Looking for things to do in Montreal this weekend? Why not visit Oka Québec? Oka is a natural reserve only a 40 minute drive from the city, making it very easy day trip from Montreal and an even better city escape!

I love staying at Fairmont hotels, and a stay at Le Château Montebello in Québec is no exception. They treat you like royalty here! Le Château Montebello isn’t cheap, but it’s somehow worth every penny! This is my guide to visiting Montebello Quebec and staying at the Château Montebello.
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!
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!?
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.
