Why come for a Montreal Canada vacation?
Why come for a holiday in Montreal?
There is Montreal itself.
And there are the many places to go to,
starting from Montreal.
**
We'll soon get back to the wonders of Montreal, but first, here are some of the places you can set off to:
Ottawa, Canada's capital city, just 2 hours away;
Quebec City, Canada's oldest city, 3 hours away;
Toronto, the capital of the province to the west, 6 hours away;
and several hours past that, the Niagara Falls.
Much closer is the
countryside around Montreal -
different in the different directions:
the Laurentians to the north, many lakes, forests, scenic towns;
the Eastern Townships to the east, rolling hills,
scenic towns;
and the Gaspe much further off.
For North Americans, beyond the pull of present-day Montreal,
there is also the pull of the history of Montreal -
especially of Old Montreal, Vieux Montreal,
with its narrow cobblestone streets.
Europeans often laugh at this - what Montreal history?
It's only a few hundred years.
Whether or not the history of Montreal attracts you,
for a Montreal Canada vacation,
the first thing is to explore Montreal.
What to do in Montreal, city of festivals,
shopping, nightlife, restaurants, plus?
The big question: what do you feel like doing?
Montreal has just about everything, from live music,
to theatres, including a large English language theatre
in the heart of Old Montreal - the Centaur.
Montreal also has Place des Arts -
events nightly from ballet to opera to
popular musicals to classical music.
Then there are the art exhibits,
from those at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts,
to those in a whole array of small art spaces and galleries.
