I've lived just south of Montreal my entire life. I've been to many places in the world, and Montreal will always be my favorite. Additional things to do for anyone thinking of visiting would be to attend a Canadiens hockey game (even if you don't like hockey, its a very cool experience) and the Grand Prix weekend in June is ABSOLUTELY incredible. You don't even need to go to the race. The city shuts down streets and sets up concert stages in the middle of intersections. This is where my wife and I went for our first wedding anniversary. Absolutely incredible weekend - I would highly recommend. If you get outside the city slightly, there is also great skiing in the winter, mountain biking in the summer, and if you get the chance, I would visit a maple sugaring operation too. Raised donuts with fresh syrup is to die for.

You did list a good starting point for new visitors to Montreal. I am an architecture junkie, so just walking around different neighborhoods is a feast for the eyes. Housing isxbuilt to scale, and not the urban sprawl or high-tise mania that has affected Toronto & Vancouver, and most American cities. You really get to know your neighbors, and shops, markets, bakeries, small restaurants are woven right into the neighborhoods. The Metro is fabulous - like Paris, where each station is a work of art! The beautiful parks, and Mont Royal, along with the delights of the Riviere du St Laurent and Lachine Rapides. It is everything a city should be, though could use an upgrade in the weather dept. I never tire of this cosmopolitan masterpuece! C'est bon!

Hey Mark, I like your videos, been to Montréal early last year. Funny enough I can tick off 7 of your 10 recommendations. BUT one vital part of visiting Montréal is missing: Centre Bell and The Canadiens de Montréal. A game is a cool thing, but also visit the Canadiens Hall of Fame at Centre Bell. Well worth a visit, not just for Habs-fans but for all sports and hockey fans. Do a stadium tour, it is worth to experience this remarkable building. You can also go to the old Forum, which isn't an icerink anymore, but a great building full of history, with shops, cinemas and restaurants. Keep up the great work and take care. Best regards from Germany

Wolter, I’m born and raised in Montreal, retired and I give walking tours to my friends here. And I was very impressed with your presentation. Not easy to do a top-ten of this unique city but you nailed it. Other things to do and see should include: discovering the Plateau and it’s wonderful spiraled staircases and walking/cycling along Lachine canal. Speaking of cycling, there are probably more bike paths here than in any other NA city. In terms of parks, make sure you discover parc Lafontaine. Finally for those who like religious heritage, there are so many beautiful churches to see after those mentionned such as St-Patrick’s Basilica, Saint-Jean Baptiste church, Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs, and Saint-Georges Anglican church. And one last recommendation: visit some of the squares such as Dominion square, Saint-Louis square and Saint-Denis street, Riopelle square and Victoria square. I’ll stop her but I could go on and on😉.

Agreed. The Bixi bikes you can rent if you're not local and is much easier to get around in some places than a vehicle, and also fun if you're with friends or family. They have many docking stations around the city so you don't need to return the bike to the same docking station you took of from. The park is a good place to ride to.

Nice video. Thanks for promoting my great city. A couple of tips: the Biodome is part of the Olympic park (the Biodome is in fact the former Velodrome if I'm not mistaken) so you could combine those two. Also you could combine eating different foods with experiencing multiculturalism. So that makes 8 things. I would add: 9. Walking east along Saint-Catherine street from Atwater through the commercial shopping area, then the Place des festivals, then the red light district to end up in the gay village (east of Berri) in summer (about 4 to 5 km.) (9b. Also when visiting the Place des festivals, why not drop into the big MAC (Musée d'arts contemporains)? 10. Rent a bike and cycle along the Lachine canal. Extras: Take the metro! Wander through the underground city! Walk up boulevard Saint-Laurent and have a smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz's! etc etc

Me and my sweetie stayed at a motel near a large Jewish neighborhood on Parc about a mile or two South of Mont. Royal at St. Viateur. We thought we were in Israel there were so many Jews wearing their yarmulkes and black hats and clothing. I am half Jewish and talked to a few of them. Very pleasant people. One fellow was kinds enough to take a cellphone video of me and my girlfriend smiling and pointing at different parts of the neighborhood. His wife was smiling and laughing when he did this. I know how to get around the city almost as well as my home town of Toronto. The transit is less than half of what it costs in Toronto now. Only 26 dollars a week and Toronto is not 66 dollars a week for the GTA. The only difference is Montreal does not have street cars. But their transit system is just as good as ours. I will be going back there once the virus meshugas works itself out. We were going back to Montreal for sixteen days in the middle of May but that is not happening. So hopefully by the Fall months. Fingers crossed.

If I can recommend two more great things you can visit if you want to get outside of downtown. Visit Le plateau and Park Lafontaine(grab bagels at St-Viateur or Fairmount Bagels), Mile-end, Jean-Talon market and Park Jarry. It's very accessible from downtown and you can probably do most of it in one day. Another thing you can do is go from the old port or Atwater market and rent a bike to spend a day on the lakeshore, you'll be able to go from downtown all the way to Saint-Anne de Bellevue which is the west end of the island. You will see wonderful small neighbourhoods and the Lachine rapids where the explorers couldn't go further when they first discovered Montreal, the entire St-Laurent Shore is a park with a safe cycling path. It can also be done in one day and you might find cheaper food because those towns don't have tourist scams as much.

I've been to Montreal many times. Stayed at a motel at Parc and Mont Royal. And also stayed on St. Denis. And also in the West Island in Dollard des Ormeaux. Great transit system and beautiful markets and stores and malls. Most people are extremely friendly and helpful. I was amazed at how people would offer you their seat on the buses or subways. I am a man and females would offer their seats. Just wonderful people. But the influx of immigrants is starting to clog up the city and transit and that is going to be an issue if it continues. I love going everywhere on the transit system and the cost is the cheapest for a weekly pass I have ever paid in any large city. 26 dollars for a week. That is amazingly low. It has many great attractions and shopping is great if you are into that sort of thing. I have been to all four corners of the island and will go there again once the virus works itself out and things get back to normal. I love that city.

It takes forever climb all the stair up to the church it's supposed to be a public building and if you want to inside you must pay 15.00$ each. As well you must pay in the Notre Dame church. Tabarnak. Il vaut mieux aller au lac des castors ou au quartier portugais

You need to show more of the sights in the city while you are talking about each area and each attraction. I would have preferred to see videos of these attractions instead of just looking at you speaking 90% of the time.

Great guide except not very helpful the tip saying to come when there is a festival. I mean, what if you are here watching this when there is not a festival. Made me feel kind of stupid, frankly.. Still, this is the best video guide to top Montreal attractions I have ever seen.

Not sure why you would have to "warn" your kids about the smell of pot. It's marijuana. Period. Not sure where the discomfort fits in or why one should "be prepared." Maybe that's more of an American perspective? By July 2018 it will be fully legal across the country.

For the Americans who believe that Quebec is still a "priest-ridden-province", actually it is the least religious province of Canada. As pointed out in the video: you now have to pay to enter the Notre-Dame basilica. Many beautiful churches in Quebec, in my dad's village to name one, lack money for maintenance--- churches are empty on Sunday and many have been sold to other denominations.

Yes, isn't this a paradox??? This is why I opposed Trudeau's Charter so much. At the moment when we were abandoning religion completely, we decided to protect the religion of the immigrants..... Montreal will become Beyrouth-by-the-St-Lawrence and we may end up with civil war.

@jceepf

Well I was not thinking of them.... I consider Islam a foreign disease imported by our politicians thanks to Trudeau-the-Father's 1982 Charter and 1972 Multiculturalism Act. But you are correct, if you include Islam, Montreal is certainly religious even though its 500 churches are now empty. Mark Twain said that in Montreal, if you throw a brick randomly, you will break a stain glass. Still true, but you are unlikely to hurt anyone in the abandoned building.!

R. H. Hewitt There aren't that many Muslims in Montreal honestly. I think Arabs make about 6% of the population of Montreal and about half of them are Christian. I've been living here all my life and I've never had a problem with one of them. They mostly live in Ville St-Laurent and don't really get out of that part of town much.

You say even the bums on the street speak more than one language. No offense but language is really just a human experience. It has nothing to do with high intellectual levels or special privileges. Perhaps those bums were exposed to more than one language when they were growing up and so therefore that's why they speak more than one language. We have this stigma of believing that people that speak more than one language might be the rich and famous or the wealthy or people with great IQs. That is not a fact. Either way I really appreciate your videos and the great information you provide. My sister and her husband happen to be in Montreal right now. This is your first time visiting.

I think he made this remark due to the fact that in most non English speaking countries, people who can speak English are usually highly educated and most homeless people aren’t. However, despite being in Québec, a French speaking society, Montréal has a large minority who has English as a first language, and many of the homeless many even only speak English.

Indeed. They are homeless people, not “bums”. It’s classist and elitist to assume poor or underprivileged people can’t speak more than one language. You don’t know someone’s background just because they are homeless.
