Quebec's cultural capital and the second-largest city in Canada, Montreal never ceases to please those who visit. With pretty, historic streets, umpteen museums, remarkable street art, and a significant number of festivals every now and then, there's so much to explore.
The francophone city's location on an island in the St. Lawrence River also makes it a popular hub for activities like river surfing and kayaking. During winters, make sure not to miss out on an exciting cross-country skiing experience. After a long day of exciting adventures, sit back and enjoy some of the country's finest cuisines at any of the numerous cafes, bars, and fine dining venues. If you've got some more time to spare, extend your stay and pay a visit to Saint Helen's Island or Notre Dame Island, both of which are only minutes away from the city centre. All in all, Montreal definitely lives up to its reputation as one of North America's liveliest cities!
