Montreal and Toronto

Botanical Gardens and St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal are both fantastic. Definitely recommend visiting Quebec City as well. The Charlevoix region is really nice as well.
Niagara-on—the-lake is a fun day trip if you’re in the Niagara region.

Get yerself some Tim Horton’s
Are they nearby? We won't have a car so don't want to travel too far
 

Spent 6 weeks just outside Toronto many years back.

The family i stayed with had a boat so we spent a day on Lake Ontario, so if that's an option to rent or jump on a boat, i would recommend. When i was doing that the group i was out with spent the day at one of the Indian Reserves near Toronto(I think) and said it was amazing.

Spent the day at Niagra falls and enjoyed that. Did the CN Tower in Toronto too, that's a must do. Spent the day in Ottawa and that was nice to walk around too.

I would recommend getting out to one of the farmers markets i went to St Jacobs in Woolwich.

I travelled all throughout Ontario and enjoyed just stopping in towns and cities and having a walk around. Canadas a great country to visit.
 
Spent a bit of time in Toronto about 20-25 years ago so I guess a lot has changed. There was some great bohemian bars around the College st area and up around the University.

King St (I think) was more of a clubing area.

Arseing around the Islands are a nice way to spend the day as well.

Depending on when you go take in a Blue Jays game at the Dome.

Great advice. My in-laws live in the next village over from St. Jacobs. Actually started our honeymoon at an inn in St. Jacobs
 

Me and the mrs are flying into Montreal in April, flying out of Toronto 9 days later.
What would be the best way to split time between the cities, and what are the must do things in each? Only thing we know we definitely want to do is Niagara falls.


I live in Ottawa.

Montreal is an infinitely more fun city than Toronto in my opinion.

I would spend most of your time in Montreal.

Niagara falls is definitely a day trip you can do from Toronto it takes around an hour and a half to two hours to get there from Toronto depending on the traffic.

I assume you're going to be driving from Montreal to Toronto? Good luck with the 401 it is a nightmare.

Montreal always has lots of stuff going on as far as concerts and things to do.

Toronto has the Blue Jays, the maple leafs, I would recommend Ripley's Aquarium for a few hours.


Both are big cities though and have events happening frequently.
 
CN tower is pricey but worth it for the view but the aquarium is next door so you can get both done in an afternoon.

From what I remember the restaurant there wasn't too impressive and you can definitely find better spots to eat within walking distance.
 
Visit Quebec City is a must, go and watch a NHL game probably the Maple leafs,

Lots to do and see
There are three NHL teams between Toronto and Montreal (the other is in Ottawa). Maple Leafs tickets are horribly expensive and the playoffs begin in April so good luck if you try and see them play. Senators would be the easiest ticket.

If you're looking for other sports, the Blue Jays and Raptors will still be in season. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also in Toronto, absolutely worth a few hours of your time.
 
I live in Toronto mate, when are you coming? Montreal is a much better city for a tourist, would reccomended a weekend at max in Toronto
Arriving in April. From the very little research I have done, Montreal appears to be like a mini Paris and Toronto a bit more of a generic large city.
