Montreal is sophisticated, it’s French, it’s progressive, and it’s an amazing place to go for a relaxing – or energetic – vacation. Located on an island at the junction of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers, Montreal has been a gigantic trading post for more than 300 years. This trading post has grown to be a leader in commerce, but also an internationally recognized patron of the fine arts.

How ever will you find the time to see and do all that’s available in Montreal? You’ll want to step into the modern Montreal, with its skyscrapers, museums theaters and glittering nightlife. You’ll also want to visit the Old City, a maze of narrow streets and filled with restored buildings and homes. Shoppers will think they’ve found paradise at Sainte-Catherine Street’s boutiques. And when Montreal’s weather shows her less-than-desirable side, head for Montreal’s underground city, an impressive pedestrian network more than 19 miles long, where you’ll have access to hundreds of shops and restaurants. No matter what your travel log looks like, we’re sure your stay in Montreal will be magnifique!
