A SNEAK PEAK

A Sneak Peek into Montreal

Montreal has thrived as a cosmopolitan communications and trade hub due to its location on the St. Lawrence River.
Jacques Cartier arrived in 1535 and claimed the territory for his King, François I of France, but it wasn't until 1642 that Paul de Chomedey established Ville Marie de Mont-Real, a small mission station.
Montreal, the world's second-largest French-speaking city, is the result of this original settlement.
Despite the city's size, the tourist-friendly areas of Montreal are concentrated in small spaces.
The Centre-Ville (downtown) area is home to the city's major museums and arts venues, as well as Rue Sherbrooke, arguably the city's most elegant thoroughfare.
It runs through the city and is home to museums and other institutions.
The main shopping thoroughfare in Montréal is Rue Ste-Cathérine, a busy street lined with department stores, shops, and restaurants.
The Pointe-à-Callière Museum preserves the original foundations and streets of Vieux-Montreal, the city's birthplace.
This was the colonial town's heart, and its old buildings make it the city's most picturesque neighbourhood.
Most of the historic attractions and the famous waterfront promenade along the Vieux-Port are located here (Old Port).
The Plateau attracts fewer tourists, but it is the beating heart of Montreal's French-speaking population.
Some of the city's most popular restaurants can be found here, on Rue St. Denis and elsewhere in this neighbourhood, primarily shaped by successive waves of immigrants.
Mile End, on the outskirts, is characterized by small clusters of streets with distinct Italian, Portuguese, or Greek vibes.

HIGHLIGHTS

Top Tourist Attractions in Montreal

The Montreal Science Centre is conveniently located in the heart of the action in the Old Port (Vieux Port) area.

The heart of Montréal's Chinatown is located on Rue de la Gauchetière, which is lined with Chinese gates.

SEASONS TO TRAVEL

Best Months to Visit Montreal

The summer, June and July are the best time to visit Montreal.
August begins to become quite hot, and the likelihood of rain increases during this month.
The colourful fall foliage and crisp temperatures make September and early October particularly lovely.
November can bring freezing rain and snow, and by then, the leaves are usually gone, leaving a cold, bleak scene.

WORTH A VISIT

The Best Places to Visit in Montreal

Old Montreal

Old Montréal is the epicentre of tourism in the city.
The neighbourhood has a remarkable concentration of buildings from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, giving it the charming feel of a Parisian quarter.
Many historic structures have been converted into hotels, restaurants, galleries, and gift shops.
Stay in the city for a few sightseeing days, and Old Montreal is the best place to stay.
You can easily explore the city's many historic sites, streets, and landmarks on foot.
The Notre-Dame Basilica, a stroll down Rue Saint-Paul, a walk through Bonsecours Market, and a visit to Place Jacques-open-air Cartier's gathering space are just a few of the many things to do here.
The massive Ferris wheel (La Grande roue de Montréal) and the Tyrolienne MTL zipline are located on the waterfront for a little urban adventure.
Old Montreal comes alive in the evening, with patios and restaurants lining the streets.
You can eat outside in the summer, either on the street or rooftop patios.

Old Port

If you wander around Old Montreal, you'll most likely end up in the Old Port, a bustling area along the Saint Lawrence River (Vieux-Port).
There's plenty to do here, from riding the giant Ferris wheel to climbing the famous clock tower to screaming down a zipline that drops from dizzying heights across open stretches of water.
More sedate options include strolling through the area and viewing some of the ten fascinating public art displays, seeing a show at the IMAX theatre, or brushing up on your knowledge at the Montreal Science Center.
Grab a cup of coffee on one of the sunny patios if even those options sound exhausting.
Boat tours depart from the docks here during the summer.
There is even an artificial beach at the base of the clocktower with views back to the city or out over the river if you want to soak up the sun.
In the winter, take a spin around the massive ice rink.

Mont-Royal

The green lung near the city centre, Mont-Royal, rises 233 meters above the city.
A stroll through this lovely park allows visitors to see Jacques Cartier and King George VI monuments, relax by Lac-aux-Castors, and visit the cemeteries on the western slope, where the city's various ethnic groups have rested in peace for centuries.
A magnificent panorama of the entire 51-kilometre length of the Île de Montréal and St. Lawrence can be seen from the summit, or rather from a platform below the cross.
The view extends to the Adirondack Mountains in the United States of America on clear days.

Notre-Dame Basilica

Notre-Dame Basilica, Montréal's oldest church, was founded in 1656 and is now in a far grander incarnation than the original.
The neo-Gothic façade's twin towers face Place d'Armes. Victor Bourgeau created an ornate and opulent interior design.
The magnificent carved pulpit by sculptor Louis-Philippe Hébert (1850-1917), the Casavant Frères firm's 7,000-pipe organ, and the stained-glass windows depicting scenes from Montreal's founding are all highlights.
A 20-minute tour is included in the basilica admission fee. You can opt for a one-hour tour that provides more historical information and access to private areas such as the second balcony and crypt.

Oratoire Saint-Joseph

The Oratoire Saint-Joseph, located near Mount Royal Park's western exit, is dedicated to Canada's patron saint.
Its massive Renaissance-style domed basilica dating from 1924 is a pilgrim's mecca.
In 1904, Brother André of the Congrégation de Sainte-Croix built a small chapel here, where he performed miraculous healing acts for which he was canonized in 1982.
In the original chapel, his tomb is located in one of the sanctuary areas.
In a second chapel, votive gifts are displayed. Mont-Royal is reached via a cloister behind the church.
The observatory has an excellent northwest view of Montréal and Lac Saint-Louis.

With its sports fields, public pool, kiddy and dog parks, fountain, pond, and other amenities, Jarry Park attracts both residents and visitors.

Verdun

Verdun, a primarily residential neighbourhood located southwest of Downtown Montreal, has quickly grown into a destination in its own right since the community decided to update its restrictive alcohol regulations, which date back to the 1800s.
A craft brewery, cocktail bars, third-wave cafés, and avant-garde restaurants have all sprung up as a result of this loosening of attitudes, as well as some accomplished know-how in neighbourhood management.
There's plenty to try, from the seafood dynamo Chez Boss & fils and elevated Cambodian hotspot Les Street Monkeys to the pastry creators at Sweet Lee's. And cocktail artisans Bar Palco, a whole new generation of Montrealers, is tucking into much great stuff from both the established and establishing.

Plateau Mont-Royal

The Plateau Mont-Royal is a trendy neighbourhood encompassing several areas with very different moods.
It is located on the slope of Mont-Royal, Montreal's iconic mountain.
Hike up the mountain for a spectacular view of the city, or stay at the bottom and dance to the beat of the weekly tam-tam gathering.
Take a photo of one of the neighbourhood's colourful row houses, or have dinner at L'Express, a famous French restaurant that will make you feel like you've just stepped off the stoop into Paris.
Take a stroll down Saint-Denis Street and Mont-Royal Avenue to get a sense of what this traditionally French neighbourhood has to offer.

CULTURE & TRADITIONS

Montreal Culture and Traditions

Monocle Magazine has dubbed Montreal "Canada's Cultural Capital."
The city is the hub of French-language television, radio, theatre, film, multimedia, and print publishing in Canada.
The Quartier Latin is a bustling neighbourhood full of cafés with literary and musical activity.
Montreal has a distinct local culture due to its many cultural communities.
Montreal, as a North American city, shares many of the cultural characteristics of the continent's other metropolises, such as representations in all traditional manifestations of high culture, a long-standing tradition of jazz and rock music, and tentative experimentation in the visual arts, theatre, music, and dance.
Despite this, Montreal has developed a distinct cultural identity due to its location at the crossroads of French and English traditions.
Another distinctive feature of Montreal culture life is the vibrancy of the city's downtown, especially during the summer, which is fueled by cultural and social events or festivals.
