Montreal Mixes France, America And Canada In One Cosmopolitan City

Sitting on the edge of the Canadian and USA border, and the biggest city in the French Canadian province of Quebec, Montreal combines old French traditions with cutting edge modern day Canada, along with a strong dose of American culture. Here you can explore French architecture in Old Montreal, contemporary Canadian culture all across the city’s 19 boroughs, and pop to New York for the day. Brightsun Travel has cheap flights to Montreal, including direct and premium flights with Air Canada, celebrating their 80th birthday in 2017.

Contemporary Canada

In 2006 Montreal was named a UNESCO City of Design owing to its strong design community. All across the city you will find converted industrial buildings showcasing fine contemporary art, like the Museum of Fine Art, plus cool industrial corners, like Mile End and Little Burgundy. And in the summer, the city comes alive with a range of festivals, including the largest jazz festival in the world.

French Canada

Being the largest French-speaking city in North America and the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world after Paris, French influences can be found across Montreal, in its restaurants, buildings and arts scene. Head to Rue St-Denis for the heart of Montreal’s Francophone shopping scene, and for contemporary clubs innovating with French fusion cuisine, you won’t find anything better than Montreal’s chic suburb of De Lorimier.

American Canada

Montreal is just a short drive or train ride away from New York, making it the perfect sport for a memorable multi-centre tour of North America’s urban highlights. The rail journey from New York’s Penn station to Montreal’s Gare Centrale is argued to be one of the most scenic in the world, passing through the Hudson Valley and New York state, taking a pleasurable 11 hours.

When to go

Montreal has a 4 season climate where winters are snowy, summers are hot and autumn and spring are mild. Even though winters are severe, spend December in Montreal and you are almost guaranteed a white Christmas, plus hundreds of spots to enjoy skiing and skating, like the hilltop Parc du Mont-Royal Parc La Fontaine, a favourite ice-skating spot. Summer is by far the best time to visit Montreal though, when the city emerges from its winter hibernation and its summer festivals begin.
