Join us on a holiday to Montreal
Montreal holidays deliver a unique blend of breath-taking landscapes, unique cultures, and endless activities.
From watching farmers selling their produce at Jean Talon Market to the feeling like the only person in the world in the secluded serenity of the Montreal Botanical Garden, a trip here means you’ll always have something to do that fits your mood.
As it’s such a large, historic city, there are plenty of sightseeing day tours available, shepherding you through the settlement’s most Important sites. Montreal is also known for its excellent public transportation and extensive network of bike paths, meaning you can zip from attraction to attraction with ease. In fact, we’d argue no Montreal itinerary is complete without a cycle through the Gay Village, Chinese Garden, and along the banks of the St Lawrence River – where the explorer Jacques Cartier was the first European to make landfall in this part of North America.
If you prefer to see all the views of the city in one fell swoop, then climbing up nearby Mont-Royal delivers that and more. Or, to see the sights from within the city, you can climb Montreal Tower instead. Once back down in the city make sure to try some of the restaurants that call it home; thanks to the city’s international nature there are hundreds of options for everyone to enjoy, even if you’re not usually a fan of French-inspired food. Really, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it in Montreal’s diverse streets.
Intrigued by the sights and sounds of a short break in Montreal? There’s certainly plenty to take in, and we think one of the best ways to enjoy a Montreal holiday to its fullest is on a Canada tour. Explore the best of North America on a maple leaf trail with a tour of Montreal along the way - it’s a stop you won’t forget.
