Have you always dreamed of vacationing in Montreal and you’ve finally booked your flight tickets? Excellent! Visiting Montreal means discovering a city where you will never be bored!
Some useful information for your stay in Montreal
When we talk about Montreal, we also talk about Canada, and thus… maple syrup! During your vacation, take the time to enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring pancakes generously topped with maple syrup, of course! For savory meals, try a local dish: poutine, which consists of fries topped with gravy, meat, and melted cheese. It’s a hearty meal that will keep you warm during the cold Canadian winter days.
Indeed, if you book a flight to Montreal during the winter season, you’ll experience freezing temperatures, perfect for ice skating on Beaver Lake in Montreal, not to mention the beautiful snowy landscapes.
If your stay in Montreal is during the milder temperatures of spring, you can stroll through the city’s many green spaces, such as the Botanical Garden or Mount Royal Park (which gives the city its name).
By the way, did you know that Mount Royal Park in Montreal and Central Park in New York share a common link? They were both designed by the same landscape architect!
Discover Montreal
Vacationing in Montreal also means shopping… underground! The Montreal Underground City (known as RESO) allows both locals and tourists to walk comfortably in winter and stay cool in summer. This extensive underground network includes museums, restaurants, and shops. It’s a unique and essential experience for a family trip, as a couple, alone, or with friends.
Don’t miss exploring Old Montreal to experience a more classic side of the city. And if you need an extra reason, know that the lyrics of Robert Charlebois’ famous song "Je reviendrai à Montréal" were written by someone from Montpellier…
