    last second planning, doing everything on the fly. will be there 1-1.5 weeks.

    gonna hit toronto, ottawa, montreal, and quebec city.

    anywhere else in the vicinity of those you'd recommend going? and what can't miss sights/food/things to do are there in those places?

    mann toronto is the funnest city to be in...i used to live there for 4 years. Aight, u gotta make sure u go to Tim Hortons, its the american version of Starbux, but waayyy better...they got the best donuts and fresh pastry and stuff. Niagara Falls is pretty good. Go to Canada's Wonderland for sureeee, its a big ass amusement theme park, waaayyy better than what astroworld was. Also a good beach up there is Wasaga beach, make sure u hit that up...lots of other stuff too, i just dont feel like thinkin right now...have fun tho, i wish i could visit.

    Aww man.. you got my hopes up. Your destinations are more like east-central Canada. True eastern Canada (i.e. Atlantic Canada) is my specialty.

    Anyway, in that area Niagara Falls is a must. I would also consider doing a wine tour of the Niagara region. It's absolutely beautiful there and there are some amazing wineries. You can book bus tours of the area that take you around to many different wineries and get drunk off free samples. Make sure to visit Niagara-on-the-lake.

    If you like baseball, you should go to a Jays game. It's only $9 for 500 level seats, and it's always fun to visit a different ballpark.

    Canada's Wonderland is loads of fun, as is African Lion Safari. The Toronto Zoo is pretty great as well. If it's hot, there's a big water park near Toronto that's worth a visit. The actual name escapes me.

    Ottawa is a bit boring. I would limit my time spent there. I guess you can check out the Government buildings and take a stroll along the Rideau canal.

    Montreal has a nice casino if you're into that sort of thing. Montreal is also famous for its strip clubs, again, if you're into that sort of thing.

    Never been to Quebec City, but I hear it is beautiful.

    I live in Montreal. And well, this city has the best "Nightlife" if you know what i mean. From what i've heard anyways. Also, we're famous for our bagels:D!!LOL
    For sight seeing, there are alot of nice parks to go to. To have some adrenaline going,as someone mentioned, theres Casino of Montreal. Many things to do. Toronto should be a kick aswell!
    We have starbucks here too, but its almost nothing compared to Timmie's:D( Tim Hortons). As someone already mentioned, you should limit your time in Ottawa and Q.C.
    Enjoy

    everything's gonna be on the fly and anything can be planned, but do you think atlantic canada would be too much to cram in and too far in the 1.5 wk timespan?

    looks like it's gonna be just montreal and quebec city, with a trip to ottawa on canada day.

    any suggestions for those 2 cities?
