-Cartier. |
