Montreal vs Niagara Falls

DH and I are looking to spend a long weekend in Canada come September...and we're considering either Niagra Falls or Montreal.

For those who have been to either or both - what are your recommendations? Did you like one city more?

TIA!

Re: Montreal vs Niagara Falls

Hands down Montreal!!! There is so much more to do and see.

In Niagra honestly you get sick of the falls after like a day. After Maid of the Mist you're done. It's very touristy and IMO it's cheezy.

Montreal has a great culture. The food there is INCREDIBLE. We ate at some top notch French restaurants, and this one steakhouse, Gibby's, was phenominal.
We did so much in 4 days.. Botanical Gardens, the cathedral, Biodome, the casino, La Ronde, seeing the underground shopping, did the bus tour to Mont Royal, walking around in old town, horse & carriage ride... it was an incredible trip.
We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance.

Thank you!

We have an opportunity to stay at the Ritz Carlton for a few days so that alone was selling us Chat Icon But after reading your review and looking up the places you mentioned...we're totally sold!

Thanks so much! Chat Icon

I agree
we just went and had the BEST time.
we stayed at the Centre Sheraton....
It was a GREAT time and the drive up wasn't that bad.

How long was your drive?

We're leaning towards flying since we're only going for 4 days...

The drive was 6 hours
we wound up staying from a Friday though a Wednesday...
So basically we drove up Friday and drove home Wednesday..
so full four days of touring...
it was nice to have the car though-

Re: Montreal vs Niagara Falls

We drove as well.
But we only used the car one night when we went to the casino. The rest of the time our hotel had a free shuttle and we used the subway.

Re: Montreal vs Niagara Falls

we drove to the casino, to Mont Royal to St. Joseph's Oratorie (which I HIGHLY recommend) and to the Biodome.. so we used the car quite a lot.

We didn't use cab or subway once- we walked EVERYWHERE we could...
