New York, New York
New York was once the capital of America, but that illustrious title seems insignificant compared to the modern role of the Big Apple. Fashion, finance and fine arts—it all happens here.

Newport, Rhode Island
Witness the lavish excesses of Newport's "gilded age" as you visit the summer cottages of the Vanderbilts, Astors and Morgans; relive the fairy-tale wedding reception of Jacqueline Bouvier at her childhood summer home, Hammersmith Farm.

Boston, Massachusetts
The cradle of American history, Boston rests on its glorious historic laurels—Trinity Church, Old Ironsides, the Freedom Trail and Faneuil Hall—yet is thrust into the next millennium as a high-tech hub of the computer industry.

Bar Harbor, Maine
Tucked into a cove in the shade of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor is the quintessential New England coastal town. Enjoy the great outdoors with a bike ride or kayak adventure, participate in a lobster bake and chew on hand-stretched taffy from an upscale boutique.

Halifax, Nova Scotia
Lighthouses stand sentinel on cliffside ledges; tiny villages huddle in rocky inlets; lobsters make it from the ocean to your plate in record time—this is Nova Scotia! In Halifax proper, through war and peace, the ramparts of the Citadel boldly defend the city and await your inspection.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
A provincial capital with a distinctly English feel. Where red double-decker buses motor along streets lined with gingerbread-trimmed Victorian houses; and tea is served promptly at three.

Quebec City, Quebec
Explore this noble, walled city that speaks with more than just a slight French accent. Stroll Old Quebec's maze of cobblestone streets that have little regard for the niceties of flat terrain. Happen upon quaint sidewalk cafes and indulge in the pastries and sandwiches that are a taste of old France. Don't even glance in the windows of the adorable boutiques and lovely antique shops, unless of course you don't mind yielding to temptation.

Montreal, Quebec
Partly English, mostly French, completely intriguing-these are the cobblestone streets of lamp-lit Old Montreal. For a view of the city and the seaway, climb to the top of Mont Royal, or visit the tranquil Botanical Gardens. Downtown are world-class restaurants and the elaborate cathedral. Step inside for the full effect.
