Born, raised and still living in Montreal: and loving it. Great job on your vlog! You hit all the right spots maybe add Bota Bota spa (on a boat in the Old Port) and Westmount Greene av. area, Outremont Bernard St. (and the charming park with a small lake and pavilion behind the theater where people dance tango on Sunday nights), Castelnau St. close to Little Italy). Mount St-Bruno is a nice hike too, close to Mount St-Hilaire: try out the new foodie area with a brewery inside Promenades St-Bruno, very nice! Verdun's beach is cool, as is the outdoor dance floor with salsa nights and other music. Enjoy, it's a great city!

Great video, Will! I love Montreal, and even being there several times, I learned a lot on your video. I will have to replay it to catch the restaurant listings, but you broke it down in 15 minutes to cover all the things important to most. I love great parks, the BIXI bike system is super, and I love discovering all the various neighborhoods that visitors never see. Yes, Vieux Montreal and Vieux Port are great, but I love Mile End, Verdun, NDG, Plateau de Mont Royal, and the Metro is my favorite in North America, I am an architecture junkie, so Montreal is the "high church" of that. The cuisine is miraculous- from a simple croissant or pastry to poutine to great coffee and wine to exquisite fine cuisine to smoked meats at Schwartz deli, but I love the out of the way, simple spots in the neighborhoods for an ethnic delight. A Polish place is right next to Jamaican jerk chicken or an Arab place. C'est magnifique! I did not know about that Clock Tower Beach, and it looks nice. The Jazz Festival is unreal, as is the Comedy Festival, and all the Light Projections at night. Montreal is everything a city should be, but could use some better weather. On your trips outside the city, the 3 hour trip to QC is worth it, along with a cruise from there to Montmorency Falls and the Saguenay Fjord. I really enjoyed a trip to the Winter Carnival and le Hotel de Glace and it's ice bar - very unique! Great job, and you and your girlfriend make a great couple. Best wishes, and Merci!

Thanks for the great video! I've got a cruise scheduled that will end in Montreal in May 2022. I thought about changing the cruise because I wasn't sure there would be enough things to do in Montreal; however, after watching your video I'm definitely going to keep the cruise I have booked. I'm super excited about visiting.

I agree that the Banquise is over hyped… it is alright Poutine, but always packed. In the Parks, I would also add Park Jarry (you can even watch free tennis early in the week during the Omnium Banque National), and Maisonneuve (it also has the bonus of being next to the Olympic park). In the things to do outside of the city, much closer, I would suggest Going to Chambly / Fort Chambly (even more so for any one that like History) - Since you need food, in Chambly I could recommend the Tre Colori Restaurant, or right by the Fort, Fourquet Fourchette; if you have your bike, it’s also a very nice ride by the river and the locks. Lastly, for hikes, if you don’t want to go as far as st-hilaire, there’s also Mont-Saint-Bruno Park.

Well said. I thought about adding Jarry Park but I haven't been enough to fully recommend it. All good suggestions in my opinion, Sacha!

Local Montrealer here,giving a huge authentic certification for this vid. Biggest tourist tip, do not book a hotel in old port/old Montreal. Montreal is about the local neighborhoods not the downtown core or old city. If you book in old Montreal in can be a bit of pain in the butt to get to other parts of the city

For example, La Banquise: good on you for not falling into that trap, and for selecting the Orange Julep. Also, you featured my favourite restaurant: l'Express. Well done, sir.

Nice video. Just a little comment: - The Old Port of Montreal is just the part between Rue de la Commune and the water, and it belongs to the federal government. It’s where the port of Montreal used to be until it was moved further north. - Old Montreal is the name of the historic neighbourhood from the water until Rue St-Antoine. The Old Port is inside Old Montreal, but not the other way around. 🤓🤓
