10 days in Montreal Itinerary

Quebec's economic and cultural capital, Montreal serves as the province's major point of entry, known for its rich history and high standard of living.

Step out of the city life by going to Old Port of Montreal and Alaskan Adventure Dog Sledding. Get some historical perspective at Notre-Dame Basilica and Place Vauquelin Fountain. Change things up with these side-trips from Montreal: Tremblant (in Mont Tremblant) and Upper Canada Village (in Morrisburg). There's still lots to do: get a new perspective on nature at Biodome de Montreal, admire the natural beauty at Montreal Botanical Garden, take in the spiritual surroundings of Cathedral of Marie-Reine-du-Monde, and walk around Mount Royal Park.
