Well, it's not hidden, but the bike paths along both rivers are really beautiful and pleasant to bike on, and they're quite extensive. If you want to rent a BIXI, might as well pay the monthly subscription of $20. It gives you unlimited and free access to bikes for as long as you want. You just have to dock it every 45 minutes to start a new free ride. It's great! Just remember to cancel the subsequent month. You can also take an electric bike if you want to take it easy, but there are no free rides on those.
I feel that’s a great recommendation as well! I’m sure there’s a lot to see along these paths 👍🏾. I was aware of the bixi system but I actually didn’t know there was a monthly subscription. That is a very useful tip
Thank you ! I had wanted to go to the look out just above the Big O. Sadly it was closed. They were supposed to reopen this year, however the govt announced they will be replacing the roof. So not sure if it will be open to the public this year in the end.. The Vans skate park seems like it’s top notch. There was also outdoor rock climbing activites there as well..😅. So much to do in the city !
Oh i didn't think that i could been closed for some reason , and now the Roof not sure it will be open until renovation is done , i hope it will , cross my fingers @@travels_wright
This is one of the best intro guides to Montréal I've come across! And I've watched a lot. I'm looking forward to taking my 5th trip this fall to check out the autumn colours and a slightly quieter city. Thanks for investing the time in making quality content I can use and share 😊
I really appreciate your comment! So many hours goes into prepping this style of content so it truly makes me happy that there are others finding good use out of it. Going to Montreal during the autumn season is a solid plan too. The weather stays nice till even early October in some cases and the scenery is just impressive to see with the changing foliage. Autumn is perhaps one of my most favored seasons. I hope you have a great trip 🙌🏾
I am from Astana and I really want to visit Canada! I even started learning French. Thank you for the great work that you've done! I really like cold weather, ice skating, and wood! I might even move to Canada one day! :)
Hello! Thanks for watching. It sounds like you are well on your way to making your dream a reality. You’ll find a bit of everything here in Canada: warm summer weather and cold winters. There will not be a shortage of activities for you to participate in. Hope you further accomplish your goal of living in Canada ! All the best
This is one of the best videos I have encountered about Montreal’s best activities. I’m about to finish my trip and I am gonna try to visit all the places you recommended. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I am an every summer visitor. I love Montreal. I drive from Detroit in my convertible so that I can cruise around on those sultry nights while listening to smooth jazz. By the way, by my second visit, i had been to most sites featured in this vid. Thank you for your channel!!
I can’t say that I blame you! Montréal is known for its amazing ambiance, especially during the warmer months. Must be an interesting way to see the city from a convertible (what kind ?). Thank you for watching the video. Hopefully it was useful for some new ideas too. 👍🏾
@travels_wright your vid is great for new ideas, such as the late night dinner cruise. I have a well preserved black on black 2010 Sebring Convertible. Generally, I only cruise around in it during the wee hours because the Montreal metro is wonderfully efficient. I can't wait to ride the R.E.M.!!!
Really happy the video was of some value. I also appreciate you watching and leaving the kind compliment 🙏🏽. Be sure to subscribe for more content, helps out the channel in many ways . Hope you have an amazing visit 🙌🏾
I like the idea! Especially with black history month just around the corner. You may have seen It already, but I included Boom J’s Cuisine (Jamaican Cuisine) in my top 10 food places in Montreal video. Doing a whole set of good black owned restaurants would be a great idea too. 👌🏾
It is! People of haitian descent have settled deep roots within the city, being somewhere between 8 and 9% of the population. They have influenced music, food and community culture. Their influence is relatively large within youth culture as well, with Montreal street slang being a special mix of french canadian, north american english, hatian creole, with even an occasional sprinkle of spanish expressions.
Terima kasih sudah menyuguhkan vlog yang sangat detail sekali ini, saya suka sekali dengan cara membawakan alur cerita vlognya sangat jelas dan mudah di mengerti
Thank you for the great idea. I’ll probably do that for the upcoming winter as spring is right around the corner. Genuinely happy you enjoyed the video 🙏🏽.
I’ve long had a fascination for Montreal. Some years ago I had a stopover in Toronto and stayed there for 4 days but I would have preferred if it had been in Montreal. Btw. The clock tower is nothing like the “Big Ben” (which is actually a bell) Tower😁
Le Village au Pied-du-Courant is a great place to chill, have drink, listen to some music and much more... i highly recommand that place... best spot to watch the fireworks
Hi. Do we need a car to reach Le Village au Pied-du-Courant? My Québec friend has a car and wants to take me to somewhere I haven't yet been. Other than that, I'll be visiting and revisiting places in Montrèal by métro on my own. I'll be traveling to Montréal in April. Merci!😀
So happy that RUclips recommended your GR8 channel!👍🏼 New subbie here😀 YT suggested you while I was researching certain aspects of Montréal, where I haven't traveled since 2019. I used to visit there 2x a year, but I need a refresh because I'm headed back to that beautiful city really soon. Thanks for recommending Old Montréal, when some travel hosts poo-poo the area as being touristy. Well, I don't mind the touristy elements because I focus on the history and architecture. And I loooove the restos, bakeries and historic houses that are museums much worth visiting. The Old Port is wonderful, including the lookout and la Grande Roue. That Ferris wheel was constructed for Montréal's 175th birthday in 2017 -- and I missed several chances to ride it before the pandemic, so I'll remedy that this spring.❤🎡❤ Other neigborhoods that I must visit again are le Plateau, la Petite Italie? la Petite Patrie, NDG, Hochelaga et Griffintown. I hope I have time to revisit Atwater market and to see the beautiful animals and marine life i side of the Biodôme. Merci!✌🏼
I can definitely feel your passion for the city. You’re definitely right about Old Montreal. It’s such a vibrant sector that has so much character and a large selection of restaurants and activities. I bid you a fantastic visit to Montreal. Thank you for subscribing as well as it really helps the channel 👍🏾
Montréal is like one of the hidden North American Gems. Kinda Have to see it to believe it, but the city has so much to offer from food to festivals to its scenery. Thank you for watching and leaving the comment. Much appreciated 🙏🏽
Hey! Thanks for checking out the video and for leaving your feedback. Not sure if you’re a local or planning on visiting the city , but I hope it comes in handy 👍🏾
This is the best video on Montreal! I have been to Montreal many times, and some of the old hang out places have been closed, torn down and been built on. This is a great update! Thank you for making the video!
Hey! Thanks for the comment. The city is always changing and there are so many new restaurants and activities that are launched annually, but I find this video also incorporates a lot of the classic places that have been around for quite some time. Happy you enjoyed it !
That means a lot…You wouldn’t believe the amount of effort that goes into it. Especially considering it being a 1-person operation. I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm for the channel 🙏🏽
Nice! November is definitely a cooler month, but as you saw, there are still quite a few indoor activities to enjoy in the city. I highly recommend visiting during the summer months as well to get the full experience if ever you have the opportunity. Thank you for the compliment. Very much appreciated 🙏🏾. There’s more content to come.
Montréal is definitely a unique city ! As they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. So I am sure you appreciate the city even more. Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
@@travels_wright Yes, very useful! That underground shopping center looks wild. A similar thing is in the Taipei metro and goes on forever. I'm from Ohio. My motorcycle is a Royal Enfield Shotgun 650.
Yes, the 4 metro stations connects the various shopping centers. Very convenient. I just googled your bike. Has a nice vintage look to it. I hope you have a safe trip 👍🏾
What a great travel video! Thanks for all your work putting it together it will certainly make my trip planning much faster and easier than plowing through a book. Hoping to get there in September!
Early September is the perfect time time to come. Lines are reduced because of school and the weather is still nice! Be sure to subscribe in case I post new content 👍🏾
Hum. I'm here now, fairly good guide. I'm surprised he didn't mention smoked meats, I.e. Schwartz Deli. (Among others). It was quite tasty!!!! If you love japanese / KAZU is one of my top favourite restaurants
When we prepare for a trip, we watch A LOT of travel videos. Yours was among one of the best* we have come across. After wading through so many awful ones, finding your was such a delight! Thank you! I look forward to more. * Also great: Tony Galvez Road Trip Spain & Portugal, Yellow Productions
Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback…I genuinely appreciate the compliment. Hopefully you’ll stick around for more content? It seems you are planning a trip to Montreal so I hope you have an amazing experience in the city ! 👍🏾
I loved this video! Thanks for sharing all of these great recomendaciones 😊 I'm going to Montreal in about 2 weeks so I needed a guide like this! Thanks once again 🙌💫
I really enjoyed your video! I took notes for our upcoming trip to Montreal. Your video is well made, and your voice is soothing! I'm looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you for this inspiring video. You have whetted my appetite for my upcoming trip to Montreal and helped me sort out my activities. Thank you again.
I genuinely appreciate the comment. You wouldn’t believe how much work goes into putting it together so it makes me happy to know that viewers can take benefit from it . If you’re planning a trip to Montreal, I hope you have an amazing experience 👌🏾
Thank you very much for sharing this amazing informative RUclips video. We are still undecided between traveling to Montreal Vs. London for our 2024 fall break family vacation. I like Montreal culture, building, and things to do with 3 boys a lot so far! Thank you again.
It’s a little cooler during the fall but we have been getting great September weather over the past few years. There are fewer festivals but the rest of the activities are still available, plus, there are fewer tourists compared to the summer months. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your vacation wherever you decide to go 👍🏾
Superb video! 🏆 Very useful content and clearly spoken. Heading to Montreal next week ..can’t wait to check out all the attractions. Subscribed! Merci beaucoup!
I’m sure you will enjoy your stay in the city ! With the construction holiday in the province, it’s sure to be a busy week. Thank you for watching , un gros merci !
Yikes… that can’t be good… I know the city of Montreal announced a budget of $1 billion this year to redo the roof. I hope that also Includes the foundation 😅. Thanks for the inside scoop !
Thank you for posting! I’ll be taking a group of 40 students to downtown Montreal next month for a day tour on a stop over back home to South America, I’m quite excited. However, none of us speak French 😢 can we survive with just English? I took note of some of your suggestions to visit. Thank you so much!
Wow amazing to hear! I’m sure you and your students will have a good time. I wouldn’t worry so much about the French especially if you’re in a touristy area. Most people are bilingual and can accommodate you in both English and French. 👍🏾
Very well-put and highly detailed! Especially appreciate as I’m planning my trip to Montreal this year Christmas. Any must-visit places not to miss during that time? Thanks there 😊
Thank you! Very much appreciated . For the Christmas season, I believe (La Grande Roue) is still open so this could be a nice activity to take part in. I would also visit the Biodôme as it’s indoor. Place ville Marie is normally nicely decorated with lights during this time of year and also has a connection to the underground mall in case you want to do some shopping. I also uploaded a video on my channel on some interesting restaurants to visit as well. See the link here : ruclips.net/video/gskYBO0V3Uo/видео.htmlsi=RcVlOnugg8EU3z4r Hope you have a fantastic visit to Montreal 🙌🏾
@@travels_wright I went with my boyfriend in the winter of 2014 I believe and I loved the atmosphere and how secluded it was (walking to our room felt like a spa). It also had the biggest bed I've ever seen that was extremely comfortable, old brick walls, a fireplace, jet tub and was situated downtown by the St. Lawrence River. I paid extra to have breakfast and mimosas in bed and I'm planning for us to go back this year in the fall :)
Wow, sounds like they had great amenities when you stayed at the hotel. The location is super ideal as well. Very central to the touristic area. Autumn is an Amazing time to visit because of the changing foliage. No doubt you’ll have another great time. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check it out 👍🏾
@@travels_wright Yes, that's when I'm planning to book us! They also have a rooftop terrace where you can watch the fireworks although we didn't do that last time but we'll probably have dinner there this time. It's quite expensive but I recommend the King rooms for a special occasion.
Hi there. Hope all is well. I wanted to know if you can possibly give some recommendations as to where to stay in Quebec Montreal… We will be traveling from Chicago 🫶🏾
I haven’t stayed in too many hotels in MTL but… I did do a review of the Honeyrose Hotel. It’s right next to the metro and central to a lot of activities in the city. See the video here for your reference. Let me know if you have any additional questions :-). ruclips.net/video/C-Z0a9_MYC8/видео.html
I love Montreal, but I have not visited there since a youngster. Thanks for the fantastic update. My only criticism is that they should use laser shows instead of fireworks, since fireworks contain toxins and pollute the ground and water, bioaccumulation.
Perhaps that may be the way of the future ! Thanks for watching. It would definitely be worth making another visit before the summer is over. Happy travels !
PRO TIP: Save money when buying your tickets to the paid Montreal attractions of your choice by visiting the Montreal Passport webpage. Buy your tickets in a bundle instead of buying your tickets individually to save on the overall Cost of the paid activities: www.mtl.org/en/deals/passport/passeport-mtl-summer-fall-2023?gclid=CjwKCAjwgZCoBhBnEiwAz35Rws2c0m49Pm40tt9OztGqtxIBGXRmu288R4kaq3U-MGQMRuELRN0rhBoCJEUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Hello! Thanks for watching the video ! Can I ask which outings you were looking to visit? We are now in March so the city is coming out of the colder months. A lot of the indoor attractions should still be accessible however. Believe it or not, even the Ferris Wheel should also be open. Let me know 👍🏾
Yes! A lot of the indoor activities are still open. Even the Ferris wheel for example is still open. Before picking a location, just do a quick google search before going just to confirm the opening the respective locations. I also just did a video on places to eat in Montreal. Feel free to also check it out: ruclips.net/video/gskYBO0V3Uo/видео.htmlsi=IseO09IYSVknHpek
Nice video well done,however you forgot to point out the traffic congestion nightmare. Also did you edit out the Orange Cones ?. Montreal is famous for its orange cones and pot holes.😢
Yah, I call it the orange circus as I struggle to get away from rue Ste-Catherine as I walk from west to east. Single-file walking makes me fume, BUT I respect the city's need to fix its streets and do renovations. And I do love rue Ste-Catherine still.💕
Montreal has a unique architecture ( 400 years )at Square St -Louis and the plateau .... Mount Royal avenue is pedestrian only .... Montreal has 10 major streets pedestrian only
That’s actually a very good question. Like all hotels it really goes by season some periods will be higher than others. Most hotels in the downtown and old port region will be a little more pricy to stay at. So if your goal is to save money, AIr bnb could be a great option. I did a full review of the Honeyrose Hotel. Very nice place to stay. You can check out the video here to see if this would be a good hotel for you👍🏾: ruclips.net/video/C-Z0a9_MYC8/видео.html
I did another video on Charlevoix Quebec. Supper nice rural area with nice scenery. Can definitely make that trip if you are headed to Quebec City 👍🏾 VIDEO LINK: Things to do In beautiful Charlevoix Quebec. Travel Tour guide ruclips.net/video/PpTI7PZxHZ8/видео.html
2 questions 😅. In your opinion, why is Montreal overrated and how does the province’s official language play a role in the overall experience you will have in the city?
It's a gorgeous walkable city..... I'm here right now. And I can tell you, I'm absolutely functioning alright, not being able to speak French. Montrealers are very welcoming and they help me out!
@AhhhSukeSuke Absolutely ! Within Montreal you will always be able to find bilingual people. Especially in the downtown sector. The know it’s the season for tourist as well so they will try to accommodate. Hope you’re having a good time so far ✌🏽
Thank you, so much ! I hope you have gotten value from this content. I’ll definitely use this to put out more videos you can enjoy. Hope you have an amazing day !
Born and raised Montrealer here, your video was very thorough and well made! Plus you have a very soothing voice :)
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽. From your point of view, What would you consider to be a hidden gem in the city ??
Well, it's not hidden, but the bike paths along both rivers are really beautiful and pleasant to bike on, and they're quite extensive. If you want to rent a BIXI, might as well pay the monthly subscription of $20. It gives you unlimited and free access to bikes for as long as you want. You just have to dock it every 45 minutes to start a new free ride. It's great! Just remember to cancel the subsequent month. You can also take an electric bike if you want to take it easy, but there are no free rides on those.
I feel that’s a great recommendation as well! I’m sure there’s a lot to see along these paths 👍🏾. I was aware of the bixi system but I actually didn’t know there was a monthly subscription. That is a very useful tip
Totally agree!
Thank you🙏🏽
You missed the Vans Skatepark and the iconic BIG O while you were at the stadium , BTW Good video
Thank you !
I had wanted to go to the look out just above the Big O. Sadly it was closed. They were supposed to reopen this year, however the govt announced they will be replacing the roof. So not sure if it will be open to the public this year in the end..

What is the best time to see colors?
The month of October is a good time to see the fall colours !
This video is the best on many levels most importantly the calm voice of the narrator.

Have you ever considered doing a vid on the fantastic foods of Montreal's various Black communities? I heard that the Haitian food scene is amazing!
I like the idea! Especially with black history month just around the corner. You may have seen It already, but I included Boom J’s Cuisine (Jamaican Cuisine) in my top 10 food places in Montreal video. Doing a whole set of good black owned restaurants would be a great idea too. 👌🏾

Hum. I'm here now, fairly good guide. I'm surprised he didn't mention smoked meats, I.e. Schwartz Deli. (Among others). It was quite tasty!!!! If you love japanese / KAZU is one of my top favourite restaurants
Very helpful, very detailed 😊, I will probably do this 😊
Awesome ! Hope you have a fantastic trip 👍🏾
I’m planning for that, next spring 🤞
When we prepare for a trip, we watch A LOT of travel videos. Yours was among one of the best* we have come across. After wading through so many awful ones, finding your was such a delight! Thank you! I look forward to more.
* Also great: Tony Galvez Road Trip Spain & Portugal, Yellow Productions

@travels_wright September. We will be there for 5 days before we have to start heading home to California.
Great video... well done sir!
Thanks for watching 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for this inspiring video. You have whetted my appetite for my upcoming trip to Montreal and helped me sort out my activities. Thank you again.
Glad the video had a positive effect 🙏🏽. I hope you have an amazing trip, comeback to let the community know how it was !
TREMENDOUS VIDEO. So many great suggestions and tips. Thanks!!!
Not a problem! Hope you enjoy the city !
Absolutely fabulous video on Montreal! Definitely the best and most comprehensive that I have seen.
I genuinely appreciate the comment. You wouldn’t believe how much work goes into putting it together so it makes me happy to know that viewers can take benefit from it . If you’re planning a trip to Montreal, I hope you have an amazing experience 👌🏾
@@travels_wright I live here so I appreciate how much effort and detail went into this. I even learned a few new things about my city. Thank you!
@@cheryllynch4436 🙏🏽
Thank you very much for sharing this amazing informative RUclips video. We are still undecided between traveling to Montreal Vs. London for our 2024 fall break family vacation. I like Montreal culture, building, and things to do with 3 boys a lot so far! Thank you again.
It’s a little cooler during the fall but we have been getting great September weather over the past few years. There are fewer festivals but the rest of the activities are still available, plus, there are fewer tourists compared to the summer months. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your vacation wherever you decide to go 👍🏾
@travels_wright thank you so very much again. I appreciate the one-on-one reply.
Superb video! 🏆
Very useful content and clearly spoken. Heading to Montreal next week ..can’t wait to check out all the attractions. Subscribed! Merci beaucoup!
I’m sure you will enjoy your stay in the city ! With the construction holiday in the province, it’s sure to be a busy week. Thank you for watching , un gros merci !
Thanks for the video. An architect I know told me the Olympic stadium is sinking under the tower area. It’s two heavy on one side
Yikes… that can’t be good… I know the city of Montreal announced a budget of $1 billion this year to redo the roof. I hope that also Includes the foundation 😅. Thanks for the inside scoop !
@@travels_wright a lot of taxes went into the Olympic stadium. Oh well that’s the way it is.
I agree..it’s a significant amount of money…
Thank you for this great video!
Hope it can be of some help 👍🏾
Very informative.. thank-you
Thank You ! Glad it was helpful!
please do a video for winter season also
24:00 fun fact, William Shatner is born in Montreal. Btw great video !
Wow, I totally wasn’t aware of that… I knew he was Canadian but not that he was from MTL. Thanks for watching !
Thank you for posting! I’ll be taking a group of 40 students to downtown Montreal next month for a day tour on a stop over back home to South America, I’m quite excited. However, none of us speak French 😢 can we survive with just English? I took note of some of your suggestions to visit. Thank you so much!
Wow amazing to hear! I’m sure you and your students will have a good time. I wouldn’t worry so much about the French especially if you’re in a touristy area. Most people are bilingual and can accommodate you in both English and French.
👍🏾
@@travels_wright Thank you!! I’ll post here and let you know how it went. Keep up the amazing work!
Very well-put and highly detailed! Especially appreciate as I’m planning my trip to Montreal this year Christmas. Any must-visit places not to miss during that time? Thanks there 😊
Thank you! Very much appreciated . For the Christmas season, I believe (La Grande Roue) is still open so this could be a nice activity to take part in. I would also visit the Biodôme as it’s indoor. Place ville Marie is normally nicely decorated with lights during this time of year and also has a connection to the underground mall in case you want to do some shopping. I also uploaded a video on my channel on some interesting restaurants to visit as well. See the link here : ruclips.net/video/gskYBO0V3Uo/видео.htmlsi=RcVlOnugg8EU3z4r
Hope you have a fantastic visit to Montreal 🙌🏾
@@travels_wright Amazing!!! You’re so kind and nice! Appreciate so much 👍
@@travels_wright Newly subscribed to your channel btw! Your voice is so soothing ☺️
You’re most welcome 👍🏾
Also, thank you for supporting the channel. It’s also appreciated 🙏🏽
Great video and I really like your voice.
I appreciate the compliment 🙏🏽
Thanks!
Great video thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Hope it was helpful
I highly recommend staying at l'Auberge du Vieux-Port... it's my favourite hotel in the world :)
Nice ! When did you stay and what impressed you the most about the hotel ?
@@travels_wright I went with my boyfriend in the winter of 2014 I believe and I loved the atmosphere and how secluded it was (walking to our room felt like a spa). It also had the biggest bed I've ever seen that was extremely comfortable, old brick walls, a fireplace, jet tub and was situated downtown by the St. Lawrence River. I paid extra to have breakfast and mimosas in bed and I'm planning for us to go back this year in the fall :)
Wow, sounds like they had great amenities when you stayed at the hotel. The location is super ideal as well. Very central to the touristic area. Autumn is an Amazing time to visit because of the changing foliage. No doubt you’ll have another great time. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check it out 👍🏾
@@travels_wright Yes, that's when I'm planning to book us! They also have a rooftop terrace where you can watch the fireworks although we didn't do that last time but we'll probably have dinner there this time. It's quite expensive but I recommend the King rooms for a special occasion.
Great video.
Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏🏽
Can see the oratory from my bedroom window 😁
As a hispanic, THANK you for pronouncing "croqueta" correctly.
Haha, thank you for noticing 👍🏾.
Very well done
Thank you so much for watching !
Hi there. Hope all is well. I wanted to know if you can possibly give some recommendations as to where to stay in Quebec Montreal… We will be traveling from Chicago 🫶🏾
I haven’t stayed in too many hotels in MTL but… I did do a review of the Honeyrose Hotel. It’s right next to the metro and central to a lot of activities in the city. See the video here for your reference. Let me know if you have any additional questions :-).
ruclips.net/video/C-Z0a9_MYC8/видео.html
I love Montreal, but I have not visited there since a youngster. Thanks for the fantastic update. My only criticism is that they should use laser shows instead of fireworks, since fireworks contain toxins and pollute the ground and water, bioaccumulation.
Perhaps that may be the way of the future ! Thanks for watching. It would definitely be worth making another visit before the summer is over.
Happy travels !
@@travels_wright I wish. It is unlikely I will travel there this year, but will plan to do so next coming years. Thanks again for your post.
PRO TIP: Save money when buying your tickets to the paid Montreal attractions of your choice by visiting the Montreal Passport webpage. Buy your tickets in a bundle instead of buying your tickets individually to save on the overall Cost of the paid activities: www.mtl.org/en/deals/passport/passeport-mtl-summer-fall-2023?gclid=CjwKCAjwgZCoBhBnEiwAz35Rws2c0m49Pm40tt9OztGqtxIBGXRmu288R4kaq3U-MGQMRuELRN0rhBoCJEUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
What about the smoke meat sandwich in Montreal! It the best😢
It’s undoubtedly a staple food category in Montreal!
Oh gosh... it is Monday today in Montreal and quite all great attractions from your video are closed...
Hello!
Thanks for watching the video ! Can I ask which outings you were looking to visit? We are now in March so the city is coming out of the colder months. A lot of the indoor attractions should still be accessible however. Believe it or not, even the Ferris Wheel should also be open. Let me know 👍🏾
Hi, sorry for the late response.. after submitting the documents in the medical,
Can we still visit these places in fall or winter?
Yes! A lot of the indoor activities are still open. Even the Ferris wheel for example is still open. Before picking a location, just do a quick google search before going just to confirm the opening the respective locations. I also just did a video on places to eat in Montreal. Feel free to also check it out: ruclips.net/video/gskYBO0V3Uo/видео.htmlsi=IseO09IYSVknHpek
Nice video well done,however you forgot to point out the traffic congestion nightmare. Also did you edit out the Orange Cones ?. Montreal is famous for its orange cones and pot holes.😢
😂😂😂 thank you
Montreal does have A LOT of construction cones😅
Negative Nancy!😂
Montréal is much more than about orange cones and trafic.
😂😂
Yah, I call it the orange circus as I struggle to get away from rue Ste-Catherine as I walk from west to east. Single-file walking makes me fume, BUT I respect the city's need to fix its streets and do renovations. And I do love rue Ste-Catherine still.💕
Montreal has a unique architecture ( 400 years )at Square St -Louis and the plateau .... Mount Royal avenue is pedestrian only .... Montreal has 10 major streets pedestrian only
Thanks for the added info 👍🏾
Où se trouve l'Université du Québec à Montréal dans la ville?
À côté de Mont Royal. Il ya une entrée sur Avenue Decelles, mais il ya plusieurs campus.
@@travels_wrightÇa c’est l’université de Montréal!
Au métro Berri-UQAM, d’où l’acronyme!
Ouiii! Je m’excuse. J’ai trompé les deux universités😬
Where’s a good mid priced hotel?
That’s actually a very good question. Like all hotels it really goes by season some periods will be higher than others. Most hotels in the downtown and old port region will be a little more pricy to stay at. So if your goal is to save money, AIr bnb could be a great option. I did a full review of the Honeyrose Hotel. Very nice place to stay. You can check out the video here to see if this would be a good hotel for you👍🏾:

I think I'm going to Quebec City first... But, I'm not interested in a lot of touristy merde.
I did another video on Charlevoix Quebec. Supper nice rural area with nice scenery. Can definitely make that trip if you are headed to Quebec City 👍🏾 VIDEO LINK: Things to do In beautiful Charlevoix Quebec. Travel Tour guide

Not sure I understand..
Montreal is overrated, and English is not considered an official language.
2 questions 😅. In your opinion, why is Montreal overrated and how does the province’s official language play a role in the overall experience you will have in the city?
It's a gorgeous walkable city..... I'm here right now. And I can tell you, I'm absolutely functioning alright, not being able to speak French.
Montrealers are very welcoming and they help me out!
@AhhhSukeSuke Absolutely ! Within Montreal you will always be able to find bilingual people. Especially in the downtown sector. The know it’s the season for tourist as well so they will try to accommodate. Hope you’re having a good time so far ✌🏽
Cheap shot from someone who has probably nrvet put his foot in the city...
Thanks!
Thank you, so much ! I hope you have gotten value from this content. I’ll definitely use this to put out more videos you can enjoy. Hope you have an amazing day !
