Build a balanced outline
Montréal
Give neighbourhoods their own half-days. Old Montréal, the Plateau and the canal should not be squeezed into one continuous march.
- Good base: near a metro connection
- Useful margin: weather and construction
- Local experience: market breakfast
Québec City
The historic core rewards early walks. Add one lower-town segment and avoid overloading a short stay with distant excursions.
- Good base: walkable to the old city
- Useful margin: hills and winter footing
- Local experience: quiet evening streets
