Itinerary overview
Toronto
Start your trip in style
After your transatlantic flight, you’ll touch down in Toronto and transfer to the Fairmont Royal York. Spend a little time getting to know the city before you board the business carriage of VIA Rail to Ottawa on a journey that’ll take four and a half hours. Indulge in a shopping spree in the upscale Yorkville neighbourhood, known for its high-end boutiques and designer brands. Alternatively, take a private sightseeing tour for a closer look at the waterfront and neighbourhoods, or visit the vertiginous CN Tower.
Recommended Hotel
The Fairmont Royal York
The Fairmont Royal York has hosted royalty and dignitaries since it opened in 1929. Today, it aspires to make every guest feel as pampered as its VIPs.
Ottawa
Good looks and grandeur
The prettiness of the turreted buildings of Parliament Hill is matched by the castle-like looks of the Fairmont Château Laurier – a landmark in itself. After exploring Ottawa, you’ll board the VIA train to Montreal, just two hours away. Stroll along the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which becomes the world’s longest outdoor ice-skating rink in winter. In spring and summer, exploring by bike comes highly recommended, pedalling through the parks and neighbourhoods and checking off the must-see highlights as you go.

Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Fairmont Chateau Laurier appears more castle than hotel. Its stately appearance continues inside with tinkling grand pianos and sparkling chandeliers.
Montreal
Canada’s cultural heart
This French-speaking city is noted for its excellent food. But there’s plenty more than a superb restaurant in this riverside city. Festivals and sports, museums and galleries, shopping and nightlife – visitors can find a version of the city they’ll love. After Montreal, a final rail journey takes you to Quebec City, which is around three and a half hours away. Take a guided tour that explores the city highlights, including what lies underground through the RESO, Montreal’s underground pedestrian network. There are shopping plazas and galleries, food markets and activities.

Quebec City
Old world elegance

This is a fairytale city that’s simply delightful. Choose from a walking tour to check off some city landmarks or cover more ground by taking a bike tour. Of course, a gourmet tour is a tempting option in this city, tasting the local flavours from Quebec’s artisans.
