Discover Montreal by Hire Car
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is located in the province of Quebec in the east of the country.
The city is built entirely on the Ile de Montreal, an island located at the meeting point of the Ottawa River with the mighty Saint Lawrence River.
After Paris, Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city in the world.
It lies about 1600 km from the Atlantic Ocean and its port forms a major port of call for ships bound for the Great Lakes.
Leisure activities in Montreal
About 30 museums, many parks and a well-developed network of bike paths, with a total length of 600 km, lots of cultural activities, trendy pubs and interesting restaurants, make a vacation in Montreal a special experience.
Montreal knows long, cold winters and short, warm summers. The Indian summer shows itself here in autumn in full splendor. Mount Mont Royal, located within the city limits, is a popular vantage point.
At its foot is the Biodome, a biotope zoo created in the former Olympic cycling stadium. Directly across the street is the botanical garden.
Sights in Montreal
Montreal has a very beautiful old town with buildings from a 400 year old architectural culture. This part of the city is best discovered on foot or by horse-drawn carriage. Chinatown and downtown are also worth seeing.
Unique is the underground city. The subway network has been linked between offices, hotels, cinemas, restaurants and residential buildings to form a 30km underground pedestrian zone.
The neighbouring city of Laval, also located on an island, is known for beautiful parks and huge shopping malls.
