Another fun fact: Guess where Celine Dion got married, lol ( little hint... It's mentioned here )

Well… the nice parts are well kept much like any big city. Montreal actually has some massive trash and litter problems depending on on the neighborhood

@@GavinMichaels Ummm... What neighborhood ? I'm a Montrealer, and i'm not aware of any ''massive trash and litter problems" Little anecdote... I had an American girfriend from St. Louis, and she said Montreal is the cleanest city she ever visited.

@@GavinMichaels Trash and litter problems are much more acute in June and July, and in the north and east...

thank you

Do they only speak french there?

No there is even a english part of montreal and italian@@johnbender2806

@@johnbender2806in live here in Montréal most of the people are bilingual but the more you stay away from downtown the more they speak French

@@johnbender2806no matter where you are in the city, even if you go away from downtown, you can easily be served in English. People here speak easily 2 to 3 languages minimum.

that’d be vancouver

naan best city in North-America

​@@jaloopaz hahahaha yeah keep kidding yourself.....Vancouver is plain vanilla yougurt....Montreal is chocolate pudding with whipped cream and cocaine springled on top

Definitely the best city no doubt

41% of english vocabulary is french !

We are definitely better than you Americans. 😂😂😂

@jack-sz1kx As a Canadian, I love America. The USA is incredible, and Americans are wonderful. You guys treat us Canadians as your own.

@@paulthomas281 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@paulthomas281 i think usa and Canada same countries we are best friend countries 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦

@@jack-sz1kx Absolutely. You guys think Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, Pamela Anderson, Michael J. Fox, Wayne Gretzky, Alex Trebek belong to you !! Lol. Celine Dion and Georges St-Pierre, perhaps not, because they have French accents.

Lol chill 😂 if you go to europe you gonna be in extasy lol

@@mathewvanostin7118 I've been to Notre Dame de Paris, and multiple Cathédrale on the west coast of France all of them took my breath but and la Basilique notre Dame too is beautiful.

Yap

@@mathewvanostin7118 ecstacy

@@mathewvanostin7118 That's a 'great' equivalency... Comparing a 300 year old city to cities in a thousand year old continent...

Yes, I think we can go together.

Montréal was call ville aux mille clochers and Mark says you can't throw a rock without break a church windows. So if you love church there's many beautiful to visit :)

@@beastmtl Yes

Who was it???

@@JB0i John Alexander Ogrodnick. He was the Detroit Red Wings top scorer for 6 consecutive seasons. In 1984 he scored 55 goals. We went to high school together in Edmonton, Alberta.

@@peternesbitt nice!

​@@peternesbittI remember him! Greetings from Mtl

@@peternesbitt so cool

It's called Old Montreal.

@@jamescrud Incorrect it's called Old Port or Vieux Port. Old Montreal is what tourists say.

@@AshishSharma-yk7qryes, Vieux Montréal

@@AshishSharma-yk7qr I've lived here my whole life. The Anglos call it Old Montreal. The French say Vieux Montreal. The Old Port is part of it.

@@GreenEyes73 Hi anglo here. I have NEVER, EVER heard the term Old Montreal. Only Old Port. The French say Vieux Port, not Vieux Montreal.

Switch dreams it sucks here

@@saladking4106 You can always move.

@@GreenEyes73the weather. the money. i hate it yet i love it

@@saladking4106 Care to explain why it 'sucks'

@@GreenEyes73 LOL Yes, i think he should...

Same😊

@yusufhasaan8781 I would not call it 'hidden'. It is one of North America's top 10 urban centers and it is the second largest French-speaking city in the Western world after Paris.

​@@paulthomas281not hidden but most Americans have never been

it's much safer than Toronto or Vancouver! Crime is Lower in Montreal all though every city has it's good and bad parts!

Et le Vieux-Québec, l'autre grand piège à touristes québécois...

@@A350Airwaysbaka

@@A350Airways Ah, pourquoi un piège a touriste? Les visiteurs étranger sont tous très heureux et satisfait de leurs visites...

Montreal is an absolute shit hole. I know, I live there. Junkies on every corner in every borough. Safe injection sites for junkies. Loads of homeless people (I was one for 7 years). Mafia, crime, gangs, shootings, drugs etc).

And American

And orange cones everywhere and the North Pole and you’d be close

​@@helentrvvery close actually a lot of people compare it to those cities..if you're blind just say so

@@helentrv Again if you're blind just say so

In my opinion Snowdon Deli is better than Schwartz's. Everyone has their favourite.

Quebec city.

When its sunny it looks like western europe more or less like france

Lmao this video show only the old port, if you go in downtown you will see is more closer to any North American city than European one

Then my friend you have to visit Quebec City. It’s even more “European look alike” than Montreal.

And I thought Quebec City was the other major Quebecer tourist trap; however, Quebec City would instead be comparable to smaller French cities.

Definitely. Orange cones are a must seen in Montreal

@@Eggroll_kinggg shhhh thats our little secret....

In French we make a distinction between "Le vieux port" et "Le vieux Montréal" (often shortened to "le vieux").

@@hdufort I've never heard this so called shortneed form

Old Montreal not Old Town

@@hdufort Same in English - Old Port and Old Montreal. That is how it is where I grew up and how the tour guides refer to these parts of the city.

Mtl does not feel like NYC at all. Toronto, on the other hand...

@@GreenEyes73 And Boston or New Orleans then? Are these any closer to the feel of Montreal (in summer if you want to compare New Orleans to Mtl)

@@A350Airways Boston yes, including the humidity.

Actually, it Old Port or Vieux Port. NOBODY calls it old Montreal or Vieux Montreal

What he missed was Oratoire St-Joseph...

?

What’s there to do for 2 weeks?

Only january really is.

@@vincentlefebvre9255 what about february ?

@@calikokat100 You can have consecutive days of tough cold in january. In february it can be cold but not for many consecutive days unlike in january. It can be -15° celcius at 7 a.m. and it will be -3° at noon.

What's poutine ?😊

Montrealers should be grateful to live in a place where the authorities don't let their infrastructures crumble like in many other major cities across North-America. Cones are annoying, but they mean that work is being done

@@nancetardiff339 That's the thing, that's a very simple magic trick because hardly anything gets done.

I’m a Montreal expat living in Mid-Missouri, US, and I cringe whenever I hear Montreal mispronounced. The first time I heard people pronounce the names of places like Versailles, Bonne Femme Creek, Crève Coeur, etc, and then saw the written names, I couldn’t help laughing. Missouri was part of the Louisiana Purchase, so many places have French names, but they are totally massacred by the locals! Lol FYI, they pronounce “Versailles” as “Ver-sails”.
