Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City (Travel Guide)

I've read and ordered many Lonely Planets in the past. Generally, their most dependable guides are their bread-and-butter country guides and city guides; their others are so-so.The Lonely Planet Montreal & Quebec City Travel Guide book gives many colorful details within its 285+ pages. Remember the days when their maps were in black and white? It gives good details about Montreal and Quebec cities, but I won't speak to their accuracy since I have not visited there yet. However, I am comparing their Ontario and Quebec Travel Guide book with it. My only complaint is that the book could have put a little more detail in their Day Trips from Montreal: the Laurentians and the Eastern Townships. Of course, it is a publishing decision, and a line has to be drawn somewhere.

ProsGood information written by localsConsThe print is so small I can't see it. I would prefer less info in larger print than being packed with info that is so hard to see that I just gave up.

I thought this guide was nicely written and easy to use during my trip to Montreal. I learned a lot as I perused the different parts of the book. I have used other Lonely Planet guidebooks, and I think some are better than others. This one was really helpful for my trip to Montreal and Quebec.

I am reading this book cover to cover. It is helpful and I will bring it with me on my trip.It is small enough to bring along.

Many of the recommended activities listed that I have looked into are closed or websites not operational.... so I am not impressed at this point.

Information about Montreal was not very helpful, but the maps were good.

I travelled to Montreal and Quebec City and found this useful for touristy things.

I did a lot of research and found this is definitely the best guide. It is fairly well laid out in logical sections of the city and is quite comprehensive.

Nn la solita lonely planet , un po’ dispersiva

Compact guide but full of information. There is even a guide for the airport and a pull out map. Month by month information and local area maps. Everything you need for getting around, places to eat , sleep and visit. Excellent guide.

Very useful for a brief visit

Personally, I'd prefer that Lonely Planet do a full, in-depth guide on just Montreal and another devoted to the entire province of Quebec. Still, LP Montreal & Quebec City is well worth having.
