What to do during Easter 2023?

Go to New York for the Easter long weekend and see the Easter Parade!

Already, several bus tours organized by the major tour operators are fully booked for the Easter weekend of 2023.

But here’s a 4-day itinerary to get there at your own pace and some tips on how to get there without it being too expensive. By car, the trip takes 6 hours from Montreal or 8h30 from Quebec City.

Then, on site, don’t hesitate to visit activity booking platforms like Viator.

To immerse yourself in the history of this friendly city, Boston is about a 6 hour 15 minute drive from Quebec City or 5 hours from Montreal.

In fact, we’ve included Boston in the destinations where the cost in Aeroplan points is advantageous for a visit of a few days.

It’s still time to go stock up on good maple products. If you want to stay well wrapped up, you can also bring some home with Ma Cabane à la maison.
