Montreal Family Travel Tips


Family Overview: Montréal, Canada

Montréal, an island city on the St. Lawrence River, is bilingual (French and English), multicultural, and full of fun for families. For kids much of the spirit of the city is found outdoors. Start exploring in Old Montréal, where the town was founded in 1642. Stroll the narrow streets of this historic area lined with 19th-century buildings, many turned into art galleries and cafés. Jugglers, mimes, face painters, and other street performers enliven Jacques-Cartier, the area's central square. Bonsecours Market, originally a produce center opened in 1847, has jewelry, clothing, and craft shops. Ornate and impressive with exceptional stained-glass windows, the Notre Dame Basilica is one of the largest churches in North America. Gradeschoolers may appreciate the structure more during the evening sound and light show, a colorful multimedia presentation of the history of the city and the church. Read More

  • We are coming to Montreal on 11/5-11/8 to participate in a Seniors Hockey Tournament. The only info I have on the ice rink is that it may be on 3400 Rue de Bellchasse. Can you verify that this info (rink) is correct and if there are any hotels CLOSE to the rink? Thank you. (MERCI)
