About Montréal

Despite reaching the age of 350, Montréal is a young, dynamic city. Its numerous attractions and events make a stay in this city a highly memorable and enjoyable prospect.

Montréal boasts several major festivals throughout the year. Come and dance a whole week away at the International Jazz Festival, split your sides at the Just for Laughs Festival, indulge your passion for cinema at the Festival des Films du Monde, exercise your taste buds at the Mondial de la bière (world beer festival) or be dazzled by the fireworks at the international fireworks competition. And don't forget the Canadian Grand Prix!

When night falls, a host of bars and brasseries await you, from tiny brew pubs to huge multi-storey discotheques where the atmosphere is electric. Something to satisfy night owls of every feather!

No trip to Montréal would be complete without a visit to the Old Port, on foot, by bike, or on inline rollerskates. Between the restaurants of Old Montreal, the shops on St. Denis Street, the lookout on Mount Royal, and the bars on "The Main" (St. Lawrence Boulevard)... We bet you'll want to extend your stay!
