Excellent video! I was there few years ago on business did less than 10% of what presented. Got motivated with your video and bought tickets to go! Do you think September is a good month to go? What area do you recommend to stay? Do you recommend to rent a car?
Local Montrealer here,giving a huge authentic certification for this vid. Biggest tourist tip, do not book a hotel in old port/old Montreal. Montreal is about the local neighborhoods not the downtown core or old city. If you book in old Montreal in can be a bit of pain in the butt to get to other parts of the city
Born, raised and still living in Montreal: and loving it. Great job on your vlog! You hit all the right spots maybe add Bota Bota spa (on a boat in the Old Port) and Westmount Greene av. area, Outremont Bernard St. (and the charming park with a small lake and pavilion behind the theater where people dance tango on Sunday nights), Castelnau St. close to Little Italy). Mount St-Bruno is a nice hike too, close to Mount St-Hilaire: try out the new foodie area with a brewery inside Promenades St-Bruno, very nice! Verdun's beach is cool, as is the outdoor dance floor with salsa nights and other music. Enjoy, it's a great city!
I grew up in Montreal, and your video is spot on, I left 16 years ago and move to the US, not that many cities come close to what Montreal has to offer, the only draw back is winter lasts 6 months!
Great video, Will! I love Montreal, and even being there several times, I learned a lot on your video. I will have to replay it to catch the restaurant listings, but you broke it down in 15 minutes to cover all the things important to most. I love great parks, the BIXI bike system is super, and I love discovering all the various neighborhoods that visitors never see. Yes, Vieux Montreal and Vieux Port are great, but I love Mile End, Verdun, NDG, Plateau de Mont Royal, and the Metro is my favorite in North America, I am an architecture junkie, so Montreal is the "high church" of that. The cuisine is miraculous- from a simple croissant or pastry to poutine to great coffee and wine to exquisite fine cuisine to smoked meats at Schwartz deli, but I love the out of the way, simple spots in the neighborhoods for an ethnic delight. A Polish place is right next to Jamaican jerk chicken or an Arab place. C'est magnifique! I did not know about that Clock Tower Beach, and it looks nice. The Jazz Festival is unreal, as is the Comedy Festival, and all the Light Projections at night. Montreal is everything a city should be, but could use some better weather. On your trips outside the city, the 3 hour trip to QC is worth it, along with a cruise from there to Montmorency Falls and the Saguenay Fjord. I really enjoyed a trip to the Winter Carnival and le Hotel de Glace and it's ice bar - very unique! Great job, and you and your girlfriend make a great couple. Best wishes, and Merci!
This is one of the best Montreal reviews I've seen on TH-cam, and what makes yours stand out is that you didn't fall into the usual trap of featuring what everyone features. For example, La Banquise: good on you for not falling into that trap, and for selecting the Orange Julep. Also, you featured my favourite restaurant: l'Express. Well done, sir.
Great video, thanks. 2 things totally forgotton to do in Montreal, we are doing both of these things when we go to Montreal next week. Jetboating up the Lachine Rapids with Saute Mouton Jetboat Tours, then going to La Ronde for a day of Rollercoasters! Staying at the Bonadventure hotel with the rooftop outdoor Pool.
I am in Montreal right now. Tomorrow morning I’m trying to navigate around the city and it’s extremely difficult. Any advice? I am horrible with French. And the roads seem very difficult to understand. Is there any places I can park for free?
I agree that the Banquise is over hyped… it is alright Poutine, but always packed. In the Parks, I would also add Park Jarry (you can even watch free tennis early in the week during the Omnium Banque National), and Maisonneuve (it also has the bonus of being next to the Olympic park). In the things to do outside of the city, much closer, I would suggest Going to Chambly / Fort Chambly (even more so for any one that like History) - Since you need food, in Chambly I could recommend the Tre Colori Restaurant, or right by the Fort, Fourquet Fourchette; if you have your bike, it’s also a very nice ride by the river and the locks. Lastly, for hikes, if you don’t want to go as far as st-hilaire, there’s also Mont-Saint-Bruno Park.
Hi Will, you forgot to include the MANY other music festivals happening outdoor, Jazzfest, Nuits d'Afrique festival, and oh most importantly, the Sunday tam-tams at Mont-Royal, bring a picnic. Summer time in Montreal is outdoor, we celebrate summer :)
I'm just seeing this now, preparing for an upcoming five day trip to Montreal in May. Great information, thanks a lot. I live in Ottawa and have been to Montreal a few times, but have missed so many great things to see and do. I'm going to check out your other vids as well. Cheers!
Thanks for the great video! I've got a cruise scheduled that will end in Montreal in May 2022. I thought about changing the cruise because I wasn't sure there would be enough things to do in Montreal; however, after watching your video I'm definitely going to keep the cruise I have booked. I'm super excited about visiting.
I watched you on the DownieLive train journey. Now I've decided to watch your videos, but I actually just searched Montréal and this video was the 1st one suggested.
My only suggestion would be to visit the entire island of montreal, not just the city, i have lived here my whole life and the west island has a lot to offer as well
Awesome video! Appreciated format, presentation, and personal preferences. It was nice to have second opinion the misses there .. you had many points of interest to explore in one video. Montreal looks like lotsa fun.Thanks.
Thanks for the great list. After 10 years of living in Montreal, I still haven't visited some of the places you mentioned. However, I'm still hurt by your comment about La Banquise, my favourite Poutine place.
NB: You referred to my neighborhood as mile end (laurier est, mechant pinsons etc) but it’s called Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and that specific area is called Le Petit Laurier.
Nice video. Just a little comment: - The Old Port of Montreal is just the part between Rue de la Commune and the water, and it belongs to the federal government. It’s where the port of Montreal used to be until it was moved further north. - Old Montreal is the name of the historic neighbourhood from the water until Rue St-Antoine. The Old Port is inside Old Montreal, but not the other way around. 🤓🤓
Fabulous video Will. Thank you so much for saving me a lot of time, I really appreciate it. My friend and I are going in a week and this is very helpful.
I spent a year and a half in Montreal and I found the weather fine from April to Late November. So more like 8 and 4 not 4 and 8 but with that said Christmas is amazing in Montreal.
Hey Will, you captured the city well! Makes me miss Montréal. I didn't appreciate what an awesome city I used to live in. Montréal: une belle ville au goût impéccable! Now I live in the Okanagan Valley in BC now, which is also nice, and no more 8 month winters with a short, hot humid summers. But I still miss Montréal. Made me homesick watching this video.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I recognize Old Port, the rest? Maybe I'm spoiled because my ex, a Montreal boy, and a friend, a Montreal boy too, showed me the parts no one normally sees. I went on my own last summer, got treated well. Piri Piri in Quartier Latin was awesome. In fact the whole street was. Yes! Atwater, tamtams, JFL festival and that one brasserie. Ahh, memories flooding back. I will visit again!!!
I'm from montrreal I've been following you and just flew to Vancouver and did alot of what you shown on your vids ty we drove back to calgary luv your vids keep it up merci 💗
Visiting Toronto, Montreal and Quebec in the next few weeks - great quality video this was. Keep up the good work - obviously you know a lot about Montreal, if your other videos are of the same quality, I reckon you will get many subs in years to come.
Arguably the best video on Montreal. You've really done an awesome job at showcasing this great city which I am hoping to visit someday soon. Maybe you could do a video on places to stay and coolest places to live. Thanks in advance and keep it up.👍🇬🇾
Buddy, that was a really good vlog! I am going to visit Montreal late September / early October and look forward to visiting several of the place that you have recommended. Thank you!
Traveled to Quebec City numerous times on business. Always enjoyed my stay. I also caught a return flight to the states through Montreal. There are those of us that would visit during the winter because we know we can go home where it is warm (even in the Winter).

New subscriber a Montrealer over 56 years ..thanks to your great introduction to our city of Montréal
Will finishes up a long food section, then moves into outdoor activities, and the first recommendation is buy more food! 😂😂
All we do is eat here hahahah, it's a problem 😅

Best video ever, I’ve been looking to videos for Montreal, and this is the most complete. Thanks for recording it and for all your advices!
Festival de Jazz is the biggest Jazz and Blues festival in the world. And Just for Laugh festival too, great comedians from all over the world.
I am from Montreal, but have been back for almost 8 years. I can't wait to check out some of these places!!
Unreal. Montreal is a GREAT city and you captured it PERFECTLY, bro!

I moved to Ontario. Watched you video, now I am homesick!
Montreal Rocks! Thanks for the guide to MTL! 💡
Been living in Montreal for 15 years. Absolutely love the atmosphere here.

Well said. I thought about adding Jarry Park but I haven't been enough to fully recommend it. All good suggestions in my opinion, Sacha!
Great video! Would've appreciated some subtitles for the names of the places mentioned since some of us don't speak French.
TH-cam has subtitles . Press the CC icon

dude how do you think street names are translated plus if he did then you wont know the street name, simple
@@tonyhuang431 Google translate
as somebody who speaks french, you don't translate nouns
Amazing representation of the city. I’m moving back to MTL after years of being away and you got me excited
Been living in mtl for as long as you did and yess poutine from Orange Julep is amazingg

And visit Quebec City too!
Where are you from that you think that about Montreal? Ridic!
Schwartz's Deli is a MUST for anyone traveling to Montreal.
Good suggestions. Don't forget the beautiful botanical garden!
You should do a Quebec City travel vid
Finally someone mentioned Décarie Hot dog for poutine! It's my favorite!
Born & raised in Mtl - you did extremely well with this video! Very well!
probably best travel guide on Montreal I have seen so far ! merci beaucoup
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.New subscriber from IRAN❤😉🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Montreal is well represented by this guy!…thank you Wil!…awesome vlog….😊😊😊

Thanks for the suggestions! Going there for the first time so really appreciated! ❤👏🏻🎉
It's always surprising to see that some people consider the city I grew up in as a trip destination. It doesn't sink in easy
It’s like that with everywhere when you grew up in a place but for Canada travel I always recommend Montreal even before Toronto
your prononciation of french words is so good!!
The Montreal Tourism board should be paying you! They spend a lot promoting the city.. and your video is excellent.
Awesome video 😍 thank you for all the tips I really enjoyed it 👌🏽
Good job Will ! Even if i've been living around for 53 years now, you make me discover plenty of nice places.
Thanks. I took some notes. I look forward to visiting in 2 weeks!
My only suggestion would be to visit the entire island of montreal, not just the city, i have lived here my whole life and the west island has a lot to offer as well

Visiting Montreal in July..going to use your excellent vlog as an anchor in my trip planning
Here now from Texas and using this guide.
Thank you so much. I am planning to visit this summer. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the great list. After 10 years of living in Montreal, I still haven't visited some of the places you mentioned. However, I'm still hurt by your comment about La Banquise, my favourite Poutine place.
Thanks man! It's a great video with great informations!!👍👍
We’ll done! Representing the city in a marvellous way.
Man I miss MTL, was a special city! Me thinks Phnom Penh needs a definitive guide like this!
Always lived here but so much more to discover and places to go. Btw cycling along Canal Lachine is awesome
my hometown!!! 🥺❣️❣️❣️❣️
truly a beautiful city w amazing energy. your video did incredible @ capturing the beauty that is montreal!
great vid!!! 🤩
Thanks Misha! I didn't know you were from Montreal! Glad I could impress a local with this vid 🤙🏻🥰
Hello, I was in the comment section when I came across yours and I was thrilled to say Hello to you
NB: You referred to my neighborhood as mile end (laurier est, mechant pinsons etc) but it’s called Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and that specific area is called Le Petit Laurier.
Great video!!! You should do a video of Toronto! Lots. of great places as well
First time here.. Love ur channel .. ❤️ and did subscribe.. Blessings from Orlando Fla. USA

Thanks Jess!
would've been nice to have names listed on the screen or description box
This was a great video! I’m going to Montreal this Christmas and this was really helpful!
Honestly the best Montreal tour video.
Is there a better city in the world? Loved the video!
Thank you!!
You should mention The Green Spot in Lionel-Groulx Its a 70's diner resto, that really is a hidden gem~!
Nice video. Just a little comment:
- The Old Port of Montreal is just the part between Rue de la Commune and the water, and it belongs to the federal government. It’s where the port of Montreal used to be until it was moved further north.
- Old Montreal is the name of the historic neighbourhood from the water until Rue St-Antoine. The Old Port is inside Old Montreal, but not the other way around. 🤓🤓
