Top Reasons to Go to Montreal

Browse Public Markets: Marché Atwater, one of the city's oldest public markets, and the bustling Marché Jean-Talon, in Little Italy, are two places to dedicate extra time to see.

Check Out the Nightlife: There's a strong history of late-night revelry in this city. Top spots include rue Crescent and rue St-Denis, as well as Old Montréal and the Village, the center of Montréal's gay community.

Get a Dose of Multiculturalism: Montréal is a melting pot of world culture, yours to experience by exploring ethnic neighborhoods and sampling a range of cuisine.

Celebrate Jazz Fest: Montréal's biggest party happens every July—and if jazz is your thing it's not to be missed. Hotels book up nearly a year in advance, so reserve early.

Stroll Old Montréal: Old Montréal has it all—cobblestone streets, a great waterfront, fine restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts, and the Old Port, which buzzes with nightlife.
