Excellent reference,
This review is from: Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City 2nd Ed.: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
You really can't go wrong with the Lonely Planet City Guides, and the Montreal and Quebec City one is no exception. The description of places to eat are really good, but be wary that some of the hours of operation may be incorrect. My husband and I found a few of our top choices for restaurants to be closed on Sunday and/or Monday, or opened for dinner only. I love reading up on the history and neighborhoods - very informative! We also enjoyed the walking tours - it would have been nice if there was a tour for Westmount because we stumbled upon walking down Sherbrooke West and it is well worth it. I found this guide to be way better than the DK Top 10 version - that one didn't always clearly delineate between Montreal and Quebec City.

Don't Do Montreal Without It,
By Joseph W. Hughes "Jersey Joe" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City 2nd Ed.: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of LP books and always try to get one before traveling abroad (3-4 trips per year). My wife and I were in Montreal for about 36 hours this June and this was fantastic. We saw pretty much the entire city in that time, thanks to Bixi Bikes. Simply the best way to see any city. Amazing. This LP, like all others, is in no way comprehensive, but we followed many of the recommendations and they were spot on. Note on us: We are 30 years old each, newly married, and love to travel and adventure.

they could have spent more time on the provincial towns,

This review is from: Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City 2nd Ed.: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
They really ignore the Eastern Townships. They completely omitted Sutton and Sherbrooke which are charming towns.The coverage of Montreal is nicely updated and fair. No book is going to give you everything. This book is for those who know nothing. Nice fold out color map. 13 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Two enchanting cities worth exploring,

This review is from: Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City 2nd Ed.: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I have been to Quebec City once and I have visited Montreal four separate times. To put it briefly, these are two enchanting cities, well worth visiting.The "Lonely Planet" travel guide, "Montreal & Quebec City City Guide" represents a very useful resource for those who consider visiting these two cities. Montreal: Among the hotels that I stayed at are The Queen Elizabeth and Hotel Gouverneur (my naughty son packed one of the coffee cups into our luggage without my knowing it; it is now one of my favorite mugs!). The Queen Elizabeth was absolutely delightful. There is also a brief description of the Underground City. It is not as special as some might say, but it is an enjoyable place to visit and shop. There are nice summaries of places to see, places to eat (I enjoyed the ambience of The Beaver Club in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel), places to stay. . . Visiting the Olympic Park was most enjoyable. Quebec City? The Old City is delightful. Our family took one of the water tours and one of the bus tours of the city. Well worth experiencing! The Plains of Abraham were chilling (I can't believe that such an important battle took place in such a restricted place!). All in all, the two places reviewed here are delightful venues for a vacation. And this book does a nice job of providing the would-be visitor with relevant information. . . . |
