The oldest walled city in North America, Quebec City sits dramatically atop Cape Diamond (Cap Diamant).

Overlooking the scene is the iconic Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, one of the most photographed buildings on the continent.

* Churchill, Manitoba

Churchill’s raw, subarctic terrain makes it feel completely removed from the rest of the world. This compelling town is best known as one of the top places in the world to see polar bears in the wild. From October to mid-November, the bears gather along the shore of Hudson Bay as they prepare to head out and hunt seals for the winter. In the evening, visitors can see the iconic aurora borealis (Northern Lights). In the summer, thousands of beluga whales can be spotted around the Churchill River; while the tundra and boreal forests surrounding the town are home to more than 200 species of birds.

* Banff Town, Alberta

Little Banff Town, set within famed Banff National Park, is home to only a few thousand people yet accommodates millions of visitors every year. It began with the opening of the picturesque Banff Springs Hotel, a historic railway hotel operated today by the Fairmont chain. The town has expanded to about three sq. miles in size, with its growth regulated to prevent the town from encroaching on the surrounding environment. Overlooked by towering Mount Rundle, the town may have its civilized restaurants, shops, and bars, but you never feel far away from the wilderness.
