Simple checkout-day plan
- After check-out: secure luggage (bag storage guide).
- Late morning: brunch/coffee close to your storage point.
- Midday: short walk in one area only (avoid cross-city hops).
- Departure: head to airport with margin.
Easy neighborhood choices
- Old Montreal: scenic walk + easy photo spots
- Downtown: indoor options + straightforward transit
- Canal side (Griffintown/Saint-Henri): flat walk if weather is good
What to prioritize on departure day
- Low-friction logistics over "one more attraction"
- Weather-aware shoes and compact bag setup
