We’ll be in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City over two weeks in July. Looking for info on different sections of each city and landscape areas. Thanks.

Toronto has some lovely 'gardens' and structures (Dome and CN Tower). Montreal has some lovely views, and Quebec City has some lovely old buildings. What is your interest?
You can travel about 50 miles north of any of these cities and find lovely landscapes.
Enjoy your visit.

Montreal has some beautiful churches. Saint Joseph’s Oratory is a must see, and Mary Queen of the Earth. The Hotel Monville is a very nice, centrally located place to stay.

For Quebec City, Lower Town and Upper Town (inside the walls) are a must. If you have a car, then places like Charlevoix, Ile d'Orleans and the Jacques Cartier Park are beautiful areas. Google them to get loads of info on them as well as must see areas in the city. Here is one link

Thanks, we’re starting off in Toronto to visit a friend and travel to Ottawa with her so we won’t be in Toronto long.

Montreal is like Toronto, but, with vitality... My wife was born there.

In Toronto there is a wonderful conservatory/botanical garden also a very vibrant Chinatown. Do not miss Niagara Falls. You may think it cheesy but it’s far from that. Cave of the Winds is fabulous and you’re about 4 feet from the American Falls. If your rig isn’t weathersealed, you’ll need a raincoat for your camera and don’t turn down the poncho for you. Not far from the falls is a butterfly conservatory that is worth the trip. My husband and I took an all-day tour of Niagara that, while expensive, was worth every penny. Parking is a MAJOR hassle so the tour solved that problem. I wish I could remember the name of the tour company, but it was 2 years ago.

You could spend your time in any of the three cities, and wouldn't be disappointed. Toronto's different, but, lots of things to see. Two weeks is hardly time to do any of them justice.

Toronto islands, the city has a lot of ravines, home to urban foxes. Cabbage town. These are a few ideas. Quebec City, the old city and the plains of Abraham will give you lots of shots. If you can go further east, the Gaspe is a beautiful place....

As a resident of Toronto, my go to would be the multitude of amazing graffiti in the city. Also the Skyline from both Humber Bay (shooting east) and Polson Pier (shooting west). I'm not too excited about the parks since they are just parks, but Grenadier Pond in High Park is a worthwhile stop. The U of T campus at night. That's all I can think of "off the cuff". By the way, in Canada - plastic eating utensils are "cutlery" NOT silverware, we drink "pop" not soda, Cuban cigars are legal and we DO NOT say "aboot". Also, you should buy out-of-country health insurance before coming here. Health care for us is part of our "socialist regime" but y'all gonna pay (about 33% of what you'd pay at home!). If you'd like to meet whilst you're here, let me know.

I haven't lived there for about 20 years, but, there were a couple of Victorian gardens that rivaled those of Vancouver.
Moreover, Canadians are generally friendly, and unarmed...
