Quebec City and Halifax from Montreal

One-way VIA Rail trip from Montreal to Quebec City and Halifax

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package that starts in Montreal and ends in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Travelers begin with a scenic VIA Rail ride to Quebec City, where two full days are set aside to see the city's popular and historic sights. From Quebec City, VIA Rail continues overnight, a journey the operator describes as especially picturesque, arriving in Halifax for two more full days in what the package calls a charming, seaside city. Because this is an independent rail package rather than a guided tour, travelers explore each stop at their own pace. It suits travelers who want two unhurried, multi-day stays in French Canadian and Maritime cities connected by train rather than a fast-moving multi-city itinerary.
