Rankings were based on things like landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. The final scores were averages of all those categories.</p><p>While Montreal landed in a very respectable second place, Quebec City held onto its title — again. For those counting, that's 10 years straight that the capital has claimed the crown, making it not just a local favourite, but an international one too.</p><p>According to T+L, readers were particularly charmed by Quebec City's "French architecture and winding streets, excellent food and shopping, and the evocative historic atmosphere of Vieux-Québec." The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was singled out as a must-see, especially in winter, when the Saint Lawrence River freezes and the city takes on a storybook feel.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDKYe1uRpBJ/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">

The city was praised for its culture, cuisine, and value, and actually climbed one spot higher than last year. From arts festivals to late-night eats to a nightlife scene that doesn't really sleep, Montreal continues to leave a mark on visitors, even if it's not quite first-place material.</p><p>Quebec's one-two punch didn't go unnoticed either. With both Montreal and Quebec City earning top-tier scores, the province is clearly holding its own against heavyweights like Vancouver, Halifax, and Victoria — all of which rounded out the top five.</p><p>So, the next time someone asks which Canadian cities are worth the hype, just tell them two of the best are only a train ride apart. And neither of them is Toronto.</p><p><span></span>Here's the full 2025 list from Travel + Leisure:</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Quebec City, QC</strong> – Score: 86.79</li> <li> <strong>Montreal, QC</strong> – Score: 82.93</li> <li> <strong>Vancouver, BC</strong> – Score: 82.79</li> <li> <strong>Halifax, NS</strong> – Score: 82.26</li> <li> <strong>Victoria, BC</strong> – Score: 80.70</li> </ol><p><em>Love this?
