Spend a day in the idyllic outdoors by starting off at Gatineau Park. Take a walk around Pink Lake or hike the Lusk Cave trail while breathing in fresh air and tranquil surroundings. Take a picnic for a relaxing lunch, after which you can rent a canoe or kayak in Meech Lake. End the day by catching the sunset at Champlain Lookout, offering an unbeatable panoramic view of the region.
Get lost in the cobbled streets of Old Montreal, a charming neighborhood with a European feel. Explore the Notre-Dame Basilica and enjoy a serene moment of awe-inspiring architecture. Stroll around the Place Royale or stop by Marché Bonsecours for a quick bite and some souvenirs. Then, unwind at Spa William Gray, with its starlit infinity pool perched on the rooftop, offering a panoramic view of the old port and the St. Lawrence River.
Relax and unwind at Nordik Spa-Nature, the Nordic-themed day spa in the heart of Quebec's nature. Enjoy the outdoor infinity baths, saunas, and steam rooms offering stunning views of the surrounding forests and rivers. The Källa saltwater pool is a unique experience, using the same concentration of salt as the Dead Sea. Do not miss the Restö, as it has a varied menu with locally sourced cuisine.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. In Old Montreal, take a carriage ride to slow down and enjoy the view. Alternatively, visit the Montreal Botanical Garden for a meditative experience among the flora. If you have less time, you can skip Champlain Lookout and Pink Lake in Gatineau Park. You can also opt for a shorter stay at the spas or skip Nordik Spa-Nature altogether.
