I'm looking to visit MTL during POP Montreal, which is from September 21- 25. All in all I'll be in the city for a week. I understand that POP is a more leisurely festival than other events such as Osheaga or Coachella, one can basically visit the different acts by traveling to different bars/clubs in the city, it's not set at a dedicated festival ground. My question is that in addition to the festival, would a week be more than enough for a first time visitor to the city? Might it be too long? If so, what other places in the area are worth visiting? I was considering looking into ways to visit Quebec City for a day, if necessary.

What is or is not worth doing in any particular place depends totally on the tastes of the person who'll be doing the doing.– David RicherbyCommented Jul 22, 2016 at 22:56

While this is 100% opinion based, here's my 2 cents:
Yes, there are plenty of things to do, enough for a week at least. You can visit museums including MAC, Pointe-à-calière, science center, etc. You can hang out downtown or simply walk around. Usually, there will be some event or festival going on as well. Search online a bit and you will find something.
If you're into hiking, plan a trip to Mt-St-Hilaire on the south shore.
