Quick Summary: In Montreal, Canada's second largest city, locals and visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to planning a day trip out of the city. For a start, there are a string of beautiful lake-side villages, which form part of the Eastern Townships, which are just begging to be visited. To the north of Montreal you will find the Laurentians, a beautiful range of mountains which form the scenic backdrop to a valley full of adventure activities. You will never be far from water in Quebec and unlimited opportunities for water sports can be found around every corner.
