Dan as you have matured in the past few years your quality of videos has become also really good. This particular guide was really informative especially on your bike. I’m really impressed with you. Keep,up the great work, it’s most appreciated. By the way I moved back to Montreal 6 months ago after 33 years in Vancouver so,I can relate to much of what you say.😊 and the whole point of you having this youtube outlet is to document life speaking English in a predominantly French place. So,sir I salute you.
I’m moving here next week, Have been watching your video from 4 years ago and looking forward to my new expedition in the city , Thank you Dan for being such an ambassador for MTL 😊
Faut apprendre le français si tu vas vivre à mtl. Je sais que les anglophones refusent de parler français et méprisent tout ce qui est québécois parce qu'ils se pensent supérieurs mais si tu vis à Montréal faut faire un effort pour s’intégrer, normalement c’est pas aux locaux de s’adapter aux étrangers, même si à montréal c’est souvent comment ça
0:48 I totally agree with that list, especially #6 in winter 🥶😎 Last summer I climbed the Mont Royal at 5 am (to see the sunrise at 5:30). It was magic! ✨🌄
Have been following you since Covid and love your travelling videos. I am actually visiting Montreal next week for the second time, since a really good friend of mine lives there and this got me hyped up so much to see the city again! Much love from Germany
Always enjoy your videos on Montreal. I am in Montreal now for a holiday! My second visit after last year, which was supposed to be just one trip. Visited Jean Talon today and walked all morning through Mile End, Plateau etc! Looking forward to discovering new areas of Montreal in coming days!!
19:24-19:33 Riding by the Lachine Canal was always a favourite activity of mine to do as a local, and it offers some of the nicest views of the city imo. I just remember a few years back at this timestamp there didn't use to be condos there and you would have some of the best, close-up unobstructed views of downtown from there. It makes me a bit sad that that view is gone now (and there's a lot more people in the area now too when it used to feel more like a hidden gem of the city), but it's still a great route that I enjoy :)
Beautiful. Really enjoyed this video! We arrive in Montreal tomorrow evening. Michiganders here. Thank you for the recommendations. My husband has a foot that is a pain in the butt. I think bicycle riding is a perfect idea. Thank you!
I would do research on that old restaurant you first went in. I believe it may have been in the movie. "The apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz ". I wouldn't call that a lake in Parc LA Fontane , I would say a pond. Lol In 1968 the engineering students from McGill University, mathematically figured out the light system on the cross on Mount Royal. So when it lit up at night the lights would show a ? Mark instead of the cross. Mount Royal and Central Park NYC are the same landscape designer. . Mount Royal has an even more country feeling in the middle of the city than Stanley Park or central park.
Love the video! I'd also add that montreal is filled with so many beautiful landmarks, and especially beautiful European styled churches. There is the notre dame basilica of montreal, saint patrick basilica(these two are found in downtown, and are close to eachother), and the saint joseph oratory.
Love this video, family trip next week to Montreal..., told my kids to pick the top 5 from your list and we'll head there !! Well done on the best YT vid on Montreal i have seen in my research...Shame your buddies at Gotrax don't rent their bikes, they were best looking e-bikes i have seen...I have three in Vancouver....twice the price and half as nice !! as they say...
It's not in this video, but Montréal also has a beautiful Botanical Garden and a biodôme next to each other - the Biodôme is a must-go for my daughter, the botanical garden is a must-go for me. If you have young kids, the Biodôme is specially worth it. I live a couple of hours away from Montréal and hold the annual pass for both (it's the same pass, and it also includes the planetarium and some other stuff).
With regards to locking your bike at the first stop, you may know this already but that is a low-security lockup attaching only the wheel to the rack. Acceptable for short stops, mostly only if you can still see your bike most of the time. However, a thief could easily detach the wheel (especially if it is a ‘quick release’ latch. What you might come back to find is your U-lock attached to only the wheel after they take the frame and everything else. If you HAVE to use this style of rack that doesnt allow for locking of the frame, use a cable lock attached to the U Lock, and wrap that part around your frame. The most efficient and effective way to lock a bike in a city is to slide the ULock around the frame and attack directly to a street sign or bike rack. Not all racks allow this though, and it would be good to see cities phasing out the style that forces you to lock only your wheel because theyre so close to the ground.
I have been living in Toronto for 35 years, one of those years I lived in Montreal because of a lady .. Nothing compares to Montreal specially during the summer.
We had a great time in Montreal and Quebec! Your info was very helpful. I did learn a couple of useful things I might add: 747 bus to the airport from same location is around the corner from the drop off. Literally same grounds (directly across from the main doors). Also, if you are staying at an airport hotel the pick up location is literally up one floor from the 747 bus. Also, if it is a holiday the IGA grocery is probably going to be closed.
Sorry. Spellcheck went rogue!! Love my Montreal bagels! I almost moved to Montreal in 1992!! Ended up marrying in my undergrad and having 3 amazing kids so I’m happy!! 2 kids are at McGill! 1 at U of T!! Your videos are the very best Dan!! I love the bar/restaurant mentioned!! Be well!!
That home was not Leonard Cohen's childhood home. It was a home he had from the 1970s until his death. His childhood home is in Westmount. It's still there
Montreal ranks among the top biking cities in the world ( Global biking index) with more than 1,000 km of biking infrastructures . You can bike in the middle of the ST-Lawrence river ( from Park Jean Drapeau to the city of Ste-Catherines ). Biking on the F! Canada Grand prix race track on Notre -Dame Island ( parc Jean-Drapeau) is free and amazing . Montreal is unique in North america with 400 years of history , architecture and culture .
One thing I would have added, is once you're in Verdun, continue west on the riverfront bike path into LaSalle and the Lachine Rapids (somewhat mis-named since they are in LaSalle). It's not quite as open as it used to be since that spot was established as a bird sanctuary, but it's still nice to get up close to the rapids. There are a couple of natural permanent waves that people like to take their surfboards on. Also you could jetboat or raft the rapids from the old port. Also, I don't think the "can't be taller than the mountain" zoning rule is enforced as it was. In the 90s a couple of towers (IBM & Lavalin) got exceptions to be a decent bit taller than the tallest prior building. It may be just that builders have to get exceptions passed through city hall, or maybe the zoning is different - that I'm not sure about.
Canals are associated to Amsterdam while there is no canal in Vancouver water front but the narrow fraser river and the Strait of Georgia just south of the city . Montreal ranks among the world best biking cities ( Global biking index) with more than 1,000 km of biking infrastructure . Biking on the F1 Canada Grand prix is free on Notre-Dame Island , Jean Drapeau park and more than 30 km in the middle of the St-Lawrence river to the city of Ste-Catherines.
I spent most of that time riding bixi lol, still adapting to bike ownership. It also felt safe briefly parking outside jean talon in the middle of the day. That being said maybe I was naive
@@TheNewTravel Even if you lock your bike to a pole, you have to check that the pole cannot be removed easily (as once happened to me, when I came back my bike was gone and the pole was lying on the ground).
@@TheNewTravel - I live in Villeray just a 7 min walk from Jean Talon and after moving here, in the past 4 weeks I've had my bicycle stolen (fully locked up to a bike rack), and had my work van broken into and stuff stolen from in it. Be extra cautious with your bike and get a good bike lock that goes right through the frame!
Have yous visited the old longueuil i use to live there two years and it's charming above all at night with the orange lights houses are beautiful and the atmosphere is very special, i was in the rue guilbault, i would love to see it in a video
Having had apartments along St-Denis all my life (at metros Laurier, Sherbrooke, Mont-Royal, Sherbrooke again, Berri, Laurier again, Beaubien, Rosemont, then Jean-Talon (Montrealers move every other year or so), I consider it my home.
As a fellow Montrealer, I believe you did justice to the city's travel guide! Yet I suggest you learn how to lock a bike properly. Do not simply hook your u-lock to the spokes of your front wheel to a bike rack. Lock the front wheel which is more solid. Even better, lock the front wheel and frame to the bike rack with your u-lock. MTL is known for bike theft!
As usual, you do a good job in terms of both videography and site selection. All that remains is for you to improve your pronunciation of streets/locations etc. I have confidence in your abilities, but you seem to have stagnated in the last little while. Be well and stay safe
It's very good. Occasionally in the summer you'll get some smoke from faraway fires as we have a lot of forests in Canada. But generally it's very clean air.
Montreal is the most sustainable city in North america with 100 % green energy with the largest urban parks in Canada ( 1,300 parks , 21 major parks ) . Montreal builds with nature and unique in North america with more than 600 roof tops green house with urban farms managed by AI . The entire island ( 10 times the size of MAnhattan ) is covered with trees .
@@TheNewTravel In fact , you mention driving in MTL being the last thing one wants to do... Seing motorists destroy their engines while trying to beat 3' of water ... Sound advice !
You should visit Stereo in Montreal, They have the best soundsystem in the world. And you have to arrive at 4am. I recommend you , Dvs1, Markus schulz or Danny Tenaglia
Lafontaine ( parc )was the co-prime ministers of the united Province of Canada, Sir Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine. Jean Drapeau (parc )was the mayor of Montreal . In order to increase your knowledge about the city , you should visit Pointe a Calliere museum and the free museum at Place D'Youville .. You should also learn about the burning down of the parliament of Canada in Montreal by more than 2,000 anglophones tories ( conservatives ) following the adoption of the Rebellion bill to pay backfor french canadians following the desstruction of their houses by anglophones living in Montreal .
Montreal is SUCH an AMAZING city….excellent, quality health care, low taxes, incredibly helpful and always extremely welcoming and professional service workers, cheapest rent in Canada, happy, friendly québécois who are super laid back and LOVE anglophones. And working in Montreal is SUCH a paradise, with extremely high salaries, fair workplace practices, incredibly open and inclusive québécois management and coworkers, who even LOVE people who speak French from France and all the other francophone countries around the world. Nooooo, it’s not true that québécois only love their own dialects of québécois French, they are just so gosh darn accepting of ALL francophone nations. And the streets are so beautifully paved and spotlessly clean, never any construction work needed. Who needs Paris, New York , London, when you have perfect and never-anything -bad-happens in Montreal? Yes, come, come to Montreal, where all of your dreams will come true! (RUclipsrs aren’t the only ones who can spread propaganda about this city) 👎🏼
I've been to Paris, NY, and London. Each big city has its own set of problems. You just choose the ones you are happy to live with. I'm happy with Montreal.
MTL is so beautiful. If legally allowed, the remote US workers from NYC/Boston would move to MTL. So they keep the US job but pay less in rent while enjoying the metro living life to the fullest. Not being crowded is a huge plus.
He's not that bad. He cam make his point most of the time. Plus, he lives in a bilingual city where I presume people will talk to him in English a lot.
Pourquoi traduire en anglais les noms de lieux, tels "Jean-Talon Market", "Mount Royal Avenue", etc. ? C'est une façon de dénaturer l'esprit français dont Montréal s’enorgueillit et aimerait maintenir, seule métropole française en Amérique du Nord, même si on comprend que tu veux vendre la ville aux touristes ou aux éventuels résidents anglophones.
Montreal c'est une belle ville mais je sais pas quoi dire. Le système comment ça fonctionne c'est un système très divisé. Sinon y'a trop de collocations que le fait de louer ça à quelqu'un c'est se "foutre de sa gueule",y'en a qui connaissent pas (moi je loue pas de collocations) et qui les louent en tout cas c'est ce qui fait beaucoup de gens... , exemples... à suivre anormaux en réalité.
Great video... Your love for Montréal and French culture is obvious, but now, for the next step, I hope some day you will say "Vive le Québec libre" when the next referendum will be happening.

Why state the country after Montréal ? How many Montréal are there in the world ? Sounds like "Paris France "
There is a Paris, Texas.
Tourists from other countries often search city name + country name. Since this is aimed at tourists it helps discoverability
Well, there's actually a small town called Montréal in France.
Last year I was in Sicily and went to a mountain town called Monreale.
Lafontaine ( parc )was the co-prime ministers of the united Province of Canada, Sir Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine. Jean Drapeau (parc )was the mayor of Montreal .
