Simple museum-day structure
- Morning: one anchor museum visit.
- Midday: nearby café/lunch break.
- Afternoon: one short second stop (not another large museum).
- Evening: dinner in the same neighborhood.
Why this works better
- Less museum fatigue
- Fewer cross-city transfers
- More time to actually enjoy exhibits
Where to stay for museum-focused trips
- Downtown: easiest transit to major venues.
- Old Montreal access: good for culture + walkable evening.
- Plateau access: good for museum day + café rhythm.
