Known for its many festivals, captivating arts and culture
scene and abundant green spaces, Montréal is an exciting 45 RESTAURANTS
metropolis that’s both sophisticated and laid-back. Every
year, it hosts a diverse array of events, exhibitions and 53 CHARTERED BUS SERVICES
gatherings that attract bright minds and business leaders
from around the world. While masterful chefs continue 57 EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
to elevate the city’s reputation as a gourmet destination,
creative artists and artisans draw admirers in droves to
the haute couture ateliers and art galleries that line the

streets. Often the best way to get to know a place is on
foot: walk through any one of Montréal’s colourful and
vibrant neighbourhoods and you’ll discover an abundance
of markets, boutiques, restaurants and local cafés—
diverse expressions of Montréal’s signature joie de vivre.
The energy is palpable on the streets, in the metro and
throughout the underground pedestrian network, all of
which are remarkably safe and easy to navigate.
But what about the people? Montréalers are naturally
charming and typically bilingual, which means connecting
with locals is easy. Maybe that’s why Montréal has earned
a spot as a leading international host city. From friendly
conversations to world-class dining, entertainment and
events, there are a lot of reasons to love Montréal.
