Montreal Travel Guide

Listen to Jazz: Downtown, Old Town, the Latin Quarter, all over, this is a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike, especially in late June and early July during the renowned Montreal Jazz Festival.
Savor Top-Notch Cuisine at Affordable Prices: Experience all of French cuisine's permutations—traditional, haute, bistro, original Quebecois—along with the city's fusion hybrids and ethnic restaurants the way the locals do: by ordering the table d'hote specials. You'll get to indulge in three or more courses for a fixed price that is only slightly more than the cost of an a la carte main course alone. Most full-service restaurants offer the option, if only at midday.
Explore Vieux-Montreal: The old quarter has an overwhelmingly European flavor. Wander Place Jacques-Cartier, the most engaging of the district's squares; explore museums and the stunning architecture of the churches; stroll or meander on a bike along the revitalized waterfront.
Shop: Browse the shops of world-class domestic designers, from the up-and-coming to the well established; search for Inuit (Eskimo) sculptures of the highest order (with prices to match); and take in the scores of eclectic antiques shops along rue Notre-Dame between rue Guy and avenue Atwater.

The duality of Canadian life has been called the "Twin Solitudes." One Canada, English and Calvinist in origin, is said to be staid, smug, and work-obsessed. The other, French and Catholic but highly secular, is thought of as more creative, lighthearted, and inclined to see pleasure as the end purpose of labor. Or so go the stereotypes. Read More
