Drivng from Boston to Quebec

My family is driving to Quebec in February from Boston. What is the best way: through Vermont or through Maine?

Vermont is 1 hour or more faster, for sure.

You looking for scenery or quickness.
Go through Vermont if time is of the essence. Otherwise, you will be longer on the road by quite a factor.

But US 201 is scenic. Cannot argue that.
How much are you willing to pay in time delay for scenery?

I assume you mean Quebec City?
You'll be driving in the dead of winter. I woudn't recommend taking a longer scenic route. New Hampshire's I-89, to Vermont's I-91 are very, very scenic and the quickest way there.

I took a road trip to Quebec last June from Hartford, CT. up through Vermont and back down through Maine. I thought the Vermont drive was much more interesting and scenic. Maine was nice but a bit boring after a while.

Don't forget to fill up on gas before crossing the border into Canada, you'll save a ton of money doing so.

Good afternoon

I´m a spanish man who wants to make a travel from Boston to Quebec (and other sites in Canada) with a rent car. Could you say me what places I should visit?

My idea is to go to Boston, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawwa, Tornto, Niagara fallsn, Washington and return to New York (my flight arrives in that city).

Best Regards.
