Bonjour and welcome to Montreal.

Strolling around Old Town

This Canadian city offers guests a European flare that is second to none (except of course to Europe itself). Named the city of design by UNESCO, Montreal provides beautiful architecture and views that are to be rivaled. As one of Canada’s leading sources of culture, fashion, and finance, it is easy to see why the possibilities are endless for this city. Whether you spend your day shopping on Saint Catherine St or Hiking Mont Royal, it is never a dull moment in Montreal.

Enjoying the Montreal nightlife

Old Montreal: Stroll down the streets of old Montreal and stop in some cafes on the way. The European atmosphere will make you almost forget you’re not in France.
Saint Catherine Street: Shopping, shopping, and more shopping. If you’re anything like me and LOVE shopping then this street is a must do! Hundreds of new and familiar stores lined up in one location… I must be in paradise.
Nightlife: Montreal has provided some of the funniest nights for my friends and I. Make sure you go out an experience the nightlife, there is something for everyone here.
