Montreal Airfares

The vibrant city of Montreal is the second largest in Canada, with a population of about 3.4 million people. The city is actually located on an island and connected to the mainland by a multitude of bridges.

The city was once divided between the French and English and signs of this are still evident today. Today, additional cultures influence the city as well, with mini communities of varying nationalities, such as Little Italy or Chinatown.

Old Montreal is bursting with history – old buildings, ancient artefacts and cobblestone streets – and to get a feel of the city’s past, you need to explore. In contrast, Downtown Montreal is modern, with shops and buzzing restaurants serving cuisines of all scents and tastes. Museums are in abundance and you can learn about everything from the traditional fur trade and archaeology, to creepy crawlies and even UFOs!

The outdoor cafes are a great place to enjoy a coffee in the summer and watch the world go by. At night, the clubs are open until 3am - the latest of any in the country. Alternatively, you could have a gamble at the massive Casino de Montreal.

The city does get very cold in the winter, but don’t let that deter you because there’s a vast underground infrastructure that links up restaurants, walkways, subways and shops. When you visit Montreal, don’t forget to pack your walking shoes – you’re likely to need them!
