Foodie Paradise
The birthplace of poutine – a mix of French fries, rich gravy and creamy cheese curds, it’s no surprise that Montréal is home to a delicious and diverse mix of cuisines. In fact, Montréal technically has more restaurants per capita than New York City.
Culturally Rich
Montréal has some of the world’s most renowned festivals (think Just for Laughs and International Jazz fest) and offers a diverse mix of cultural attractions and events. Must-see stops include gothic beauty Notre-Dame Basilica, Château Ramezay and Mount Royal Park.
Get Sporty
The list of ways to move and unwind is lengthy, with options that include rollerblading around the seawall, ice skating at one of many rinks, curling, basketball at Kits Beach, tennis at one of the many courts throughout the city, golfing, world-class mountain biking, taking in an NHL hockey or international soccer game.
Unique Tours
Explore the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal on a bike tour and learn all about the city’s rich history or take a jet ski tour on the Saint Lawrence River. Take a private horse-drawn sleigh ride tour or a walking craft beer tour – there are countless ways to see one of the great North American cities with a European feel.
