Endless Holiday

Beautiful lakes, fresh air and stunning mountain scenery are all characteristics travellers can look forward to on a trip to Montréal. One of the world’s most picturesque destinations, something for everyone can be found in this lovely Canadian city. Vacation home rentals and other Montréal accommodation options are available in a broad range of prices. For this reason, virtually any traveller can find lodging that is both affordable and comfortable. When visiting Montréal, holidaymakers should consider stopping by the following landmarks and attractions:

Museums
 
Montréal’s museums are situated in a part of the city that is famous for its outstanding architecture. It is referred to as the “Golden Square Mile,” and is found on Montréal’s west side in the city’s downtown section. In this region, one will find the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts and the McCord Museum. Both museums are worth seeing, particularly if one is interested in unusual works of art.

Old Montréal

Strolling through Old Montréal is a favourite activity of both local residents and tourists. A beautiful waterfront, bed and breakfast hotels, elegant dining and quaint cobblestone streets all add to the historical flair found in this charming part of the city.

Shopping

Shopping enthusiasts should consider visiting Montréal’s public markets, and there are many from which to choose, such as the Little Italy district, Marché Atwater Shopping Complex and the Marché Jean-Talon Market. Great merchandise can be found at all these establishments and certain vendors will offer better prices for customers who engage in bargaining.

Montreal Nightlife
 
Well known for its thriving nightlife, travellers can enjoy all the excitement the city has to offer from dusk until dawn. Top nightlife destinations such as the rue Crescent and the rue St-Denis are popular among visitors and residents alike. Restaurants, clubs and lounges offer friendly environments for a wide diversity of patrons.

Montréal Jazz Festival

Visitors should also consider a trip to Montréal in July when the yearly Montréal Jazz Festival takes place. However, those who plan to enjoy this famous event should make reservations far in advance, as Montréal accommodation can be difficult to find during the festival.

Montreal’s Secret City

Another favourite Montréal attraction is the renowned “underground city.” The structure is actually a set of complexes situated just under the commercial and residential streets of Québec. It is often referred to as the “indoor city” as well, and is the largest structure of its kind in the world. Originally designed by Vincent Ponte, who created the tunnels in the mid-1900s as a way to conceal the city’s railway tracks. At one time, the structure featured only one tunnel, but was quickly expanded in subsequent years.

Fortunately, vacation home rentals in Montréal are available to suit any personal preference and most hotels and resorts can be booked for a reasonable cost. A beautiful city with virtually every entertainment venue and cultural attraction one could imagine, Montreal is sure to please travellers from around the world for many years to come.
