Montréal & Québec City

Reference only. Add your actual airport or arrival station and the hotel transfer; not every airport journey should pass through Gare Centrale. Reach your accommodation, unpack, and find dinner nearby. The template starts at Gare Centrale as a city-center reference, not as an instruction to take every airport transfer through the station. If you have energy, take a short walk near your hotel. Leave the old town’s major sights for tomorrow, when you can enjoy them without luggage or a flight delay in the background. Add the real arrival terminal and ground transfer after choosing accommodation. Travel time is a planning allowance, not a published timetable; confirm your booked service and add check-in or queue time.

3-night accommodation base. This is an approximate neighborhood pin, not a reserved hotel. Replace it with your booked property's exact location. 3 nights Montréal · 3 nights Québec City

Start around Place d’Armes and visit Notre-Dame Basilica with the correct admission product. Continue through the old streets toward Place Jacques-Cartier, then spend the afternoon around the Old Port. Have a proper lunch between the interior visit and the waterfront. This is a day for looking up at the buildings and stopping when something catches your eye. Daytime sightseeing and AURA are separate experiences. Check which one your booking covers. Travel time is a planning allowance, not a published timetable; confirm your booked service and add check-in or queue time.

Book the daytime sightseeing product for this visit. AURA is a separate evening experience; check dates and inclusions.

Combined transit-and-walking allowance, not a vehicle route to the lookout. Plan a suitable uphill approach and check conditions; replace with an indoor visit if needed. Set aside the morning for Mount Royal and its Kondiaronk lookout, selecting an approach that suits your walking ability. Come down for a long lunch, then use transit to the Plateau around Avenue du Mont-Royal for cafés and neighborhood streets. You do not need to add a second major museum. In poor conditions, replace the hill walk with an indoor visit and keep the afternoon local. The lookout is an uphill outing. Check paths and footing, particularly outside the warmer months; the template is not a winter trail assessment.

Leave from Montréal Gare Centrale on the dated VIA Rail service you have booked. Confirm that your arrival is Gare du Palais, as used in the template, or replace the pin and hotel transfer if you chose Sainte-Foy. After arrival, check in and eat near your accommodation. Keep the afternoon free of prepaid attractions so the journey can take the time it needs. Use your ticket’s schedule, baggage rules, and station guidance. The template’s rail duration is an allowance, not a promised travel time. Travel time is a planning allowance, not a published timetable; confirm your booked service and add check-in or queue time.

Begin on Dufferin Terrace beside the Château Frontenac exterior. Explore the upper old town at a comfortable pace, stopping for lunch before continuing toward the fortifications around Porte Saint-Louis. If you still want open space, finish at the near edge of the Plains of Abraham. Keep museum interiors for a deliberate swap rather than treating the entire neighborhood as a checklist. The château stop is an exterior visit. A hotel tour or restaurant reservation is a separate choice.

Choose an approach suited to your mobility. Confirm the current funicular or other access option if steep streets and stairs are unsuitable. Choose a suitable descent to Place Royale and continue through Petit-Champlain. Give the shops and small streets time, then have lunch before walking toward the Old Port. This is your slower Québec City day and a useful weather buffer. If you want a museum, choose one and replace part of the walk rather than squeezing it into the last hour. Research the current funicular or another suitable access option if stairs and steep streets are a problem. Cobblestones can still make the lower town demanding.

Replace if flying from Québec City. A Montréal departure requires a separate intercity transfer and airport buffer, preferably a final Montréal night. Have breakfast and head to the airport or station on your booking. The template uses Gare du Palais as an onward reference and needs replacing if you fly. If your flight is from Montréal, this is a different travel plan: add the full intercity connection and a realistic airport buffer, or stay in Montréal the night before.
