Great video! We live in Ottawa Canada, so Montreal is quite close to visit, and we love both Montreal and Quebec City for their European charm, the fabulous food and the history! If you can learn a few phrases in French, it’s even better. Lots to see and do, and always fun. Highly recommend them both! Thanks for taking us along with you.

Love Montreal. My favourite city in Canada from what I have explored. The French influence permeates in a great way - especially the art, food and music. The Botanic Gardens there are fantastic - its big with great vistas very cleverly landscaped together to provide beautiful expose of many different horticultural themes across the world - Japanese - Chinese - First Nations a few of them. They have some special exhibitions in the summertime so I would check that out. Then the green space is spectacular in many places and getting around via the Metro a breeze. Great place - will definitely be back. That Van Gogh immersion show looks great and I would definitely explore things like this which are pretty regular events in this artsy city. Thank You for the stimulating reminder of this wonderful city.

Had to laugh at your "help me!" smile climbing the Mt Royal stairs! I lived in Montreal for 20 yearsand ony did that hike the once.

Speaking as someone who has lived in the city and goes back frequently to visit, I would stay away from the touristy sites if you want to get the best experience. My favourite places are Marche Jean Talon (Ryad for Turkish Pastries), Boulangerie Le Pain dans le Voiles, Boulangerie Hof Kelsten, Boulangerie Kouign Amann, Patati Patata, Cafe Saigon, Square St. Louis. (Clearly I visit to eat lol). I'm always content to just grab a Bixi and see the city by bike since it's very cyclable and the green space is so beautiful.

Thanks for taking us along. I wouldn't have visited Montreal, but now I'm interested

Hi Alina! Thanks for taking me back to my birthplace and hometown, Montréal! I don't get home often enough, so it's a nice treat to visit very familiar places from afar. You need to spend more time here, Alina. Highpoints during the summer include the 'Festival International de Jazz'; 'Just For Laughs (the Montréal Comedy Festival); and the Montréal Grand Prix F1 auto race. There's always so much to do and see here!

I will go there, what a nice place. I hope i can relax there all day.

Love this city....!!! A holiday to Canada has been on my mind since I was a teenager. Canada is definitely the right sort of place to dream about. Sometimes I imagined the amazing sights that Canada has to offer. Fast forward quite a few years, and Canada is still on my radar to visit one day.

Poutine, Quebec's gift of culinary art. *Embarassed* ...and I'm from Montreal.

Hello Alina McLeod, just watch your video of Montréal City, QC Canada to see your point of view and where you've been going. I was born in Brossard (South shore of Montreal) and lives in Pierrefonds since 2016 (Montreal Island). So I loves to watch people from Canada, USA, Europe, etc... to see what they like or don't. 1st) Yes, bagel St-Viateur is one of the best for bagel, you've done a great pick. 2nd) Schwartz is often full, it is a classic place to go and nice pick with Smoked meat poutine :) 3rd) Great idea to go on the area of Mont-Royal (nice places to go & restaurants) and of course the Old Montreal / Old Port for tourist even for Montrealers. 4th) If you come back in few years, I can, if you want made some restaurants suggestions and places to go to help you better. Also as a bonus comment, I might said to you that your black sunglasses is really great on you and facial expression too. I just saw that you also have a video of Quebec City, QC Canada, so I will see it after and do the same thing (but shorter then this one) :) Enjoy Alina and have a wonderful day.

Hi, I'm a first time viewer (I think) and this video was great. You did a masterful job taking us along with you so thanks for that. Do you speak and/or read French?

First time seeing your video keep up the good work and yes Montreal is beautiful

I have been to Montreal many times, because I have been living in Canada (mostly in Toronto), since 1975. My favourite spot in Montreal is the restaurant Reuben's, at 888 rue St. Catherine. They serve smoked meat. Greetings from Toronto, Alex

Great video!! I really need to get to both Montreal and Quebec City.. I've only ever been to YUL 🙃

I enjoyed the Rue de Catherine which is the city’s main shopping drag and you’ll find among other stores, Hudson’s Bay there and just below the street is the famous underground city where people go to escape bad weather, during the summer and the long cold winter. Two things about Montreal deserve mention: you’ll see the stadium where the 1976 Summer Olympics was opened, memorable for Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci receiving the first perfect 10 scores in the history of the sport and the Habitat from the Expo ‘67 designed by the Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. In closing, the best eatery I’ve ever been to near the English medium university McGill, now sadly closed, was the fresh food market Marche Movenpick. Some of the best food, served buffet style, I’ve ever had in my life.

Yes 1976 what a time to be in Montreal. We drove up from Philadelphia and had tickets to the gymnastics. We tried to trade the gym tickets for the track and field, but no one would trade with us. Well, that turned out better than we ever could imagine, as we ended up at The Forum, and witnessed the first perfect 10 score by the great Nadia Comaneci (who I had never heard of). Also, we were huge hockey fans, and I was in awe of The Forum in Montreal, where Atwater meets Saint Catherine as we in Philly would say. Also, the Canadiens, had just beaten my beloved Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final, preventing us from win our 3rd straight Stanley Cup. We had some good-natured fun talking with the Canadiens fans, as they would rub it in. My comeback would be, at least The Flyers beat The Red Army, where the Canadiens only tied them. I fell in love with your great city!

Montreal is so amazing! I think only Brooklyn, where i have lived is similar in both diversity and cultural authenticity. I worry that the government in Canada is destroying the country and pray the intelligent people of that beautiful land make it stop!

Thank you for making a video about my town!! It makes me so happy when I see my favourite youtubers visit Montreal - I always end up discovering places I didn't even heard of.

Are you going to go Saquenay/Chicoutimi? Or further downstream St Lawrence to Sept Iles or Baie Comeau? I always wanted see those places.

Ma Poule Mouillée for poutine.. I always hit it up when I'm in town!

Alina, Hope you are doing well. Montreal is a city that we've had many great memories. It's a place we keep going back to. Best Seasons are Summer and Fall for the Festivals i.e. Just for Laughs Comedy Festival , The Jazz Festival , The World film Festival are about a few. So many more to attend including a Japanese Festival. And Alina, we agree with you about Smoked Meat and Bagels . The best in the world. There's nothing like it. Poutine is better in Montreal . Here ia a question ? St. Viateur or The Fairmount for Bagels ? Sending you much love from Richmond, Va. 💕💕💕 Harriet, Jim and Yuki

Weather in Montréal and Québec City differ, as Québec City is situated more north. In Québec City ( where I live ) we go almost every day from a full sunny sky to darkness in 10 minutes time. Sun sets happend almost instantly, and the temperature drops immediatly 4 degrees celcius in summer time or in winter time, no discrimination...

Nice video! I am from Montreal, and there are so many nice places it is hard to see it all just visiting. I prefer Fairmount Bagels, also in the Plateau over St. Viator, but you can't sit down and eat at Fairmount, too small, you get your bagels and go out. I was a hard core Schwartz's eater but there is another smoked meat old gem of a restaurant called Snowdon Deli. Not as old as Schwartz's, it opened in 1946, but delicious smoked meat with more elbow room, as it is a bigger restaurant.

Going there next month!!!

when u visited Calgary i used to live in Edmonton.. then i moved last march to live in Montreal.. are u following me Girl ?! lol i wish u came few weeks ago to Montreal there was Formula 1, mural festival and Franco and salsa festivals but dont worry there is jazz festival next week.. and many more .. i am in downtown everyday i hope i can see u and say Hi .. i love ur videos

Great travel videos!! If you venture to the Ottawa area (I used to live in Ottawa), I recommend going to the Gatineau Park look-out near to Hull, Quebec. The edge of the Great Canadian Shield can be observed in all its glory. It is a amazing sight to see!! If you venture to Prince Edward Island and need accommodations, you are very welcome to stay at my humble abode near the ocean. You can help me improve my Russian speaking skills.

The French accordion music doesn't fit the vibe of Montreal in my opinion. Its a much cooler and hip city than that.

I liked Montreal when I visited. Most of the city is Fluently bilingual, so getting around in English is really easy. I've had the bagels and yes they were better than the standard ones. I was at Schwartz Deli for Montreal Smoked Meat which was very good, I was at Bar B Barnes for amazing ribs. Covid did in the original downtown location, but they have opened other locations around the city. I was most impressed with the fashion scene in Montreal, Going to a club the ladies were dressed to the nines in a way I've never seen before anywhere in Canada.

@@skinnflint you may not find a Substance in it, But I'm sure there are many people who can understand what I meant. the reason most of the cities across Canada and united states are uninspiring is post world War suburbia. Cities across Canada and united states used to be compact, vibrant and full of character before 1940s. But after that cities started building cities for cars instead for people. The car dependant suburbia, the same strip malls and big box stores. There is a reason why people in culturally rich European, Asian, and south american cities don't live in detached homes in sprawling suburbia and that's what makes Montreal so special, it's feels more like a European city rather than a post world War north American city. Everyone wants to live in a detached homes with front and back yard including me and even people in Europe but when we live in cities we have to make sacrifices for our collective good. I'm not saying we all should live in a 20 story condo tower but living in a 3 or 4 storey condo or townhouse with modest front and backyard is not horrible look at charming European cities like Zurich and amsterdam. Luckily urbanism is taking over north America and you can see the results many cities and removing single family zoning and building mixed use transit oriented developments, bike lanes are popping up and cities are tearing down highways inside cities. Please don't mistake me I'm not crazy to write these long paragraph😊 I just wanted to educate you that's it, you may try to understand it or just ignore.
