Day trips from Quebec City
It’s very tempting to want to do a day trip between both cities. Montreal and Quebec City are just under a three hour drive from each other. Making it a doable day trip… but that doesn’t mean that it should be done!
Only a 20 minute drive from Quebec City, a visit to Wendake is almost a no brainer. You’ll be able to learn about their past but also their life today. And if you’re lucky, you might even be able to try some of their traditional cuisine.
There isn’t too much to do in Levis Quebec. But despite its small size, it’s a worthwhile stop on a Quebec road trip, or if you’re visiting Quebec City for a few days.
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).
