Montreal is a slice of Europe in North America — French, food, and a festival city that loves winter.
Montreal is bilingual, food-obsessed, and more European than any other North American city — Old Montreal, bagels, and poutine. Visit in summer for festivals or winter for the snow and the Underground City.
