For first-time visitors
Montréal is a walkable, bikeable, French-speaking North American city that feels older than the rest of the continent and younger than most of Europe. You’ll eat well, hear two languages on every corner, and probably end up climbing a small mountain.
Three or four days is enough for a strong first taste. A week is better in summer, when festivals run almost nightly. In winter, lean into long meals, museums, and the Underground City between stops.
