  1. Day 1

    Boston, USA

    Boston rewards visitors who like their history close at hand and their cities easy to explore. From the waterfront, follow the Freedom Trail to landmarks of the American Revolution, including Faneuil Hall. Beacon Hill’s brick streets, the Public Garden and North End cafés reveal distinct sides of the city. Make time for harbor views and New England seafood; Boston’s pleasures are as tangible as its past. Its museums and universities give the compact city a lively, modern edge.

  2. Day 2

    Yarmouth NS, Canada

    Yarmouth sits on the Gulf of Maine, at Nova Scotia’s southwestern tip. Its waterfront reflects the rhythms of a working fishing port. Explore the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, browse independent shops, or pause over fresh seafood. Nearby Cape Forchu Lighthouse stands above rugged coastline, with broad ocean views and walking trails. Yarmouth is compact and easy to explore, yet offers a clear sense of place at the edge of the province.

  3. Day 3

    Halifax, Canada

    Halifax rewards visitors who begin on foot, where the harbourfront’s historic warehouses, boardwalk and seafood restaurants meet. Climb to the star-shaped Halifax Citadel for broad harbour views. At the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, exhibits trace Nova Scotia’s seafaring past and Halifax’s connection to the Titanic. Beyond downtown, Peggy’s Cove pairs a working fishing village with a lighthouse set on wave-worn granite.

  4. Day 4

    Sydney NS, Canada

    Sydney is the working harbour at the heart of Cape Breton Island, where Gaelic, Acadian and Mi’kmaq histories meet. Walk the waterfront to see the Big Fiddle, then browse downtown shops and cafés along Charlotte Street. Beyond town, the reconstructed Fortress of Louisbourg brings 18th-century French colonial life into striking focus. Use Sydney as a base for Cape Breton’s coastal roads, where ocean views and small communities invite an unhurried day.

  5. Day 5

    Prince Edward Island, Canada

    Charlottetown is a compact capital with a claim to Canadian history: delegates met here in 1864 to discuss Confederation. Brick storefronts, leafy streets and a working waterfront make its centre easy to explore on foot. See Province House, where the conference began, then browse Victoria Row’s boutiques and cafés. Beyond town, red-sand beaches and pastoral lanes reward a longer outing. Come for history; stay for Prince Edward Island’s pleasures.

  6. Day 7

    Quebec City, Canada

    Québec City is best explored on foot, where French-speaking Canada feels unmistakably distinct. Within the UNESCO-listed Historic District, stone walls, steep lanes and 17th-century façades tell the story of New France. Ride the funicular between Upper and Lower Town, then browse Petit-Champlain’s boutiques beside the St. Lawrence River. Allow time for the Plains of Abraham, where a pivotal 1759 battle changed the course of Canadian history. Come ashore ready to climb; the finest views reward a little effort.

  7. Day 8

    Montreal, Canada

    Montréal is a city of French character and North American energy, best explored on foot. From the Old Port, cobbled streets lead to Old Montréal’s grand squares, cafés and Notre-Dame Basilica. Climb or drive up Mount Royal for a broad view of the skyline and the St. Lawrence River. Then follow the city’s appetite, from market produce and bagels to inventive French-Canadian cooking. Allow time for the museums and lively terraces; Montréal’s pleasures are close together, but never feel hurried.
