Visit caf��s, galleries, museums, and our Heritage districts�� perfectly preserved 18th- and 19th-century terra- cotta-crusted and stone buildings. Stroll wide city streets flanked by contemporary architecture. Root for our feisty sports teams, or join in the fun of one of our seasonal festivals �� Qu��bec��s Carnival and Winnipeg��s Festival du Voyageur rank among my winter favorites. Browse shops stocked with treasures from sweet Qu��bec maple syrup to perfect white Arctic diamonds. With the sunset, plunge into the brew of excitement in our hot clubbing districts, where nightlife spills happily onto starlit streets from caf��s, clubs and pubs.
