Speaking as someone who has lived in the city and goes back frequently to visit, I would stay away from the touristy sites if you want to get the best experience. My favourite places are Marche Jean Talon (Ryad for Turkish Pastries), Boulangerie Le Pain dans le Voiles, Boulangerie Hof Kelsten, Boulangerie Kouign Amann, Patati Patata, Cafe Saigon, Square St. Louis. (Clearly I visit to eat lol). I'm always content to just grab a Bixi and see the city by bike since it's very cyclable and the green space is so beautiful.

Love Montreal. My favourite city in Canada from what I have explored. The French influence permeates in a great way - especially the art, food and music. The Botanic Gardens there are fantastic - its big with great vistas very cleverly landscaped together to provide beautiful expose of many different horticultural themes across the world - Japanese - Chinese - First Nations a few of them. They have some special exhibitions in the summertime so I would check that out. Then the green space is spectacular in many places and getting around via the Metro a breeze. Great place - will definitely be back. That Van Gogh immersion show looks great and I would definitely explore things like this which are pretty regular events in this artsy city.

Hello Alina McLeod, just watch your video of Montréal City, QC Canada to see your point of view and where you've been going. I was born in Brossard (South shore of Montreal) and lives in Pierrefonds since 2016 (Montreal Island). So I loves to watch people from Canada, USA, Europe, etc... to see what they like or don't. 1st) Yes, bagel St-Viateur is one of the best for bagel, you've done a great pick. 2nd) Schwartz is often full, it is a classic place to go and nice pick with Smoked meat poutine :) 3rd) Great idea to go on the area of Mont-Royal (nice places to go & restaurants) and of course the Old Montreal / Old Port for tourist even for Montrealers. 4th) If you come back in few years, I can, if you want made some restaurants suggestions and places to go to help you better. Also as a bonus comment, I might said to you that your black sunglasses is really great on you and facial expression too. I just saw that you also have a video of Quebec City, QC Canada, so I will see it after and do the same thing (but shorter then this one) :) Enjoy Alina and have a wonderful day.

Hi Alina! Thanks for taking me back to my birthplace and hometown, Montréal! I don't get home often enough, so it's a nice treat to visit very familiar places from afar.

I enjoyed the Rue de Catherine which is the city’s main shopping drag and you’ll find among other stores, Hudson’s Bay there and just below the street is the famous underground city where people go to escape bad weather, during the summer and the long cold winter. Two things about Montreal deserve mention: you’ll see the stadium where the 1976 Summer Olympics was opened, memorable for Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci receiving the first perfect 10 scores in the history of the sport and the Habitat from the Expo ‘67 designed by the Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. In closing, the best eatery I’ve ever been to near the English medium university McGill, now sadly closed, was the fresh food market Marche Movenpick. Some of the best food, served buffet style, I’ve ever had in my life.

[@gracedagostino5231]

Yes 1976 what a time to be in Montreal. We drove up from Philadelphia and had tickets to the gymnastics. We tried to trade the gym tickets for the track and field, but no one would trade with us. Well, that turned out better than we ever could imagine, as we ended up at The Forum, and witnessed the first perfect 10 score by the great Nadia Comaneci (who I had never heard of). Also, we were huge hockey fans, and I was in awe of The Forum in Montreal, where Atwater meets Saint Catherine as we in Philly would say. Also, the Canadiens, had just beaten my beloved Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final, preventing us from win our 3rd straight Stanley Cup. We had some good-natured fun talking with the Canadiens fans, as they would rub it in. My comeback would be, at least The Flyers beat The Red Army, where the Canadiens only tied them. I fell in love with your great city!

Up until 1976, Montreal was by far the most important city in Canada in all respects, French or English. Now it is a distant second to Toronto. The worst era for Montreal was the 1990s. It was descending to Third World level. All that was left during that epoch was sports and arts, just like in poor countries. Fortunately, things have recovered for Montreal. It does not need to be #1 in Canada. It is great as it is.

In terms of fun, affordability, safety AND culture, it’s no 1 by far.

[@devdroid9606]

If youre visiting in summer (the best time) do not overlook the newly pedestrianised streets, which are closed off to traffic. These are avenue du Mont-Royal, Villeray, boul. St -Laurent (only some weekends) and of course, the whole area around Place-des-arts. One thing to avoid: driving. Try not to being a car, and if you do, park it in the hotel's secure underground parking garage. Biking is an excellent way to get around and for trips of less than 40 consecutive minutes Bixi is best. For longer duration see bike rental shops. Biking from Old Montreal along the canal is popular and McClaulsen isnthe biggest biergarten -type place on the canal.

I've traveled most of North America, visited many cities. Montreal is THE city for me. It has quiet, residential areas great to raise families, it has much more dense areas great for socializing and experiencing dense culture. It has upscale areas filled with mansions and lower rent areas that amazingly are both clean and low crime. Most everywhere is easy to access with public transportation. Winters can be long and cold in Canada, but Montreal has a huge "underground city" in which you can easily spend all day shopping, eating, going to the theater, etc., without ever needing to wear a jacket. Rents in Montreal are extremely reasonable compared to most everywhere else in North America. The downsides are that employment here requires at least some fluency in French. Vistitng however is not an issue if you don't speak French, as most Montrealers speak at least some English. If you start a conversation with a halting "Bonjour", most Montrealers will promptly switch to English when they hear your accent. I've heard many criticize Montreal (Quebec province) for having a seperatist movement, wanting to break away from the rest of Canada. To that though I would ask, where in the world can you have a vote to separate a country, have that vote come in at a virtual 50/50 dead heat, and not have violence in the street? Only in Quebec. This is a very civilized and peaceful place.

[@roshanramesh2634]

@@skinnflint you may not find a Substance in it, But I'm sure there are many people who can understand what I meant. the reason most of the cities across Canada and united states are uninspiring is post world War suburbia. Cities across Canada and united states used to be compact, vibrant and full of character before 1940s. But after that cities started building cities for cars instead for people. The car dependant suburbia, the same strip malls and big box stores. There is a reason why people in culturally rich European, Asian, and south american cities don't live in detached homes in sprawling suburbia and that's what makes Montreal so special, it's feels more like a European city rather than a post world War north American city. Everyone wants to live in a detached homes with front and back yard including me and even people in Europe but when we live in cities we have to make sacrifices for our collective good. I'm not saying we all should live in a 20 story condo tower but living in a 3 or 4 storey condo or townhouse with modest front and backyard is not horrible look at charming European cities like Zurich and amsterdam. Luckily urbanism is taking over north America and you can see the results many cities and removing single family zoning and building mixed use transit oriented developments, bike lanes are popping up and cities are tearing down highways inside cities. Please don't mistake me I'm not crazy to write these long paragraph😊 I just wanted to educate you that's it, you may try to understand it or just ignore.

At Schwartz’s you should have ordered a Black Cherry instead of a Diet Coke with your smoked meat poutine. That’s the Montreal tradition!

Hi, I'm a first time viewer (I think) and this video was great. You did a masterful job taking us along with you so thanks for that. Do you speak and/or read French?

[@jacquelinebourque8041]

You don't have to speak French to visit Montreal. Young ppl adaptated with computer age. They try really hard.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

@@jacquelinebourque8041 LOL, people kill me with their cyber fake hostility. I simply asked a question on whether or not they spoke French. I did not say that she had to speak French. I guess if someone asked you if you knew what time it was you would reply "I don't have to know what time it is!!!!" :) Relax. Have a cup of herbal tea of something.

Montreal looks delicious!

In Montreal we refer to it as old Montreal or the old port

04:38 why the accordeon music ? This is Montréal, not Paris 🙄

[@act_sion]

It is like using bagpipe for the New-york or Toronto bevause they speak english.

[@ernestconnell8087]

I’d go there for the weather changes 😆

Awesome city! Which place you recommend to stay? I only heard some local area.

For the best Pizza and Submarines ever, try Martini Pizza up north in Ahuntsic. My favorite deli ever.
