Toronto

With a ton of exciting attractions, live performances, major league sports and a festival for almost everything, you’ll never run out of things to do in Toronto. Start at one of the observation decks at the CN Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the city to get your bearings, then head to the historic Distillery District for a taste of authentic Torontonian suds, followed by a quick stroll over to St Lawrence Market for the best Canadian fare. The city has it all covered when it comes to keeping the kids entertained too, with attractions like the Ontario Science Centre. And if the weather’s on your side, it’s definitely worth hopping on-board a ferry to explore the nearby Toronto Islands.​

Ottawa

Ottawa is a great city to explore on foot, and two of the city’s absolute must-do’s are Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal. Acting as the anchor of downtown Ottawa, the three neo-Gothic structures of Parliament Hill are pretty hard to miss, with several areas open to the public, the most notable being Centre Block. Flooded with boats come summer, the Rideau Canal is a series of rivers, lakes and connecting locks and canals that form a continuous waterway from Kingston to Ottawa, and one of Canada’s newest UNESCO Heritage sites with canal boat or canoe tours and hiking trails that highlight some of the area’s most beautiful sights​.​

Ottowa to Montréal

Montréal

In Montréal, even a simple stroll is a journey through time, backwards and forwards, and every step is an opportunity to experience something different. Historic monuments intertwine with ultra-modern structures, and the legacy
of Expo 67 still lives on, from the geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller, to Habitat 67 – a landmark in Canadian architecture. Don’t forget to check out the new jewel of urban design, the Quartier International, which displays an eclectic mix of old and new with striking skyscrapers nestled alongside heritage buildings (little wonder it was the first North American city to be appointed a UNESCO City of Design).​

Montréal to Québec City

Journey Time: 2 hours, 45 minutes

Leave Montréal this morning for Québec City, following the mighty St Lawrence River to Trois-Rivières. En-route, visit a traditional Québecois sugar shack to see where maple syrup is produced from local trees. Continue on to majestic Montmorency Falls – approximately 100 feet taller than Niagara Falls for a guided tour and gondola ride.
