Home to a vibrant, eccentric Québecois culture where everyone puts effort into looking good. Cafes galore, free-spirited, unique neighbourhoods, good public transit, great restaurants, real arts...
Con
English can be a barrier at times in Francophone neighborhoods, plus summer and winter months can be extreme.
In a nutshell
Smaller, politer, cleaner, cheaper, shorter, prettier, more French Canadien version of NYC.
158 Reviews This lovely city hall building was built between 1872 and 1878. Located right across the street from Place Jacques Cartier it is right by the Champ de Mars. The balcony is where Charles de Gaulle uttered the words Vive le Québec Libre!" ("Long live free Québec!") which helped to strain relations...
81 Reviews Overlooking the plane town of Montreal, the hill of Mount Royal (that gave name to the city) is at the same time, the "lungs" and the best sightseeing point of it. Small lakes and statues embellish this recreational area of Montreal
4 Reviews and 65 Opinions Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Taylor got married here. If it was good enough for Liz and Richard...it...
4 Reviews and 685 Opinions Boutique Hotel with good location. Not cheap but good oversized rooms with old world charm -...
28 Reviews The lines are long as the deli is famous :) It is at least famous enough that someone created a musical about it called Schwartz: The Musical! Schwart'z seems to be a must-go tourist spot for the famous Montreal smoked meat. We got there around lunch time on Canada Day, and the lines were quite...
8 Reviews I like Bens for the atmosphere that hasn't changed there in ages. You might find some regulars sleeping on "their" table, waiters chatting about the "meaning of life" with "their" customers. It's quite an experience. Just walk around to see all the people that have sit in the restaurant...you're now...
8 Reviews Can I give them something like -10 ? xD This place sucks ! The guard kicked out my friends for nothing. After, he wanted to beat everyone. We had a guestlist and they made us waited until it doesn't work. He had to pay the cover and we were out less than hours after. Don't even go for the view,...
11 Reviews I used to go very often there but am never going again. Too many times the barmaids don't give the right change and yell at you that she's gonna call the doorman, and he will kick you out, if you disagree. Once my friend gave a 10 dollars bill and the pitcher was 5$. She did'nt gave any change back...
103 Reviews It takes you to almost all the places in Montreal, it´s safe and easy way to know the city. The buses are also good, or you can walk to most of the places, too. Bikes are really popular in Montreal as well.
13 Reviews The options depend on what you want to spend. There is a bus the "747" just outside the terminal for about $10 Canadian. A taxi will be about $40. A regular bus is $3, but you have to get yourself and your luggage to the bus terminal, a little ways away.
60 Reviews In Downtown Montreal is a series of shopping malls and food courts, all linked by underground tunnels and providing links into the Metro systems. This is known as the underground city and lets Montrealians get around in winter without ever going outside. One of the major malls is the Bonaventure...
14 Reviews The Bonsecours Market is a must-see on any Montreal visit, because it combines insights into the fascinating city's past, present and future. Designed by prominent architects George Browne and William Footner, and opened in 1849, the market's shops and stalls feature a wide range of furniture,...
28 Reviews I was somewhat worried about communicating in Montreal, especially as most of the signs are in French, but I didn't have a problem at all. We didn't run into anyone who didn't speak english. Waiters/waitresses were no exception, right down to the worker at the bakery. Most menus were completly in...
23 Reviews Seriously, this city is a very safe one. I'm a young woman and I live here, and I've always felt completely comfortable. One exception was when I was walking home with a drunk friend and was approached by several men who tried to convince my friend to go home with them- but then again it was 3am and...
31 Reviews We drove our car up to Montreal from NY. The driving up there is a little different, so I recommend walking or taking the metro if you can. A lot of the streets are one way, but there aren't huge DO NOT ENTER signs or anything, just an arrow pointing in the direction of traffick. In many places the...
10 Reviews Before we get started, I have a complaint about Montreal. My complaint is with Rue Crescent. Please do not visit here. I wish someone had told me. This really is the worst street in Montreal. Somehow famed for its nightlife, I cannot see anything noteworthy or significant. If you are interested in...
16 Reviews Old Montreal is nice to visit, but keep away from the restaraunts and boutiques. There is one building with small boutiques in it, and "restaraunts" in the basement. One shop was selling art of Montreal starting at a mere $375. Um, this is a tourist area. How many tourists carry that much cash...
17 Reviews Many people think about keeping their "core" warm, but what about the lower half? There are some really great fitting and comfortable jeans available that keep you warm. They are called Winter Blues Jeans and they are perfect for travelers in the colder months. They are only available in a few...
12 Reviews Place Jacques Cartier Is the place to be In the summertime It Is one of the busiest places In Old Montreal as crowds gather to watch street performers and the end of performance just drop some cash in the hat, Jewelry being sold by tiny table vendors, Artist that will drawing your pic weather It...
8 Reviews The Formula 1 Air Canada Grand prix is the biggest sport event of the summer in the city and one of the biggest among all the formula 1 grand prix in the world. During 3 days Montreal is the capital of the F1, Montrealers and lot of visitors from all over the world go out and enjoy the many events...
7 Reviews I found these 3 performers while walking on Ste-Catherine street. Picture 1 is the first musician I noticed. He was playing something looking like Spanish "castañuelas" (but not quite) and hitting them with the thingie that looks like a bike saddle, making a sound like horse shoes when a horse is...
Architectural/Culture (Old and New)
40 Reviews This area of Montreal was known as the Golden Square Mile, for its remarkable concentration of wealth and power, mostly Anglophone. This hall, now part of McGill University, is representative. It was orignally built in 1907 as a private residence for Sir Mortimer Davis (1866-1928), Montreal born...

Bienvenue a Montreal! (Welcome!!!)
I lived in Montreal from December 2002 until April 2004. It's a very unique city to visit. A lot of people ask me what it was like to live in. I initially found it difficult to describe but a friend...
I love visiting cities, and Montreal was a great quick get-away from our home in New Jersey, about a 7-hour drive. This is the view from our hotel window. What an unexpected delight to throw open the...
I've been around the world and the only place i can see myself live, is here in Montreal. Just big enough to have many great activities (the Jazz festival, the formula one Grand-Prix, many film...
I think the entire summer is a festival in Montreal, maybe to combat the long winters spent indoors or underground. Our first day we caught the tail end of the Jazz Festival, when we came back the...
I visited Montreal on a last minute travel deal. I had always wanted to visit Quebec but had viewed Montreal as its poor substitute. Boy , was I wrong! This is a great french city with tons to do and...
