What is Montreal

Montreal (French: Montréal) is the cultural capital of Quebec and the main entry point to the province. The second largest city in Canada, it is a city rich in culture and history, has an inordinate number of attractive, fashionably dressed people, and a well-deserved reputation as one of the liveliest cities in North America. Montreal is home to the second-largest Francophone (that is, French-speaking) population in the western world, with Paris being the largest.

"You can cross over to the South Shore either on the Jacques Cartier bridge, Ile Notre Dame, or via the Estacade ice bridge from Nun's Island."

"When Jacques Cartier first 'discovered' the island in 1535, it was already inhabited – the Iroquois village of Hochelaga stood at the foot of Mount Royal."

"They found none of them but that didn't deter explorer Jacques Cartier, who made the first claim on the area surrounding the St Lawrence River for France in 1534."

"Jacques Cartier was the first European to set foot on the island of Montreal, but it wasn't until 1642 that a permanent European settlement was established and 'the mountain' was named Mont Royal, from which the city probably took its name."

"Jacques Cartier sailed up the broad St. Lawrence River, past the spot that would become Québec City under Champlain, to what was then a large island with a fortified Iroquois village composed of 50 longhouses, called Hochelaga."

"Jacques Cartier became the first European to reach the area now known as Montreal in 1534 when he entered the village of Hochelega on the Island of Montreal while in search of a passage to Asia during the Age of Exploration."

Absolutely the best city in North America. Bars and churches right next to each other and great parties. Very much European than other cities in NA. We had some really cool parties here!

If traveling on a budget, the hostels are very nice and extremely cheap! I highly recommend taking this road trip if you are from the north- east coast of the states and want to experience a little culture!

Montreal city hall was once the biggest building in the whole British empire and is still quite a magnificent construction. If you're into old architecture check it out.

A very beautiful park right in the middle of Montreal. Ideal for a picnic or a walk.
