Toka Travel: Montreal

Montreal Canada

Montreal is the metropolis of the province of Quebec. While Quebec City is the political capital, Montreal serves as the cultural and economic heart of Quebec and is the primary gateway to the province. Montreal is a city rich in culture, large enough to offer a variety of exciting activities, yet small enough to maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Every part of the city has something to offer: the old-port showcases the charm of the old French city; Downtown is the hub for shopping and nightlife; Plateau Mont-Royal is known for its French restaurants and boutiques, as well as the Lafontaine park; Quartier Latin is the place for French shows, cinemas, and restaurants; Little Italia is famous for the Jean-Talon market and its delectable restaurants; Mile-End is renowned for its excellent cafes; Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is home to the Maisonneuve park, the Botanic Garden, the Biodome, and the Olympic stadium; Ste-Helene and Notre-Dame islands offer tranquility and peace; and the magnificent Mont-Royal provides ski rental and the best ski conditions. Often referred to as the Paris of Canada, Montreal boasts stunning architecture, including the awe-inspiring Basilique Notre-Dame. As a city with a rich, almost European, culture, Montreal is a must-visit destination.
