Things to Do in Montreal

Whether you like your arts operatic, cinematic, balletic, theatric or symphonic, the Place des Arts has it all. A massive complex, this is the place to mix it with Montreal’s high-culture.

Walk between the Old Town and the Downtown using the Underground City’s network of tunnels. From hi-tech skyscrapers to cobbled streets and colonial architecture, the contrast makes for exhilarating viewing. But where will you choose to end up?

Montreal’s special delicacy is a wonderfully sweet bit of dough! Smaller than the American bagel and baked in a wood-fired oven, this is one for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Crescent Street is waiting for you! Found on the edge of Montreal’s university campus, it offers an abundance of bars and nightclubs that play host to all the hip people in town. Dress up, dress down – stay stylish.

Sometime towards the beginning of July, the major players in the world of jazz descend upon Montreal and shoo-be-doo into the jazz capital of the world. For eight days, venues in streets, clubs and concert halls play more jazz than you can shake a stick at.
