Nestled against the St. Lawrence River, Montreal has a European vibe that keeps tourists flocking to this city all year round.

Wander through the cobblestoned streets of Old Montreal past the ornate Notre Dame Cathedral and dozens of art galleries and shops. The Plateau's hip bohemian vibe is great for a night out with lots of trendy restaurants and bars or great vintage shopping during the day. St. Catherine's Street is home to major chains, high-end boutiques and department stores. Skate on Bonsecours Basin in the winter, spend a summer day at La Ronde, the amusement park built on a man-made island, or hike up Mont Royal itself for impressive views of the city.
