Did you know that Montreal is the second largest city in Canada and the largest in the Province of Quebec? It’s true, and in fact, it is the second largest French-speaking city in the Western world after Paris. How about that!
What is more, Montreal is renowned for being a bilingual and multicultural metropolis. It is quite the lively city filled with culture, history and an amazing night life.
A multicultural community calls for a multicultural culinary experience. Montreal has restaurants to suit every taste and fancy, from famous Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches and Montreal-style bagels to Little Italy and Chinatown. You can feast on any specialty your heart desires…
To make the food go down, take a stroll downtown and shop till you drop either above ground or below. The selection of stores is endless. You are sure to find whatever you are looking for, and a few things you weren’t too!
When night falls, be sure to check out Crescent Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard for your choice of bars and bistros and lots of boogying, and if in season, why not catch a Montreal Canadiens’ game?
Depending on the season, Montreal offers a variety of special activities to enjoy. In the summer, the city welcomes the Grand Prix and NASCAR races, the Fireworks Festival, the International Jazz and Just for Laughs Festivals. Why not try a roller coaster ride at the amusement park, La Ronde, quite the sensation! Without question winter spells hockey, but also offers many outdoor treats in Old Montreal or even in Mount Royal Park, one of the largest green spaces in the city where ice-skating and sledding have become a tradition.
Old Montreal is also the place to visit historical monuments, like City Hall or the Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica. You can also stimulate your mind by visiting the Pointe-à-Callière Museum or the Montreal Science Centre.
Montreal is the place to visit and experience through the POINT 3 Intensive Program.
