Montreal was ruled as a French Colony until the mid-1700s and that history is still very much in evidence today. It’s the largest city in the Quebec province and the second largest in terms of population in Canada. 

The combination of French history with a thriving arts scene makes Montreal a fascinating city that is truly unique in this part of the world. With bustling markets, beautiful botanical gardens, museums galore and the Notre-Dame Basilica, a visit to Montreal as part of your multi-centre holiday will live in your heart forever. 

Montreal is well-known for many mouth-watering foods, with wood-fired bagels, and poutine (chips, cheese and gravy) being local favourites you should definitely try.
