Born and raised Montrealer here, your video was very thorough and well made! Plus you have a very soothing voice :)

[@travels_wright]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽. From your point of view, What would you consider to be a hidden gem in the city ??

[@Skatrine]

Well, it's not hidden, but the bike paths along both rivers are really beautiful and pleasant to bike on, and they're quite extensive. If you want to rent a BIXI, might as well pay the monthly subscription of $20. It gives you unlimited and free access to bikes for as long as you want. You just have to dock it every 45 minutes to start a new free ride. It's great! Just remember to cancel the subsequent month. You can also take an electric bike if you want to take it easy, but there are no free rides on those.

[@travels_wright]

I feel that’s a great recommendation as well! I’m sure there’s a lot to see along these paths 👍🏾. I was aware of the bixi system but I actually didn’t know there was a monthly subscription. That is a very useful tip

[@hassafella]

Totally agree!

[@travels_wright]

Thank you🙏🏽

[@grd4629]

This is one of the best intro guides to Montréal I've come across! And I've watched a lot. I'm looking forward to taking my 5th trip this fall to check out the autumn colours and a slightly quieter city. Thanks for investing the time in making quality content I can use and share 😊

[@travels_wright]

I really appreciate your comment! So many hours goes into prepping this style of content so it truly makes me happy that there are others finding good use out of it. Going to Montreal during the autumn season is a solid plan too. The weather stays nice till even early October in some cases and the scenery is just impressive to see with the changing foliage. Autumn is perhaps one of my most favored seasons. I hope you have a great trip 🙌🏾

You missed the Vans Skatepark and the iconic BIG O while you were at the stadium , BTW Good video

[@travels_wright]

Thank you ! I had wanted to go to the look out just above the Big O. Sadly it was closed. They were supposed to reopen this year, however the govt announced they will be replacing the roof. So not sure if it will be open to the public this year in the end.. The Vans skate park seems like it’s top notch. There was also outdoor rock climbing activites there as well..😅. So much to do in the city !

[@GHOSTVAPOR]

Oh i didn't think that i could been closed for some reason , and now the Roof not sure it will be open until renovation is done , i hope it will , cross my fingers @@travels_wright

[@travels_wright]

[@gabrielapaulinho1luv]

Hi. Do we need a car to reach Le Village au Pied-du-Courant? My Québec friend has a car and wants to take me to somewhere I haven't yet been. Other than that, I'll be visiting and revisiting places in Montrèal by métro on my own. I'll be traveling to Montréal in April. Merci!😀

I’ve long had a fascination for Montreal. Some years ago I had a stopover in Toronto and stayed there for 4 days but I would have preferred if it had been in Montreal. Btw. The clock tower is nothing like the “Big Ben” (which is actually a bell) Tower😁

[@travels_wright]

Definitely make the visit! You won't ne disappointed. I agree that Big ben tower is a little more impressive to see :p

Hello ! Happy you found it useful ! Will you be travelling to Montreal in the near feature?

[@jeffreymcdaniel6813]

I am an every summer visitor. I love Montreal. I drive from Detroit in my convertible so that I can cruise around on those sultry nights while listening to smooth jazz. By the way, by my second visit, i had been to most sites featured in this vid. Thank you for your channel!!

[@travels_wright]

I can’t say that I blame you! Montréal is known for its amazing ambiance, especially during the warmer months. Must be an interesting way to see the city from a convertible (what kind ?). Thank you for watching the video. Hopefully it was useful for some new ideas too. 👍🏾

[@jeffreymcdaniel6813]

@travels_wright your vid is great for new ideas, such as the late night dinner cruise. I have a well preserved black on black 2010 Sebring Convertible. Generally, I only cruise around in it during the wee hours because the Montreal metro is wonderfully efficient. I can't wait to ride the R.E.M.!!!

[@gabrielapaulinho1luv]

So happy that KZbin recommended your GR8 channel!👍🏼 New subbie here😀 YT suggested you while I was researching certain aspects of Montréal, where I haven't traveled since 2019. I used to visit there 2x a year, but I need a refresh because I'm headed back to that beautiful city really soon. Thanks for recommending Old Montréal, when some travel hosts poo-poo the area as being touristy. Well, I don't mind the touristy elements because I focus on the history and architecture. And I loooove the restos, bakeries and historic houses that are museums much worth visiting. The Old Port is wonderful, including the lookout and la Grande Roue. That Ferris wheel was constructed for Montréal's 175th birthday in 2017 -- and I missed several chances to ride it before the pandemic, so I'll remedy that this spring.❤🎡❤ Other neigborhoods that I must visit again are le Plateau, la Petite Italie? la Petite Patrie, NDG, Hochelaga et Griffintown. I hope I have time to revisit Atwater market and to see the beautiful animals and marine life i side of the Biodôme. Merci!✌🏼

[@travels_wright]

I can definitely feel your passion for the city. You’re definitely right about Old Montreal. It’s such a vibrant sector that has so much character and a large selection of restaurants and activities. I bid you a fantastic visit to Montreal. Thank you for subscribing as well as it really helps the channel 👍🏾

Have you ever considered doing a vid on the fantastic foods of Montreal's various Black communities? I heard that the Haitian food scene is amazing!

[@travels_wright]

I like the idea! Especially with black history month just around the corner. You may have seen It already, but I included Boom J’s Cuisine (Jamaican Cuisine) in my top 10 food places in Montreal video. Doing a whole set of good black owned restaurants would be a great idea too. 👌🏾

Nice ! When did you stay and what impressed you the most about the hotel ?

[@ania5038]

@@travels_wright I went with my boyfriend in the winter of 2014 I believe and I loved the atmosphere and how secluded it was (walking to our room felt like a spa). It also had the biggest bed I've ever seen that was extremely comfortable, old brick walls, a fireplace, jet tub and was situated downtown by the St. Lawrence River. I paid extra to have breakfast and mimosas in bed and I'm planning for us to go back this year in the fall :)

[@travels_wright]

Wow, sounds like they had great amenities when you stayed at the hotel. The location is super ideal as well. Very central to the touristic area. Autumn is an Amazing time to visit because of the changing foliage. No doubt you’ll have another great time. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check it out 👍🏾

@@travels_wright Yes, that's when I'm planning to book us! They also have a rooftop terrace where you can watch the fireworks although we didn't do that last time but we'll probably have dinner there this time. It's quite expensive but I recommend the King rooms for a special occasion.

Very well-put and highly detailed! Especially appreciate as I’m planning my trip to Montreal this year Christmas. Any must-visit places not to miss during that time? Thanks there 😊

[@travels_wright]

Thank you! Very much appreciated . For the Christmas season, I believe (La Grande Roue) is still open so this could be a nice activity to take part in. I would also visit the Biodôme as it’s indoor. Place ville Marie is normally nicely decorated with lights during this time of year and also has a connection to the underground mall in case you want to do some shopping. I also uploaded a video on my channel on some interesting restaurants to visit as well.

Hello! Thanks for watching the video ! Can I ask which outings you were looking to visit? We are now in March so the city is coming out of the colder months.

Can we still visit these places in fall or winter?
