My friend and I are planing a road trip to one of these cities for over our April break. First, which one would you recommend for a pair of adventurous cultural college kids. I've heard the comparison that montreal is like nyc and quebec city is like albany (I currently live in albany so im leaning more to montreal)? Second, how are the people generally (nice, helpful? or not?) and being a french major i would like to practice my french there and I was wondering if people are typically helpful or appreciative of that or if i will just look like a fool =p? Also any specific events going on in April that would be worth checking out? or even just places recommended to visit in either of the cities? and we aren't downers about bad weather =] thanks I hear they're both great cities!
