Montreal + Québec City

Add Québec City, Canada and Montreal, Canada to your bucket list! Between the cobblestone streets, the charming buildings, the delicious cuisine, and the French — I felt like I was back in France… without having to fly all the way to Europe.

We wanted to go somewhere for fall break, but didn’t have a ton of time - so this was the perfect destination. It was also very kid friendly!

We did Montreal for 2 days and then took the train to Québec City for 3 days! It was the perfect amount of time. Here is our basic itinerary below! We never really plan much, but usually just have a list of things we want to do or see…. and when traveling with kids we keep our expectations very low! haha!
