Hey everyone!

I'm going to be visiting Montreal and Quebec City from Boston for a few days and staying with a friend.... however he'll be working while I'm out exploring the city!

I am trying to get into photography and just got a new dSLR so I was hoping that you guys could suggest some tourist and non-tourist activities that I could do solo and still have a lot of fun!

I'll have Friday and Monday to explore Montreal, and Saturday & Sunday to explore Quebec City.

Any & all suggestions are appreciated!!!

:-)

    Oh, and in case they help (i.e. if there's some must see event or something) I'll be there the night of the 29th & all day on the 30th... Quebec City 31st & 1st... and then Montreal again all day of the 2nd, departing the morning of the 3rd

    Make sure to go to the old port for some nice pictures, where you'll see the stoned streets that supposedly make montreal so european (taste a beaver tail, while you're at it).  Make sure to have some poutine (regular) at some point, and go on top of Mont Royal for a classic view of the city. For breakfast, try one of the "Chez Cora" restaurants, and try the outdoor farmers market "Marche Jean-Talon". It's a local favorite, and cool picture opportunities there.

    In terms of pictures, I would also make sure to go walk around the plateau mont-royal and st-denis street, with tons of little cafes in the art of mainstream/artsy montreal. Don't spend much time downtown.

    All this is pretty touristy, but don't hesitate to drop me a yelp message if you have some more questions.

    P.S. This website is pretty cool for discovering less touristy stuff: http://www.madeinmtl.com/
