Montreal, Quebec, is the epitome of Old World meets New World and a destination visited by both business and leisure travelers. The 18th-century architecture is still evident, but many structures have been refurbished to reflect the 21st century. Fusion restaurants like Yuukai Fusion Japonaise, people from a variety of countries, and stylish cafes are just some of the sights you'll see in this multicultural metropolis.

To see how far the city has come, visit Vieux Montreal where you’ll be able to explore the city’s historic roots. The thrill-seeker will love La Ronde Amusement Park, and the explorer will fall in love with the Parc du Mont-Royal. Art is found throughout the city, and is proudly showcased at the Museum of Archaeology and Museum of Fine Arts.

Key Facts

When you land at Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), you'll want to start by renting a vehicle. Having a set of wheels at your disposal will allow you to explore Montreal at your own pace, so you can go from St Joseph's Oratory, to the Montreal Biodome, to the Notre Dame Basilica all on your schedule.

Hints and Tips

A nonstop flight to Montreal from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) should last just under four hours. From Montreal, you could make a day trip to Quebec City, which is only two and a half hours away by car.
