Montreal is one of the most beautiful cities of Canada. This incredible city will introduce you to a whole new way of living life to the fullest. Locals call it “joie de vivre” that means “joy of living” and Montreal’s people seem to be the best. Montreal has a superb atmosphere, and it possesses a vibrancy and excitement that you won’t find anywhere else.

You can see the culture oozing out of the sidewalks. Watch life-going by from an outdoor café, shop in an underground shopping mall, dine at a fine French restaurant and follow with a jazz club, and enjoy. Even after your many visits, you will never lose the excitement of new things to experience.

Montreal’s seasons are distinct, summers are hot and sunny, and also it can sometimes be unbearably humid. Fall is bit cooler but still very pleasant and also has added the bonus of the beautiful autumn leaves that are numerous in a city full of maple trees. Winters are cold and snowy.

There is large underground city of shopping malls linked to hotels, office buildings and metro (the subway stations of Montreal) stations. Spring regenerates the city, in this the days are long and fairly warm, and this is an ideal time for visiting this wonderful city.

Montreal is a major transportation centre. Highways and railways meet here, so there many connections by bus and rail to all over Canada and the U.S.A. There is one international airport with direct flights to all major Canadian and most U.S. cities. Trudeau International (YUL), serves all the scheduled and charter flights, while a second airport, Mirabel (YMX), is used for the cargo flights.

Montreal’s Smoked Meat Sandwich is world famous; this is usually without chemicals and additives. The other local popular food item known over Quebec is poutine. A bed of homemade French fries is covered in the cheese curds and smothered in gravy. The two places for poutine in Montreal are Chez Claudette at the corner of Laurier near St. Denis, and the Montreal Pool Room, a well-known dingy fast food place on St. Laurent Blvd. south of Ste. Catherine Street.
