Book accommodations well in advance or look for last-minute deals - can save 20-50% on standard rates

Take advantage of free outdoor activities like hiking trails and parks instead of paid attractions

Eat lunch at restaurants instead of dinner - many places offer similar dishes for 30-50% less during lunch hours

Stay slightly outside the city center where accommodation is typically 40-60% cheaper with good transit connections

Relying solely on taxis and rideshares instead of learning the public transit system - can triple transportation costs

Eating only in tourist-heavy downtown areas where prices are typically 50-100% higher than residential neighborhoods

Booking accommodation without checking cancellation policies - inflexible bookings often cost 20-30% more than refundable options

Not factoring in Quebec's sales tax (combined ~15%) when budgeting for purchases and dining
