Only in Old Montreal can you dance to pounding techno music on a frozen waterfront surrounded by 17th century buildings. One of the world’s largest winter festivals, Montreal en Lumiere – “Montreal in Lights” – seems to have no purpose other than luring people with amazing food and A-list performances. The city is rooted in the spiritual with church pews found in a variety of settings. God was clearly on the mind of early settlers and is still in favor today.
As you walk around Old Montreal – the 17th
century neighborhood of early Canada still retains the character of early habitants. Now this neighborhood is sizzling hot again, and rue St-Paul has become a
happening fashion strip. High-end boutiques offer striking designs for all fashionistas. And
before you faint over prices remember the favorable exchange rate. If you are gastric inclined, the lure of Old Montreal is also because it's one of the fastest-moving restaurant cities in
the world. Forget trendy, nothing is more soul-warming on a cold night than a delicious meal from one of its legendary local spots. After 90 years of continuous refinement, most of the restaurants along the waterfront offer something new to wow your senses and invigorate your taste buds.
Old Montreal is one of the most romantic cities in the world.
With its cobblestone streets and walled fortress buildings, this place resembles the quaint 17th century European village. It’s lovely to
visit any time of year, but the romance is ratcheted up in the winter. Old Montreal gives you a good reason to cuddle for warmth – it’s actually not crazy to head to Montreal when the temperature drops.
