Welcome to Montreal, Quebec! In this week's video we're helping you plan one day (24 hours) in Montreal!
We start things off in the historic Old Montreal. We walk around and explore the old cobblestone streets, the main square (Place Jacques-Cartier) and beautiful buildings. We also head down to the Old Port of Montreal which seems to be somewhat newly developed with a ferris wheel, lots of water activities and vendors. We stop at one food truck called Felix and Norton for a cookie. After this we take a walk by Notre-Dame Basilica (temporarily closed) and grab a coffee at one of our favourite coffee shops called Tommy.
After exploring Old Montreal we head to the downtown Montreal shopping street called Rue Ste-Catherine. We stop in front of a St. James United Church where there is a beach in front of the church along with some lounge chairs.
We then make our way to the base of Mont-Royal where to climb the 400 Peel Street Steps to the top of the hill to take in the incredible view of the city.
We pick things up the next day in the Plateau neighbourhood of Montreal (where we were staying). We walk around Avenue Mont-Royal and grab a breakfast sandwich from St. Viateur Bagels.

So nice good to watching
i do too .i miss living there
Last time I was in Montreal (vs driving through it) Michael Schumacher still drove for Ferrari. Was there for an F1 race weekend...pretty much spend the days hammered at the track and partying at night and hungover in the morning. Good times!
Sounds like that was a great trip Rui! - Trevor
The old town looks so walkable and lively! Almost like a "Little Europe" in North America!
It's so like a 'little Europe' indeed. That's probably why we like it so much 🤗 - Anna
Quebec city !
have you guys been to Quebec City? that is my favourite City in Canada, literally in the old town you could be walking around Paris, Le Lapin restaurant i highly recommend along with a walk up to the Frontenac
There 3 buses which landed you to the town of the Mount Royal , 11 all year round, 711 during week-end and summer and 165 a bit further but throught a nice stroll along the park .
Still enjoying our heat? Better get back, Henri wasn't so bad and NS' draw bridge 🌉 is going back up! We updated our windows ourselves, yup, even put one inside down at 110 cm! Much love Josée 🎠😁😘
You are the nicest and smart couple on youtube ... keep smiling and thanks for the video
I love Montreal❤
Welcome back to the road, and Bienvenue a Montreal. It is one of my favorite cities in the world! It has everything you want in a great city, except it could use a major climate upgrade. It's Metro and Bixi bike system & rentals make getting around convenient. I love the French ambience, language and culture, and for an architecture-lover, it is heaven!. Vieux Port and Vieux Montreal are wonderful, and there are new undiscovered cafes down many alleys. I suppose it was nice for you, but it is kind of sad to see Place Jacques Cartier and Bon Secours Market so empty on a warm August day. Some of those attractions in the Vieux Port must be new, as I did not know them. You mentioned that Beach by the St James Church, and there is a nice beach right on Riviere St Laurent called Clock Tower Beach. Plateau and Mile End are great neighborhoods, but I try to add 1 or 2 new neighborhoods each visit. Montreal is built to scale, as only highrises downtown,, unlike Toronto and Vancouver (West End especially) which have gone crazy with cubbyhole condos built to the sky. I love all the culture, the street buskers (after all, Montreal is home to Cirque du Soleil), the light shows at night, and all the great festivals - jazz, film, comedy, etc. Montreal is the NYC of Canada, so you can visit 20 times and experience something different every time. You got the sesame bagel, and I have been told that due to the volume sold, it is the best one to get because it is always super fresh and warm. I give a slight edge to St Viateur, but both are great. BasiIique Notre Dame is not the biggest cathedral in the world, but one of the most beautiful. The back-lit blue hues make you feel you have arrived in heaven (and I am not even Catholic). Magnifique! It is where Celine Dion got married years ago. Wrong season, but hockey in Montreal is a religion. Have you ever done the LaChine Rapides? It is really fun! Good to see you back and past all the Covid Cult stuff. I pretty much gave up on Canada, and their ridiculous tyranny - along with Australia, NZ and US blue states. The scam will be revealed in due time. I have a couple of friends in Montreal - both bi-lingual, but one a native and the other a transplant from Winnipeg via Vancouver.. they say the Quebecois are rebels at heart, so did not really go in big on the mask charade, and social distancing is unknown to these very friendly people. Always love viewing Montreal thru different eyes. Mont Royal is also great for sunrise, but there are better places for sunset, given the Ile du Montreal's position vis-a-vis the sun. There is a neat skating rink in winter on Beaver Pond - partway up.the hill. The coffee is so great that I try to add a new spot each time. 49th Parallel, a great shop in Vancouver, with a killer view, is now in Montreal - though no English Bay view. However, an old home base of Banque du Montreal has been turned into a magnificent coffee shop. I do hope the city gets another baseball team - just not playing in the cavernous Big "O". I do love the Biodome next door, which was the Velodrome in the 1976 Olympics, and I saw that event there, and a few others. It is just an incredible city, so glad you love it as well!
Awww - Montreal ... love it! I have been there 3 times and all memorable visits.
Thank you for taking me back.
You can never go wrong with visiting this amazing city Aida 😀 - Trevor
Very nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.
What a gorgeous city. I’ve always thought it looked lovely when I see it on the F1 race. Definitely on the list to travel to. Great video and we look forward to checking out more of your videos. Sending best wishes from Wales x
I miss Montreal so much... thanks for sharing your adventures through this beautiful city
We so missed this city too Leila 😀 It's good to be back here - Trevor
Have fun! You have great weather. Better than being caught in the tropical storm!
We hooked such a great week for weather indeed Emily 😀- Trevor
O M G that bagel !!!
Montreal looks like such a cool city! I really liked that view from the lookout. Definitely worth the steep climb up 😀
It's neat that you can see the mont from wherever you are in the city as well 🤗 - Anna
looks like a beautiful city! thanks for taking us along!!
You'd really like this city Taki. So many great things to do! 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers for sure! i have 3 weeks before my trip to Greece....maybe some You Tubers I know will be in country at the same time???? :)
Montreal looks so cool! I love it, I am always sad when your videos end. That is a good sign of a good video!
We so appreciate that Diana! Lots more to come - Trevor
Love you two! Great tour through the city 😍
Thank you so much! 🥰 - Anna
Another great video as always!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Janice 🤗 - Anna
Oh my, what a magnificent city! Maybe the cookie van should be at the top of those steps for extra incentive! Loved the colourful flowers in the streets. Great filming and info as always, thanks guys 👍😍
haha now that's a great idea 😅 I believe there are some vendors up there every now and then - Trevor
Fun looking city! Thanks
It's so much fun. Put it on your list if you haven't been 😀 - Anna
Very nice lovely video good to watching
Thank you very much! 🤗 - Anna
Walked those stairs to the top of Mont Royal many times and am always exhausted after the climb. Great video.
Phew... that was harder than we thought it would be haha 🙈 - Anna
Coming to Montreal for a few days - thnks for sharing :)
I was here two weeks ago!!! Good I covered this place in my life.
You are definitely making me want to visit Montreal!
You should! What a great city - Trevor
Awesome video! we were just there too!
Another Awesome Video :) Trevor and Anna
We're so glad you liked it Robert! 😀 - Trevor
I have never been to Montreal but maybe some day that breakfest bagel looks so so yummy . Hope you guys are enjoying your trip
It's worth the trip just for the bagels alone Corrine - Trevor
I loved montreal. Never gonna be able to go back. :( They had very yummy food.
Beautiful
You'd luv it here Vera I'm sure 🤗 - Anna
God bless you
and your family
🤗
Wow! This is not the Montreal I remember! What a beautiful city! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
It has changed a lot over the last few years it seems. It's easily still one of our favs 😀 - Trevor
do St.Viateur sell the garnished bagel? or did you add the egg and salads yourselves?
Let's hope Delta doesn’t get a grip due to the lax attitude to covid. Thanks for the video, Montreal looks great.
Vaccination rates are very high in Quebec so that's a good thing! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers They're very high in the UK yet the because of the Delta variant the numbers of infected have gone up. Stay safe you two 😊
Thanks for doing more of the less touristy locations for food. I'm going to Montreal next week and was going to go to Schwartz, but will do Lester's instead based on your recommendation in your previous video.
Luv hearing that Bob... Lester's is so so good. All of the places we stopped in at were - Anna
Bravo on that upward stair hike - my eventual crawling on hands and knees would’ve ended with me collapsing face down while gasping for air. 😅To my understanding, Atlantic Canada has implemented strict restrictions throughout the pandemic; I can’t speak for the whole of Ontario, but it seems for Toronto and the GTA it’s a mixed bag when it comes to the level of caution among different people, at least during more recent times. From your fantastic video, Montréal seems to be a beautiful city of contemporary taste but with an old-world charm. Très bien!
haha we may have climbed the last few on our hands and knees 😅 Thanks for watching as always Colleen - Trevor
Was away on vacation. Just catching up. Love Montreal. Thanks for sharing.😎
Hope you had a great vacay Eleanor 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Thanks. It was great. Felt free.😎
I hope to vacation in Canada oneday. Oneday. Thanks for sharing this video. Montreal looks like a great city. I want to go to Toronto too.
hi guys, i sure love all the Montreal you have see. i sure love my own city.........................Namaste
Us too! It's great to be back in one of our favs 🤗 - Anna
Love this video. Finally got to see it, and totally agree that the average Montrealler takes social distancing less serious than other parts of Canada. My aunt and uncle were in shock when they visited from Ontario! Was super cool meeting you both for beers when you visited, until next time... 😎🍻
It was great to meet up with you as well in Montreal 😀 We already can't wait to come back for a visit - Trevor
I love Montreal and enjoyed watching this. I was last in Montreal in October 2018. It is a nice trip by train from Toronto. In addition to Old Montreal, I really enjoyed my visits to the markets around town and the light show at the Botanical Gardens.
The Gardens are so nice... we've been in the past but not this time around. The markets look great! - Anna
I was planning on climbing to the top of Mont Royal in October, but if you guys are out of breath, I’ll never make it. I think I’ll take the bus up and walk down. I’ve been to the Old Port twice this summer and I have not seen Felix and Norton cookies. I must go back and hunt them down. 😂
I live here and have gone up the stairs numerous times. There is no hurry. You can take breaks;-)
@@evabon3255 That comment is from 2 yrs ago. I've climbed up twice and down several times since including 6 weeks ago. And yes. I took breaks. :)
Great video. Is the cross on top of Mount Royal still there? It had lights on it at night and you could see it from quite far away. The city looked more beautiful than I remember but it's been 15 years or so since I've wandered around downtown. Felix and Norton, I had forgotten about those cookies. They are yummy.
Yes it's still right where it always is 😀 The cookies were 👌 - Trevor
Hmm, how old are you.
I saw that today and it was different!
What time of year was this video done? Great fun watching you guys....love hearing your food favorites too
July! Thanks for watching :)
congratulations on making up that hill in that heat!! phew! I was tired on your behalf.
Honestly we were completely wiped when we finally got there. So worth it though! 😀 - Trevor
Montreal is an amazing town, And there's no shortage of amazing towns to visit. Im excited to visit Schwartz deli, Do their dripping sandwiches taste good? 😍
Those bagels look heavenly... 😅
Loved the vid guys, everything from the gorgeous view at Mont Royal to the iced coffees at Tommy's. Being an English speaker from Ontario only knowing "un peu de francais", is it best to "try" to order food in French, or do Quebecers prefer us Anglophones to just speak English without butchering the French language. Lol, just curious! Fyi, no social distancing in T.O either... Here where I live in small town Woodstock, ON. Yes!
Interesting you ask that Sue (trying to speak en français). You certainly don't need to speak French in this city but they still do appreciate it if you can of course 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers « definitely dont need French in Montreal??? ». C’mon, your acting like privileged Canadian boys.
At least do the effort of speaking French to Quebecers.
I thought English Canadians would know basic French!!!
I rarely took a cab in Montreal. They’re not that easy to get and take forever...you’re better off grabbing the metro.
We usually take the metro but decided against it with covid and all - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers I didn't take it at all last year, but got the courage this summer and it was fine (I'm high risk, but vaccinated!) People are masked. I always walk to the end of the platform so there are less people.
French explorer Jacques Cartier left behind his first European settlement on Montreal island in 1535, long before it was called Ville Marie. We had a European settlement before any other city in North America.
Great video! First it's more like Montréal (with an accent) Québec...not Canada ;) ...and our only common language is French in Québec. Merci!
OSM 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤗
classical Montreal bagel is cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon). It's not a hill. mount is mountain
On social distancing here in England we are rapidly dropping the use of masks and distancing especially after the legal restrictions were removed. Yesterday we had 32k new cases but the hospitalisation and death rate is now low due to the high vaccination rate. So we return to normal and save the economy.
Vaccines FTW! - Trevor
Mount Royal is kind of an European vibe in the middle of North America... Nice video... Aren't bikes or ebikes available for rent?
It really is that's for sure Anoop. Thanks for watching - Trevor
It is not Mount Royal , this is the hill in the middle of Montréal
❤️
🤗
How is Montreal if you drive there and have your own car or rent a car? Is there good parking and easy to get around in?
We didn't have a car on our trip so we can't quite answer that - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers thank you.
I wouldnt recommend driving in Montreal unless your very experienced
I have rented a car in Montreal many times. Learn French traffic signs, and no right turn on red light in the city.
The city must have relaxed their food trucks laws. They were illegal for the longest time
Oh we didn't know that... there's quite a few of them around - Trevor
It’s potholes and parking fees are to die for….lol folks if you are coming to Montreal just to eat ask yourself why?
I heard a bus goes up to the top
Where did you stay?
I'm the first, lol
Darn - I had to let the dog out.....lol.
🥇
Hi. Wish you’d change those awful sunglasses!😀. Why do videos always show food? I want to see Montreal- food is found everywhere! I’ll keep looking for a channel that shows more of Montreal. Sorry guys. Good luck
5:38 you sure that is an americano? I see milk!
Iced americano with a shot of cream - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers ah ok, so not an americano
Some people often ask me ‘can you add milk to an Americano’ and I say why not! It’s perfectly fine to ask for a little milk to add to your Americano and don’t worry about being looked down upon by the barista or coffee snobs.
I don’t like that way you munched the cookie
You cannot compare Montreal to any other city in North america. Montreal is 400 years old canadian capital of culture, architecture, food , creativity, best quality of life, the biggest and oldest museum, bult on an island 10 times bigger than Manhathan . The greater Toronto includes cities so far away from downtown ( 50 km ) just to make it the most populous but not the better place to live . Toronto has no identity, a car culture like any USA cities and it is not a wakable and rich historical city. People from Toronto come to Montreal for night life and beautiful people and food.
I hope the vaccination rates are high. I remembered the first time I was in Montreal with my family, and it was such a great city! If COVID wasn't a thing, I'd imagine the city to be bustling with life. Hopefully, the restrictions won't last long if they maintain the pace of vaccinations. 😊
90% of Quebecers are vaccinated two to three times. Quebecers had to submit to very severe restrictions, including curfews, closure of restaurants, bars, schools, universities, vaccine passport, etc.
Sunbaiting on a church... wut? 😳😅
