Flights to Montreal, Quebec

Initially a missionary village when founded in 1642, Montreal is now the largest inland port in the world. While the French maintained control until 1760, they then battled the British and are still smarting from the harsh blow. Resentment runs deep and long and the French continue to dream of a day of sovereignty. Evidence of English architecture can be found in the affluent neighbourhood of Westmont, while the Old Port of Montreal is the essence of old France. One of the largest French-speaking cities in the world, Montreal is smack in the midst of an overwhelming number of English speaking Americans and Canadians. An island set along the St. Lawrence River, Montreal offers many waterway excursions, while Mount Royal, just north of the downtown core, gives visitors a delightful view of the city below.

Only 60 km (37 mi) from the state of New York, Montreal plays an important role in North American trade and tourism. Inviting outdoor terraces lure tourist to dine in the summer, while an underground network of tunnels can lead you to hotels, restaurants, metro stations, movie theatres and more on chilly winter days.

While English and French dominate the city, a rich cultural diversity is visible throughout. From Chinatown with roots dating back to the 1860s, to Little Italy, Montreal touches many cultures. This diversity is also found in the astounding array of restaurants in the city. Whether your taste buds crave Greek, Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, Italian or Szechwan cuisine, you’ll find it all and more. Home of one of the world’s best known Jazz Festival, Montreal also hosts the Just for Laughs Festival. The city’s joie de vivre is contagious and the vibrancy of its nightlife well-known.
