Slow Travel & Gourmet Tours: Magazine & Experience Guide Worldwide
After a few days in Montreal, it's time for some peace and quiet. The Eastern Townships south of the city offer lakes, small villages like Knowlton, and a burgeoning wine region. We'll show you when a visit is worthwhile – and how to effectively incorporate the region into your Quebec trip.
Montreal isn't a city you can simply tick off one point at a time. It reveals itself when you connect neighborhoods, walk its paths, and pause along the way.
Quebec in Canada is not a place you simply "visit." The province unfolds through movement. Along the St. Lawrence River. Between cities that could hardly be more different. And along routes that tell a story greater than any single destination.
Live like a local in Quebec City. Leave the tourist trail behind and experience Quebec City authentically. Book your personal accommodation now and feel at home.

The state of Brandenburg has only a few thermal baths, which is precisely why a comparison is worthwhile. There are differences between Burg in the Spreewald, Bad Belzig in the High Fläming region, and the Potsdam area that can be crucial for a spa holiday.
A spa holiday is a trip where thermal water and regular bathing are the focus of the stay. Not massages, not spa programs, but the water itself dictates the rhythm of the days.
When we drove to the Paulinenhof near Bad Belzig, the first thing that struck us was the silence. No traffic, no village life, no sounds from the neighborhood. Just fields, wide open sky, and this old four-sided farmstead, nestled peacefully in the landscape.
Those looking for an adults-only hotel usually have a clear picture in mind: peace, relaxation, no hustle and bustle. But this is precisely where the differences begin. Because not every establishment that presents itself as an adults-only retreat operates in the same way.
