12 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 off the beaten path and head to Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum and St-Zotique Beach. Get some historical perspective at Notre-Dame Basilica and Lieu Historique National du Canal-de-Lachine. Change things up with these side-trips from Montreal: Laurentian Mountains (in Saint-Cassien-des-Caps), St Raphael's Ruins (in Cornwall) and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal (in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue). The adventure continues: admire the masterpieces at Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal, take an in-depth tour of Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, wander the streets of Plateau Mont-Royal, and examine the collection at Musee canadien de l’Arme et du Bronze.
