4 Reasons to go to Montreal
1. For a Breathtaking Panorama
A reminder of a timeless subterranean intrusion of magma, Mount-Royal is a small wooded hill that stands at the crossroads between the business centre and the trendy Plateau district. The view of downtown and the St. Lawrence River has to be seen, especially in the fall, when the plane trees are aglow...
2. For a Break in an Oasis of Greenery
The Montreal Botanical Garden is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the world. Its 75 hectares, with exhibition greenhouses, an arboretum, thematic gardens, form a haven of tranquillity just a stone’s throw from the historical centre. Another green lung, La Fontaine Park, is a meeting place for walkers and aspiring cyclists.
3. To See its 100 Bell Towers
With its 80 parishes and 100 churches, Montréal has an impressive concentration of religious buildings, the result of an out-of-the-ordinary historical heritage. Need help deciding on one? Try the famous Notre-Dame Basilica, or for the stunning Christ Church Cathedral, nestled among the skyscrapers in the centre.
4. To Go for a Stroll Through the Montreal Underground
Dug out to protect the inhabitants from the harsh winter conditions, the city’s underground network stretches over 30 kilometres with restaurants and other shops. It is above all connected to Sainte Catherine Street, which, with its 1,200 stores and 11-kilometre span, is the one of the major shopping streets in Canada.
