Montreal Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Montreal – A stunning Canadian metropolis combining old-world architecture with modern dashes. Start planning a trip of your own after checking out the best sights here.

When Mark Twain visited #Montreal in the 19th century, he was so taken by its many churches that he nicknamed it “The City of 100 Bell Towers.” Marvel at the imposing stone façade of Christ Church Cathedral, or stand beneath the great arched ceiling of the beautiful Notre Dame Basilica.

If you’re a foodie, you’re in luck, because the residents of Montreal adore a good meal, whether it’s poutine from a street-side bistro or fresh produce from the farmers market.

A #tour of Montreal will take you across cobblestone streets, through architecture that dates back to the 1600s, and to its wonderful its numerous green spaces. The city’s inhabitants take great pride in Montreal’s natural beauty, and hikes up Mont Royal or along the St. Lawrence River are frequent activities for locals. The riverfront and the mountain are full of striking photo opportunities.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Montreal is insane, the nightlife, food, entertainment, architecture, people, etc. are out of this world awesome. It’s really a 24/7 “joie de vivre” type city

The vibe of Montreal is something special that not a lot of cities have

I live in the suburbs of Boston and it’s kinda crazy that a city with such a fascinating and unique culture lies only a 5 hour road trip away.

Montreal is the only city outside the U.S. I've had the opportunity to visit and it left quite an impression on me. Beautiful place.

I just came back for a week vacation in Montréal... absolutely incredible. I highly recommend staying in old town, where you will be walking distance to the square and also the pier. An absolutely stunning city with so much culture and magic

[spongebob]

I have lived in Toronto for the past 20 years and visited Montreal numerous times... and it's always something new and fun to do in Montreal and very safe at night in Montreal with a vibrant life if I spoke French I would move there in a heartbeat

[kyubestie]

Canada is extremely awesome! They are welcoming and is kind to everyone.

My daughter was born in this city. I have a good memory of this city. Its nature is amazing. If you like to visit an old fashion style city with a beautiful nature, don't miss travelling to Montreal.

Montreal is beautiful and I plan to go back there soon. Nice people, cool bars and it is one of the few cities where I feel free to be myself.
