These are more unique places to eat in Amsterdam that you should check out at least once during your visit. I found these when I was there for a few days, and I would go back to in a heart beat.

La Malbaie in the Charlevoix region is the perfect place for a weekend getaway from Montreal. It’s a quintessential small Quebec town to visit. Along the north shore of the St. Lawerence river, it’s a bit over a 4 hour drive from Montreal (about 2 hours past Quebec City).
Alfred Kelly Nature Reserve is one of my favourite spots to hike near Montreal. There are 15 km of free hiking trails that you can discover, I’ve barely even scratched the surface!
The Brussels comic book walls are one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen in a city. Of course I’ve seen graffiti before, even ones commissioned by the city. But, the Brussels comic book walls are so much more than street art.
The West Island of Montreal is, you guessed it, the west part of the Island. It’s filled with nature, unbeatable sunset views, and unique shopping experiences.
Visiting McGill’s Morgan Arboretum is a perfect way to spend a day surrounded by nature. It’s 245 acres of land filled with walking trails in the summer, cross country skiing in the winter, and don’t even get me started on the beautiful array of colours you’ll see in the fall!
The main highlight in Yamachiche is the nature park. Right off the highway, there’s a nature reserve that you can walk around and explore. It’s a true Québec hidden gem that’s definitely worth the trip to.
Did you know there are, not one, not two, but three lavender fields near Montreal!? Now you don’t have to plan a trip to the South of France to get a taste of the beautiful purple fields… although, who’s ever complaining about visiting the South of France!?
Everyone has their own list travel essentials that they never leave home without. It ranges from packing the necessities to comfort items that make us feel closer to home.
Les Chutes de Plaisance is part of the Plaisance national park in Quebec and it’s a historical site. It makes a wonderful day trip to nature. It’s also the perfect excursion if you’re staying at the Chateau Montebello for the weekend.
