There are few places better than Montreal. While there’s no place like home, sometimes you need a change of scenery from pothole-ridden roads and frigid winters, if only for the day. Luckily, the city is located so that within a few hours’ drive, you can encounter mountains, rolling farmland, or riverside towns in Quebec, Ontario, and Vermont.
This guide spans destinations within the province and just across the border, from the ski slopes and gondolas of Mont-Tremblant to centuries-old streets of Quebec City, wine routes of the Eastern Townships, and the small-town charm of Northern Vermont.
If you want a more focused outline of what to do in these day trip destinations, check out our road trip guides for the Eastern Townships and Le Chemin du Roy, the highway between Montreal and Quebec City. For those aching to hit the slopes, you can reference our guide for skiing in and around Montreal.
