I lived in Montreal all of 2017, I got cancer is July of that year and had to return back to Australia in dec. I pretty much lived in the city at la marq, seeing this just brings back so many memories, I hope to get a job back there in five or so years, I have to wait till I’m 100 in remission.
@CheezusCrust I agree. Everyone wanting to live and work in Montreal and anywhere in Quebec, must learn French. I have visited Montreal a few times, and love the city because of its history and language. Sad to see too many foreigners living there who don't speak the language. Je me souviens.
For all people watching this, this is Canada, not USA, this is Montreal, Quebec, the largest french speaking city after Paris. Thanks for the upload J Utah!
Sijbrand P. Takes I would kindly disagree with that, especially in today's political climate, Canadian and American cultures are becoming very distinct although we do share many similarities...
I lived in Paris but I'm originally from Montreal and I would say that Montreal is way larger than Paris. The latter being a very dense city though with most of its buildings kind of clustered together
Wow I'm very impressed with the historic architecture. The piercing blue sky set against the snow/slush gives it a surreal look. Also the sun being so far south there is lot's of shadow but the sky is bright blue, totally surreal
Architecture is beautiful, winter is brutal though. Not much sun or blue skies in the winter. haven't seen the sun for 10 straight days now. Just got back from a Florida vacation and it really is a downer.
Leroy B it is one of rare city in North America where you can see a real historic district like un Europe ! Not as beautiful like un Europe but exceptional for this part of the World! Some places you really feel that you are like in a small town in western France !
If you want great architecture, go to Québec (Ville de Québec). It is truly impossible to tell whether you are in Britanny (France) or in Québec in some places.
Montreal in winter, YES! I remember it well, I used to live there and loved it!!! I love that there are lots of people walking around, even in winter! There are more people walking around Montreal on a cold winter day than there are in La, Dallas or Atlanta on a nice, summer day!
You are comparing apples and oranges, Montreal is a centralized city that density decreases as you head away from the city center.. while Dallas, Los Angeles, and Atlanta are de-centralized cities, meaning that there are 3 to 4 different city centers. Montreal was also built before the automobile, while the other cities were built during the automobile era. More suitable cities to compare would be Boston, Philly, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago,Denver....etc
So this was my first time visiting when cold. Loved it! Montreal is a special city. Will be back again when its warmer soon. And yes - Love the amount of people walking around :) Nice to hear from you again Torontopia!
Yes your points are valid and I think that's the reason people like visiting Montreal, the downtown is usually active with a lot of people on the streets. I don't want to offend anyone but Montreal and Toronto are the only Canadian cities with real action on the street (Vancouver is so so). I've been to all large Canadian cities and the places are ghost towns. I've been to lots of medium sized U.S cities and they too are ghost towns. I just came back from Tampa FL, its a very nice city, with some nice architecture and views but the downtown was dead. It seems to me that not a lot of people LIVE downtown in these cities. Office workers come in for work then at 5:00 they take off - back to the burbs.
Torontopia Montreal in some aspects more European than North American, people there are still living in the city centre, giving this European Vibe! Non a generic North American city , but a city with character!
sylvain descoteaux not so, the four years I’ve lived in Montréal I didn’t feel so welcomed. It’s might be because I couldn’t parle français very well. Ontario’s better for me imo
@@louiszhang3050 . it is not ,because you could not speak french well , but may be like many 'immigrants' you prefer to speak in english in a french speaking society! It is quite rude actually. Like many , you do not know much about the history of Canada. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the term 'Canadian' was applied to french descents from this part of the world.It is only later that the 'english' started to appropriate the name. As such the genuine canadians are the ' french' , same as a the national anthem which is in fact a french canadian song. And please do not tell me french is too hard to master. Because i do not think that the immigrants in Canada is more stupid than the one in France. Because I can assure you that in France you will be able to speak within one year ,because the french are not as nice ( soft) as the french canadian . ( At Rome do as Roman)
Montrealer here: Nice video. Got hooked on your channel by watching your recent Buenos Aires night drive. If (when) you come back, you gotta do it in late spring, summer, or early autumn. Montreal is indeed a special place during the winter, but 24 hours after a snow storm, all that pristine white snow quickly turns into brown and back slush. Also: Constant road works in Montreal have made driving here a nightmare. Best to return when all is completed… in about 2049 ;-)
I am learning french and also know basic french😍because my dream is to study in Montreal after my high school♥️Love you Montréal. My dream city♥️ J'adore Montréal
Was here last week! I like an hour south of Toronto. There is nowhere like Quebec in North America. It's like Europe and North America at the same time. If you haven't been, it's a must see!
Nice to see as videoj Utah im glad to Know montreal is recognize ! Merci beaucoup d'être venue visiter Montréal ! Thank you very much to came visit Montreal ! If you Come back soon its the winter already haha !
Thanks Max! Been to Montreal in both summer and winter. And prefer the summer :) I want to come back and do some more during the summer soon. Beautiful city! Cheers :)

@@Schlomothebest how?! I've never heard Montréal being compared to Cleveland before. MTL is a pretty old city so it doesn't look all shiny everywhere, but that doesn't make it deserve to be compared to fucking Cleveland. If anything, MTL looks like the child of Paris, NYC and Chicago (but smaller obviously).
jojofromtx ...actually Cleveland does have hills(Cedar Hill, Seven Hills, etc) but it was a ridiculous comparison, attempting to degrade both cities. Cleveland is actually a very interesting city with a great cultural, food and sports scene. As does Montreal.
Going to be driving here in two weeks. I’m from the states where everywhere you can right turn on red. I think the hardest habit to break it no right turning on red in Montreal.
European come to Montréal for its very North American feel, while North Americans come to the city for its European vibe. No wonder we struggle to define who we are.

vince orr albert Montreal is a multicultural city. You don’t have to learn French to live there. Don’t be so rude.
@CheezusCrust damn youre fucking rude!
@CheezusCrust typical Quebec prick. No wonder the rest of Canada doesn't like you.
@CheezusCrust I agree. Everyone wanting to live and work in Montreal and anywhere in Quebec, must learn French. I have visited Montreal a few times, and love the city because of its history and language. Sad to see too many foreigners living there who don't speak the language. Je me souviens.

It even says Canada in the title... wtf I guess since both countries have the same infrastructure
yo yo a nah Canada is more European styled than America.

Montreal,s one of the most beautiful city in the world!!!!
Such a smooth ride in a city such as Montreal!..I almost feel like I’m in the passenger seat looking around.Keep up the good work with your videos!
Lived in Montreal for 3 months back in 2019, one of the best times in my life. Watching this video was like all those memories flashing back to me.

Great people in Canada! It really is a friendly country. Love it!
Yikes, not so much in Montreal. Whenever I go to any other province people treat me much better and seem to be nicer. Maybe it’s cause I’m English?

You don't need to in Montreal, there's a lot of English spoken there. Quebec City is a different story though.
@@Floridafanatic28I love Quebec City. They do speak English there !
I didn't know Montreal had a huge wheel in the Old Port! It must be new! Great tour!
This was my first time back since they put it up. That was my first time seeing it too! :)
I went in the summer of 2017. Was it there already?

You mean it feels nice seeing the orange cones, detours, and streets being ripped up constantly.

I feel like when watching this video that Montréal has a European feel to it. I think if I visit Canada, Montreal is the first city I want to visit.
do that in the summer bruh its better ;p
Maybe because many people speak French there
Bossy Bryner that’s true it’s just the architecture is quite European
real snowy winter
Perfect this place 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Indeed!
