Day Trips from Montreal

Day Trips from Montreal

Escape the city: the Laurentians, Eastern Townships and Québec City are all an easy drive away.

Within an hour or two of Montréal you can be hiking in the Laurentian mountains, wine-tasting in the Eastern Townships, or wandering the walled streets of Québec City.

Autumn is the showstopper, when the maple forests blaze red and gold along every country road.
