Montreal
Montreal is a city of cultures and festivals. Come experience the vibe of neighbourhoods like the Plateau, the Mile End and the Quartier Latin. To enjoy nature in the city, start at Mount Royal Park, then head to the Jardin botanique. Visit Old Montreal on foot and explore the archeological vestiges of Pointe-à-Callière. Have fun learning about science at the Montreal Science Centre. In good weather or bad, visit Montreal’s Underground City, a network of more than 30 kilometres of passageways leading to museums, boutiques, performance venues and restaurants. Try the restaurants at Time Out Market!
Mont-Tremblant
Just north of Montreal, take time out at Mont-Tremblant for a first-class mountain experience. Starting from Tremblant’s Pedestrian Village, which is lined with boutiques and restaurants (we recommend the fondue at La Savoie), step aboard the panoramic gondola for a stunning view of the Laurentians. If you have energy left to burn, rent an electric bike at D-Tour or go for a hike at Domaine Saint-Bernard. Afterwards, enjoy the fine dining at sEb L’artisan culinaire.
Montebello
Follow the road to the Outaouais region for a stay at the luxurious Fairmont Le Château Montebello. Enjoy a taste of the hotel’s fabulous cuisine, with its focus on local products, and relax at the spa. Roam the nearby Parc Omega in your car to observe animals (deer, bears, wolves, etc.) in their natural habitats. If you visit at night, be sure to catch the Omega by Night sound and light show.
Ottawa and Gatineau
Take the Chemins d’eau route to Gatineau and marvel at our past at the Canadian Museum of History. The Grand Hall alone is worth the trip! In Ottawa, Parliament Hill has free guided tours. Don’t miss the changing of the guard or the Peace Tower carillon concerts. Foodies will appreciate a meal at Bekta or Play Food & Wine at the renowned Byward Market. Visiting in May? Prepare to be dazzled by millions of tulips during the Canadian Tulip Festival.
Algonquin Provincial Park
Make your way to Algonquin Provincial Park, the ideal place to admire the fall colours, all along the Highway 60 Corridor. Choose your outdoor activity: hiking, cycling, fishing or canoeing. After your nature break, you can admire the works housed in the Algonquin Art Center and dive into history at the Algonquin Logging Museum.
Toronto
Wrap up your road trip in the multicultural and cosmopolitan city of Toronto, with oh-so-hip neighbourhoods like the Westside, The Beaches and the Historic Distillery District. While in the Distillery District, treat yourself at Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie. The Art Gallery of Ontario—one of the biggest in North America—and the renowned Royal Ontario Museum are sure to delight art lovers. The city’s icon, the CN Tower, has unforgettable attractions: a glass floor 342 metres in the air and 360 restaurant, where the breathtaking panoramic view is rivalled only by the creative cuisine of chef John Morris. From the bustling city centre, head to the serene Toronto Islands and enjoy a Toronto Island Walking Tour
