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.
Highlights
- Hike or ski in the Laurentians
- Tour wineries in the Eastern Townships
- Day-trip to historic Québec City
