Save your receipts: The Quebec Provincial Government imposes a 7.5% tax on accommodations (TVQ) in addition to the 7% federal goods and services tax (TPS). Foreign visitors can recoup most of the hotel tax, but you'll need to keep your receipts and file the necessary refund form. You can also recoup some of your taxes on purchases. Look out for these tax rebate forms displayed in most hotels and retail outlets.

When To Visit: Anytime of year! Depending on your motivation, Laval has a great variety of activities for you to enjoy year-round. Peak season runs from May to October so be sure to secure your reservations before leaving home. June and July are always heavily booked with people visiting. Rates at most hotels will generally be higher during peak season, but with a little perseverance and digging, you can still find affordable accommodation. Throughout the year, however, many hotels do offer discounted weekend rates at a substantial savings.

Spring: Although Spring officially rings in on March 21st, Laval weather does not always cooperate, so if you are looking for pleasant spring weather a safe bet is to visit after mid-May.

Summer: The sun is hot and people are crowding the streets - Check our site for summer festival dates and put on your walking/dancing shoes. After stowing our skis away and shedding the warm clothing, Laval blossoms during the Summer months. Restaurants are bustling with sun-worshipers and outdoor terraces (sidewalk cafés) are thick with tourists and locals alike.

Fall: Without a question, autumn is a most picturesque time of year in Laval and surrounding areas. Enjoy a colourful walk around and experience the brilliance of our fall with yellow, orange and red leaves adorning the trees.

Winter: Winter ski packages are abundant in the land of snow-capped mountains and sleigh rides. The ski hills are so close to the city (10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours away) that you can ski all day long and return to Laval for your night's stay. There are of course, many great ski resorts to stay at, should you choose to remain in the mountains overnight.

Enjoy your stay!
