By train

With the train, not only can you travel to Montréal and Québec City, but also to cities such as Jonquière (Saguenay) and Gaspé. The trip to the Gaspésie region, for example, is done overnight, an advantage given the length of the journey.

Via Rail's Canrailpass gives you 12 days’ unlimited travel across Canada for a maximum 30-day period. For more information, consult your travel agent.
