Two days in Montreal add the east of the city and the islands to the old town and the mountain. The second day starts at the Montreal Planetarium and the Montreal Insectarium, spends the late morning in the Montreal Botanical Garden, then crosses the river to the Biosphere and Parc Jean-Drapeau.

The first day covers the old city and Mount Royal. The second day visits the Montreal Planetarium, the Montreal Insectarium and the Montreal Botanical Garden, then the Biosphere and Parc Jean-Drapeau on the islands.
Two days cover the old city, the mountain, the gardens and the islands at a steady pace. They leave out Jean-Talon Market, Mile End and Saint Joseph's Oratory, which the four-day plan adds.
Give one day to the old city and Mount Royal and the other to the gardens and the islands. The Montreal Botanical Garden usually takes 120 to 240 minutes, so start the second day early. As of 3 Nov 2026.
