Montreal Things to Do

At 272-feet (83 meters), Montmorency Falls is over 100-feet higher than the famous Niagara Falls. Located about 15 minutes outside downtown Quebec City — about three hours from Montreal — the falls reside at the mouth of the Montmorency River, spilling into a 60-foot deep basin in the Saint Lawrence River.

If you think the Niagara Falls are impressive, the Montmorency Falls, which are only a few miles away from Quebec City and about 150 miles or so from Montreal, are even higher (just shy of a hundred feet higher, actually). Spectacular views abound – especially if you venture onto the suspension bridge or cable car. But what else is special about this spot?
