Old Montreal is the place to visit!

 

If they come before Halloween, you can also go to the Botanical Garden there's an exposition of pumpkin and an exposition of Chinese lanterns. You go when it's dark it's really beautiful. Botanical garden is at métro Pie IX next to the Olympic Stadium.

 

There's also the St. Joseph Oratory at métro Côte-des-neiges or Snowdon.

 

If you have more questions, just PM me!

 

oooh, old montreal is really lovely...so is old quebec...i really want to go back soon

Hello Hello Canadians. I need some help. I recently moved to Montreal and I really don`t know much in this beautiful city, I know there`s people in this thread that live and that have visited Montreal. Some friends from Ottawa may come visit me next month and I would like to take them to see the city so that we can all visit some great Montreal landmarks.It really is a shame that I don't know where to go!

 

Any suggestions of great places of Montreal to check out on a weekend? Hopefully something not too expensive and that can be visited by bus or metro.

 

What are your favourite Montreal places?

 

Posterofagirl, like Cassiopée said, Old Montreal is one of the most beautiful place in the city. While you are there, you could also go visit the Notre-Dame Cathedral too. It's one of the most beautiful church in Montreal. If you go in Old Montreal by night, I suggest you to go partying at "Les 2 pierrots" on St-Paul street. They have live musicians every weekend and they are singing a lot of different styles : music from Quebec and old success too... plus, they sometimes accept suggestions from the crowd, but not all the time though. A good mix between English and French songs :thumb_yello: FYI, last time I've been there, the cover charge was 6$. It's not that much if you consider cover charges can be up to 10 or 15$ downtown.

 

One of my favorite place is the Mont-Royal mountain. Kinda country side in the city hehehe You have a beautiful view of the city up there and it's easy to access by bus. At the Mont-Royal metro station, you take the bus number 11 to go there.

 

It's all I can think about for the moment, but if you want more informations you can come back here to ask :wink2:
