Montreal occupies an island in the St Lawrence River and blends French and North American influences in a way unlike any other major Canadian city. Food, architecture, music and neighbourhood life are central to its appeal.
Old and contemporary Montreal
Old Montreal offers historic streets and waterfront architecture, while neighbourhoods such as the Plateau reveal a more residential, creative city. Museums, markets and restaurants easily fill several days.
A city shaped by season
Montreal changes dramatically through the year, from summer festivals and terraces to snow-covered winter streets. It pairs naturally with Quebec City and the Laurentians.
