Montréal – a charming metropolis

Montréal, the largest city in the province of Quebec, is one of the most liveable cities in North America. It is also an important economic and cultural centre in Canada. Located largely on the Île de Montréal peninsula, more than three-quarters of the city is surrounded by water. This cosmopolitan, bilingual metropolis's cityscape combines historic and modern architecture. The city is strongly influenced by its French heritage, which is reflected in its diverse, French-inspired culinary scene. Montréal also offers a diverse cultural and nightlife scene, as well as a lively festival culture. Its warm summers and magnificent Indian summers make it an attractive destination for travellers from the capital region and beyond.
