Creative , cosmopolitan , cutting-edge and chic
Montréal has blossomed from small beginnings into one of the world ’ s most modern and dynamic metropolises . Its juxtaposition of French and British influences give rise to an exuberant creativity , reflected in its rich and festive cultural life . When it comes to the fundamentals of getting to know Montréal , several attractions and neighbourhoods stand out , so be sure to put these on your to-do-in-Montréal list .
The city takes its name from Mont-Royal , the triple-peaked hill which reigns over the downtown core . Affectionately called ‘ the mountain ’ by locals , this oasis of greenery is the city ’ s very own Central Park and is the most popular place to snap a Montréal selfie .
No visit is complete with meandering through the charming cobblestone streets of Old Montréal . Its remarkable collection of buildings date back to the 17th , 18th and 19th centuries , so you can literally see how the city first began developing . Best explored on foot , or by horse-drawn carriage , there ’ s a delightful Parisian-style feel to this district and it ’ s where you ’ ll find Place Jacques-Cartiers , Place d ’ Armes and the iconic Notre Dame Basilica .
The city ’ s busiest neighbourhood is Downtown , where modern skyscrapers sit alongside historic buildings . The area is an ideal spot for a shopping spree with more than 3,000 shops and boutiques , particularly around Ste-Catherine Street . Go underground to discover Montréal ’ s vast network of pedestrian walkways which link metro stations to shopping plazas for about 20 miles . It ’ s a lifesaver when you want to stroll , shop and eat away from the hot sun or the freezing snow .
Other notable city attractions include the huge Saint Joseph ’ s Oratory , Atwater Market , Jean Talon Market , Bonsecours Market , Montreal Botanical Garden , the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts , and the Biosphere which is a remnant of the 1967 Expo .
Considered as Canada ’ s cultural juggernaut , Montréal has nearly 90 festivals a year including the Montréal International Jazz and World Film Festivals .
Getting there : The flight from the UK to Montréal is 7½ hours .
Best time to go : Warm summer temperatures make exploring on foot much more enjoyable and is when most of the festivals take place . The winters may be cold and snowy , but this is a city that knows how to stay warm , with an Underground City stretching out beneath most of downtown Montréal .
