God, I miss home. Montreal is a city that no matter where you live, if you're from there, you'll never be able to really call anywhere else home because it is a city so dynamic that there are no others like it in North America. It's hard to describe but Montreal has a feel to it that is different from pretty much everywhere else. You can close your eyes and listen to the sounds and smells of the city and it is almost completely unique. I say almost because there is one other place where I closed my eyes and got the same feel as Montreal. It's a place that I wanted to try this all my life because I knew that it would be at least similar but it was virtually identical. That city, amazingly, was Paris. Montreal is the Paris of North America and that is an amazing thing.
I love Montreal, i have been there twice. I love the fresh air and walk around Saint catherine, Parks. I love Canadian because of hospitality and friendly.I am going to settle down in Montreal next year, I hope everything is going well.
Arriving in Montréal in less than a month, can't wait!!! First time in Canada, MTR will be my very first stop, thanks for the wonderful video guys, very helpful!! Greetings from Bulgaria
Thanks for your videos! I'm going to Montreal and Quebec City this June! Then I'm off to London and many parts of France. I'm using your videos as a guide. Keep up the fantastic work!
Montreal is my favorite City, it's ok to try your best attempts speaking french (if you are anglophone) Montrealais love it! It's a show of respect from one culture to the other. It's like someone in the comments said here, that hate went out years ago mes ami's.:)
Yes, I have been to Montreal. Lovely city and kind people. Lot of historical places to visit. Amazing Mount Royal. Winter adds further beauty to the city. Summer is glowing with greenery and flowers all around. I love Montreal.
my wife and I are headed to Montreal next week. will be there a day and a half and then a day and a half in Quebec city. great helpful video and have subscribed to your channels, love your videos. keep it up!
It is indeed a wonderfwul city! The architecture is amazing, and lots of great recreational opportunities from Mont Royal to the beautiful parks to the Lachine Rapides. The French/European ambience is special. La Basilique Notre Dame, where Celine Dion got married, is magical - you feel like the blue hues inside have transported you to heaven. I believe Celine even recorded an album there, too. Having a meal, drink or high tea at La Reine Elizabeth Hotel is worth it. Those Montreal bagels are special. I love my standby lox avec cc, but the one with apples that Sam was eating looked great as well. Hard to eat a bagel at Tim's after those. Which place did you actually visit, as I did not catch it? The smoked meats at Schwartz' deli on St Laurent are legendary! I love Rue Crescent for cafes and entertainment. I recall an Edith Piaf-like chanteuse singing her songs, and I could swear I was on the Rive Gauche (Left Bank) in Paris. I loved the old Forum on Sainte Catherine St, as Les Canadiens are my 2nd favorite team after my Boston Bruins. We have had many legendary playoff series thru the years. I was happy they got to the SC Finals this year, even if Bruins did not join them. Chicago Stadium does have an imposing arena for the Black Hawks, Sam, and I like their jerseys. I attended the 1976 Summer Olympics in MTL, but was too young for Expo '67 (did go to Expo '86 in Vancouver 3 times), but took the Metro to "Man and His World" since - as my speech teacher & her husband had gone and showed their home movies way back. I do hope Les Expos return to MTL. I was not wild about the Big O, so hope they build a neighborhood park like Fenway, closer to town, and not out in Montreal Est. I saw the bicycling at the Vel1odrome in 1976, so am very impressed with the Biodome it was reconfigured into. The eating is magnificent - even a simple croissant at the Airport bus station was better than any you would get in America! I have enjoyed all my visits to Montreal, and except for the long, cold winters, might have considered it as a place to live. Je parle un peu francais, so it would have been a natural. I also love QC, and all that city offers. Thanks for sharing this neat city!
Visited Montreal many times from the age of 8 through my teens with my parents, grandparents and aunt and uncle. We always went as a family and had great times. I'm in New York just 8 hours away. Bye thank you for the tour. Oh and I didn't know that Montreal had a China town it's beautiful.🙋
That is great to hear Daisy! Hope you can revisit again soon. The Amtrack route from NYC to MOntreal is stunning. We're actually thinking of visiting both Montreal and NYC this spring :)
Very well done! Planning to visit this summer and you're video was just what I needed for a brief pre-travel introduction to the city. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
i visited montreal last summer and it was great! i spent a lot of time in mile end- tons of cute clothing/record shops. this video is making me want to go again sometime
J'adore Montréal ! It is my favourite city in Canada and all of North America, actually. I like the bilingual French & English spoken in the city, the local French culture and vibe...the people...and the festivals...and the Vieux-Montréal. And the ease of the metro system.
I had 5 days in Montreal by myself in August 2015 and fell in love with the place. I especially love Old Montreal and the architecture around Plateau Mont Royal. The view from Mont Royal is great too. Just the general atmosphere of the city is lovely and the food is fantastic. I stayed at a B&B near McGill University which was very convenient. I would like to go back with my partner next time. I know i'lll be back for sure. I did love the poutine too, mine had bits of bacon in it!
+Jrider72 That's awesome to hear about your experiences! We both love visiting and every single time we go we find a new area of the city that charms us.
excellent video, I visited Montreal from Houston TX. in June, July and August, seven times. Beautiful city. I did not see even one accident, crime, fight, all I saw was something festival going on. Quebec independence day, Jazz festival, Fashion shows, Olympic anniversary, Laughing festival etc. there was no one week without anything fun going on and all that was around St Catherine St. Thanks for this great video.
Hi sir. I'm curious to know if you came here in Montreal by car? It must to be a real long ride. Last year I was driving to go at the Maxi (a grocery store) and I saw a car with a plate from Texas. I was so amazed by it that when I came back home, I ordered 2 blank car plates from Texas on Amazon. I still have them. I'm very fascinated by this State and I really can't wait to go there for a visit.
Quebec indepence day ???First quebec is still not an independent country! Second not all the independent countries has an independence day but all have national day . France - Bastille day , Japan - nationalfoundation day( not related to independence)
Vermont guy right here, MTL is less than 2hrs from me. Have been up a few times but not so much for daytime journeys. I really want to see the city more, and this vid will def help me on my next trip!
The first time i visited Montreal, the thing that impressed me the most was how people accept each others. Many people still think that the province of Quebec is filled with french separatist that are racist, closed mind etc. But that years decades ago! Now it's really a small minority of the population that are still like that.
Yes, I've been to the beautiful city of Montreal back in August 1978. I'm originally from Buenos Aires and reside in San Francisco, California since 1984.
I have never visited canada but i'll emigrate there in order to continue my study so i hope that i can adapt with all the conditions i may face and your video make me excited to go montreal so thanks for all the information about this beautiful city
I'll be heading to Canada late December this year. Just wondering, are the parks/botanical gardens worth going during winter? Which ones should I cross out the list for that time of the year?
Ah, that is great to hear. Well, they will likely be frozen and covered in snow. It might have a magical look although it will be a very different experience from seeing it during the warmer months of the summer.
I've been looking at the Plateu Mont-Royal area to stay about 4 nights and I like the area you showed in your video. Was that Bed and Breakfast of airb&b.. how can I find something similar? Which main street should I be looking at to be close to. Thanks!!
In my youth I went to Montreal any excuse to go there would do. Haven't been to Montreal in 30 years......going back next Tuesday! Thanks for the refresher on the sites and scenes.
I used to visit alot and in 2003 I got a job working night security at McGill for 6 months... Sadly its been 14 years since I last had a visit .. On the pluse side I'm on my way back tomorrow and I'm really excited!!
I have been enjoying Montreal for full two years, ... the city took my heart in a second...I have met amazing people there, made new friends and enjoyed so many things and of course the great hospitality of locals. Montreal is a part of my heart and became a bit a kind of a second homeplace. If you are new in Montreal and especially if you come from Europe like me, enjoy all that kind of a bit different but beautiful European style of the city, visit the streets by walk so you can enjoy the small stores, amazing boutiques, and most of all the local food. It is quite yummy !!! A nice thing to visit is the Chinatown, St Denise, Places DesArts, the museum, biodome, the unique Sportcafés and great pizzas in the city, but also like nowhere else food from all over the world. I have never seen a city before with soo many different bright colors of all around the globe cuisine at the same place. The old city is definitely my favorite place to spend my time... In summer is the great time to enjoy the BEST jazz festival in the world. During the year you have all time music concerts, Shows and theater in the city... there is ALWAYS something happening, like the city never sleeps. If you are lucky, visit the cirque de Soleil it will take your breath away with its unique shows. And do not forget to try the ONLY original Maple syrup and poutine - yummy! ;)
Kevin Redmond Oh man, you're missing out on the golden age of the Blackhawks ;) Denis Savard is an icon in both cities. Good on you though for sticking with your team even though you live out of market. I can related being a Blackhawks fan having grown up near Vancouver.
Thanks guys, great video! I wish though that you had showed off the amazing Metro subway system too and some of the beautiful stations. I love Montreal. I was born there in 1968 and left in 1998. Who knows, I may return there someday to live. I miss it.
I was born here in montreal, lived here all my life... Couldn't ever move, even with all the political issues, high taxes and problems this city will always be my home. You guys did excellent with the attractions, try to visit during the winter it's completely different!! So much to see and do. Don't forget to mention, Amazing night life... I would say best in Canada. :)
Heading to Montreal in 2 weeks. Although the audio was off (toward the end it was not synched) the review was quick and to the point. I was born and raised in the area of Montreal (Verdun and Chateauguay) but moved away when I turned 20. The things I miss the most are : the food, the tree lined streets, the spiral staircases, Mount Royal Park, the windy streets (the narrow streets), the cafes, and the food. Did I mention the food? Definitely the food.
+nerdybird4 Banquise is good but overrated... I would never say no to a banquise but some others restaurants have better one. In my opinion the brouhaha restaurant served the best one.
Dr.Vijaya Bhaskhar Potla I actually had the chance to live in Montreal one summer. I did the Quebec Studies Summer Institute at McGill. I lived in one of the McGill dorms and took classes. I took a French language course and a course on the history of Quebec. :)
Great video! I'm planning a trip and this was a great primer for me. Btw, is that original music playing at 8:55 onward? If so I'd love to write to it. Dope track!
good video! :) but it miss the parc jean-drapeau and la ronde of course, and even its canadian football ligue allouettes are one of the best franchise and its always fun to catch a game in the Perceval Molson stade.. :D
I am going to Montreal in January next year with my wife and baby. I hope the weather would not be freezing, anyway I love the idea of being there for a couple of days. Btw your list of things to do there will help us a lot, thanks :)
Especially the one they serve at ''La Banquise'' on Rachel street between Boyer and Av du Parc Lafontaine , i suggest you eat the ''Elvis'' my favorite : P
The top of Mont-Royal can be reached by taking the 11 Bus at Mont-Royal Station on the Orange subway line, ask the bus driver to let you off at Beaver Lake or (Lac des Castors) or (Lac aux castors)
Open google maps : search for ''Montreal Lac aux castors'' and look for the walking path that leads to the ''Chalet du Mont-Royal '' there's an Amazing view of Downtown there... ..
No . The best way to get to Beaver lake is to take the 165 from Guy metro station. Its about six stops to Hill Park st. Just walk up the st. 10 mins. Boom ur there ! Alot easier than the 11 bus . Wtf
Hi peeps! you Samuel & Audrey are amazing,love your videos! very insightful,love your spirit and humor as well as your dedication! Greetings from Dubai & wish you could come visit here :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos it definitely is, that’s why I like to go during both times. Being from Texas, I don’t get to see winters like that so I welcome it - for at least a week or so lol...
+christian Alvarado I would skip Toronto and spend more time in Montreal and Quebec City. Quebec City is especially easy to get around on foot and Montreal has a great metro to get from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Not bad but a bit touristy and thus downtown-focused. More info about neighbourhoods is appreciated: Outremont, Mile End, NDG, Plateau, McGill Ghetto, Westmount.
Hey there, great video! Im 20 years old, from Denmark. Now, next summer, i am taking my sister to an academy in Meadoawmount. Therefore, I am staying in montreal for 8 weeks, from mid june to mid august, so that I can accompany her back But since i don't know much about Montreal (or Canada for that matter) I wondered if someone more familiar , could tell me more. Most importantly: Where is the center-part of Montreal?! I am going to rent an apartment in Montreal, but it has to be close to everything, transport, shopping, entertainment etc. I've heard that it's Downtown Montreal, but there are many areas within it, so I would love to hear where it's best to live, especially for a young guy like me. Also, is it possible to manage with just english? Because I don't know any french... Thanks in advance -Mickey :)
+Mickey Holm Montreal has a great metro system so anywhere you live within the city is not too far away from the downtown core. The best area for culture, restaurants and living in my opinion is Le Plateau. You could get by with just English but even learning some basic French will make you feel more comfortable during your stay.
Samuel & Audrey I see, I have heard great things about Le Plateau, so I will definitely check that out some more. Thank you so much, it was a great help -love your video's btw :)

Yes it's a good decision
Nop!!!!!! Boring and basically what you saw in the video is all there is to it!!! Unless you owned a car to do a road trip, or do something else!
Thanks for your videos! I'm going to Montreal and Quebec City this June! Then I'm off to London and many parts of France. I'm using your videos as a guide. Keep up the fantastic work!
+Narata Thank you! You have some really exciting travel plans coming up soon. I hope you have a great trip.
Montreal is my favorite City, it's ok to try your best attempts speaking french (if you are anglophone) Montrealais love it! It's a show of respect from one culture to the other. It's like someone in the comments said here, that hate went out years ago mes ami's.:)
Kevin Redmond It's an awesome city! My two favorites in North America are Montreal & Chicago :)
Yes, I have been to Montreal. Lovely city and kind people. Lot of historical places to visit. Amazing Mount Royal. Winter adds further beauty to the city. Summer is glowing with greenery and flowers all around. I love Montreal.
Great to hear about your experiences in the city. I'm lucky enough to have visited in the winter as well
I've been to Montreal once and I loved it. Can't wait to go back and really take in the city.
Great to hear!
Really
I'll be visiting Montreal this February...Can't wait!!
That is really cool to hear! Make sure to dress warm as it will be chilly.
Absolutely....I'll be prepared =)

+Gianni D'Alerta Thank you very much! I hope you have a great time.
It is indeed a wonderfwul city! The architecture is amazing, and lots of great recreational opportunities from Mont Royal to the beautiful parks to the Lachine Rapides. The French/European ambience is special. La Basilique Notre Dame, where Celine Dion got married, is magical - you feel like the blue hues inside have transported you to heaven. I believe Celine even recorded an album there, too. Having a meal, drink or high tea at La Reine Elizabeth Hotel is worth it. Those Montreal bagels are special. I love my standby lox avec cc, but the one with apples that Sam was eating looked great as well. Hard to eat a bagel at Tim's after those. Which place did you actually visit, as I did not catch it? The smoked meats at Schwartz' deli on St Laurent are legendary! I love Rue Crescent for cafes and entertainment. I recall an Edith Piaf-like chanteuse singing her songs, and I could swear I was on the Rive Gauche (Left Bank) in Paris. I loved the old Forum on Sainte Catherine St, as Les Canadiens are my 2nd favorite team after my Boston Bruins. We have had many legendary playoff series thru the years. I was happy they got to the SC Finals this year, even if Bruins did not join them. Chicago Stadium does have an imposing arena for the Black Hawks, Sam, and I like their jerseys. I attended the 1976 Summer Olympics in MTL, but was too young for Expo '67 (did go to Expo '86 in Vancouver 3 times), but took the Metro to "Man and His World" since - as my speech teacher & her husband had gone and showed their home movies way back.

The eating is magnificent - even a simple croissant at the Airport bus station was better than any you would get in America! I have enjoyed all my visits to Montreal, and except for the long, cold winters, might have considered it as a place to live. Je parle un peu francais, so it would have been a natural. I also love QC, and all that city offers. Thanks for sharing this neat city!
It is an amazing city Jim! Indeed!

I love this video and this city.we can enjoy ourselves all time in peace .
TGhan you!

+dbiswas That's so cool! Hope you have a great trip.
+Samuel & Audrey Thanks Sam & Audrey :)
So, I'm pretty sure the audio and video aren't synched around the bagel part. Really distracting (to me anyways)
James Robert I'll have to look into that.
James Robert You are correct
The bagel part (with the guy eating it) was the best part.
James Robert Do you know the name of the place she got the bagels?
@@stockinettestitch St-Viateur Bagel
Thanks guys! This informed our trip and your tips were spot on!
Thank you very much!
Thanks, this will help me on my upcoming trip to Montreal.
LesDiablesBleus You're welcome! Hope you have a great time in Montreal :)

G.Heart London thanks! I agree with everything you said :)
And the really bad French Canadian accents
@M1978 1978 what?? Quebec people only have an accent when they speak English due to them learning French first.
I had 5 days in Montreal by myself in August 2015 and fell in love with the place. I especially love Old Montreal and the architecture around Plateau Mont Royal. The view from Mont Royal is great too. Just the general atmosphere of the city is lovely and the food is fantastic. I stayed at a B&B near McGill University which was very convenient.

Good video, very informative, I'm going there in 2 weeks. can I ask you what kind of camera or video recorder you used for making this video?
Thank you! We used a sony A77 back then to shoot this one. Hope you have a great trip.
I've been looking at the Plateu Mont-Royal area to stay about 4 nights and I like the area you showed in your video. Was that Bed and Breakfast of airb&b.. how can I find something similar? Which main street should I be looking at to be close to. Thanks!!
In my youth I went to Montreal any excuse to go there would do. Haven't been to Montreal in 30 years......going back next Tuesday! Thanks for the refresher on the sites and scenes.
Thank you! Wow! How exciting. It'll be interesting to see how the city has changed over 3 decades.
I used to visit alot and in 2003 I got a job working night security at McGill for 6 months... Sadly its been 14 years since I last had a visit .. On the pluse side I'm on my way back tomorrow and I'm really excited!!
Oh, that is cool to hear! Hope you have a great return visit.
Looks great, I cannot wait to go an try some poutine

awesome 👏 keep up the good work 👍
Thank you very much Serge!
A pro pro "GO HABS GO"! I live in Chicago, but my favorite Hockey team are Les Habs! But I like Denis Savard too.
Kevin Redmond Oh man, you're missing out on the golden age of the Blackhawks ;) Denis Savard is an icon in both cities. Good on you though for sticking with your team even though you live out of market. I can related being a Blackhawks fan having grown up near Vancouver.
I LIVE IN MONTREAL.I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO SO MUCH.I JUST THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE PUT THE INSECTARIUM IN YOUR VIDEO.
Thanks! Appreciate the suggestion as well.
Thanks guys, great video! I wish though that you had showed off the amazing Metro subway system too and some of the beautiful stations. I love Montreal. I was born there in 1968 and left in 1998. Who knows, I may return there someday to live. I miss it.
What's the bagel place you mentioned? Us friends are visiting Montreal in a week from Toronto so we are trying to get as much places down as possible!
+khanmu28 Thanks! St-Viateur Bagel! Highly recommended. Hope you have a great trip.
+khanmu28 another good place is yagel bagel
I was born here in montreal, lived here all my life... Couldn't ever move, even with all the political issues, high taxes and problems this city will always be my home.
You guys did excellent with the attractions, try to visit during the winter it's completely different!! So much to see and do.
Don't forget to mention, Amazing night life... I would say best in Canada.
:)
Rachel D thank you very much! Montreal is our favorite city in Canada :)
Heading to Montreal in 2 weeks. Although the audio was off (toward the end it was not synched) the review was quick and to the point. I was born and raised in the area of Montreal (Verdun and Chateauguay) but moved away when I turned 20. The things I miss the most are : the food, the tree lined streets, the spiral staircases, Mount Royal Park, the windy streets (the narrow streets), the cafes, and the food. Did I mention the food? Definitely the food.
Oh, I can see how you would miss all of those things - especially the food!
La Banquise! That was my favorite poutine place in Montreal. :)
***** That's cool! It really is that good :)
Samuel & Audrey So many good places to eat in Montreal. One of my favorites places was Café Santropol.
+nerdybird4 Banquise is good but overrated... I would never say no to a banquise but some others restaurants have better one. In my opinion the brouhaha restaurant served the best one.
I love Montreal city for sure I want to live in Montreal
Dr.Vijaya Bhaskhar Potla I actually had the chance to live in Montreal one summer. I did the Quebec Studies Summer Institute at McGill. I lived in one of the McGill dorms and took classes. I took a French language course and a course on the history of Quebec. :)
Great video! I'm planning a trip and this was a great primer for me. Btw, is that original music playing at 8:55 onward? If so I'd love to write to it. Dope track!
Priscilya Marie Thank you! Have a great time in Montreal. I believe that is from the TH-cam song collection.
good video! :) but it miss the parc jean-drapeau and la ronde of course, and even its canadian football ligue allouettes are one of the best franchise and its always fun to catch a game in the Perceval Molson stade.. :D
Genial !!!! Muchísisimas gracias.
Gracias Camille!
How far is super aqua club it's some water park, how far is it from Montreal ?
I love this place so goddamn much.
I am going to fly over to Montreal next month. The world championships in cup stacking will be held there, i can´t wait any longer to get there :)
StackingDaniel that's really cool! Best wishes with that and I hope you have fun in the city as well :)
Went to Montreal in 1989 from the US, been itching to head back, I might want to stay put. I know I would love the city that much.
It would be great if you have a chance to revisit again Peter!
I am going to Montreal in January next year with my wife and baby. I hope the weather would not be freezing, anyway I love the idea of being there for a couple of days. Btw your list of things to do there will help us a lot, thanks :)
*Beautiful video...thanks*
Thank you!
it's not just gravy as you would have fries and gravy but a special sauce with a touch of bbq flavour to it, THIS is what sets it apart!!
Thank You for the video 👍🏻
Thanks Dinara!
McGill university isn't just one of the most prestigious in Canada, but also in the world .

What do I love about Montreal? Cyphien Heart of course! xxoo
Feral Kitten we miss it so much!
Where do you get the bus pass? And how do you get to quebec city?
+Saila Islam You can get it at any metro station. I'd suggest taking the train (Via Rail) to Quebec City.
this is just what i was looking for. thanks guys!
Thank you very much!
The top of Mont-Royal can be reached by taking the 11 Bus at Mont-Royal Station on the Orange subway line, ask the bus driver to let you off at Beaver Lake or (Lac des Castors) or (Lac aux castors)
Ah, thanks for that information!
Open google maps : search for ''Montreal Lac aux castors'' and look for the walking path that leads to the ''Chalet du Mont-Royal '' there's an Amazing view of Downtown there... ..
No . The best way to get to Beaver lake is to take the 165 from Guy metro station. Its about six stops to Hill Park st. Just walk up the st. 10 mins. Boom ur there ! Alot easier than the 11 bus . Wtf
What's the best way to get from the airport to downtown? Public transportation or taxi?
From Massachusetts, USA- Montreal is a beauty...especially women!!
And do not forget to try the food :) Bonne visite.
Nice video by the way +1
+Manu & Peter Cooking Thank you! :)
I love Montreal so much!! I just posted a travel vlog from my time there!
Thanks for sharing!
Most beautiful City I have ever seen!
So cool to hear Anna!
what about Laronde
it's a big amusement park here in Montréal
Ah, that would be a good addition.
I loved the Just for Laughs festival. I walked most of Montreal and it's beautiful.
Charmlene Junis That's awesome! It is such a beautiful city to explore on foot :)
Vintage Sam & Audrey - the only travel vloggers I can stomach! Bravo!
Ah, thank you Phil! This is definitely a blast from the past. Just before we got married...haha
Hi peeps! you Samuel & Audrey are amazing,love your videos! very insightful,love your spirit and humor as well as your dedication!

The expos. I’m old enough to remember them
Great video like a lot :)
Thanks a lot!
very nice video ... thanx
Thank you very much Ravi!
@@samuelandaudrey this video is actually good for visualisation ... coming soon montreal :-)
thanks again !!
J'aime votre sunglasses at 6:15. What is the brand?
Ray Bans :)
Where did you buy the bagels?
At St-Viateur Bagel. They have several locations throughout the city :)
I would add the Parc Jean Drapeau with its great views and the Biosphere Dome. I also love the Jacques Cartier Bridge
Great suggestions! So many cool things to do in the city.
I love the old Montreal !!😘😍
Such a great place to walk around.
Loved Montreal! The smoked meat at Schwartz was super delicious! :)
*Schwartz's ;)
stefan von holzen That's awesome! If I lived in Montreal I'd be going back again and again...hahaha
just visited montreal recently! beautiful city! 🧡🧡🧡
That is cool to hear!
love Montreal, i try to visit at least once a year... i alternate summer and winter to get the best of both worlds lol
So cool to hear! Entirely different city with such contrasts in weather.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos it definitely is, that’s why I like to go during both times. Being from Texas, I don’t get to see winters like that so I welcome it - for at least a week or so lol...
Can't wait to stay there for at least 7 weeks starting May. :)
+Derppi Wow! That's exciting. You're picking a great time of year to visit.
Where can i find the bagels you were eating?
St-Viateur. They're great!
+Samuel & Audrey thank you, guys. Tomorrow I'll buy some. :)
Great Video! Tks friends
Thank you!
cool! I am going to be there on june!
+christian Alvarado Thanks! That is awesome. Hope you enjoy the city.
+Samuel & Audrey would u recomend to me a specific tour? do I have to go to quebec city and toronto? I will be only 7 nights
+christian Alvarado I would skip Toronto and spend more time in Montreal and Quebec City. Quebec City is especially easy to get around on foot and Montreal has a great metro to get from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Not bad but a bit touristy and thus downtown-focused. More info about neighbourhoods is appreciated: Outremont, Mile End, NDG, Plateau, McGill Ghetto, Westmount.
Thanks! Yeah, wish we had more time to do that.
Hey there, great video!
Im 20 years old, from Denmark. Now, next summer, i am taking my sister to an academy in Meadoawmount. Therefore, I am staying in montreal for 8 weeks, from mid june to mid august, so that I can accompany her back
But since i don't know much about Montreal (or Canada for that matter) I wondered if someone more familiar , could tell me more.
Most importantly: Where is the center-part of Montreal?! I am going to rent an apartment in Montreal, but it has to be close to everything, transport, shopping, entertainment etc. I've heard that it's Downtown Montreal, but there are many areas within it, so I would love to hear where it's best to live, especially for a young guy like me.
Also, is it possible to manage with just english? Because I don't know any french...
Thanks in advance -Mickey :)
+Mickey Holm Montreal has a great metro system so anywhere you live within the city is not too far away from the downtown core. The best area for culture, restaurants and living in my opinion is Le Plateau. You could get by with just English but even learning some basic French will make you feel more comfortable during your stay.
Samuel & Audrey I see, I have heard great things about Le Plateau, so I will definitely check that out some more.
Thank you so much, it was a great help -love your video's btw :)
What did he put on his bagels 🥯??? Looks 😋 yummy!!
Some delicious cream cheese.
