The second largest French speaking city after Paris, Montreal has a European look and feel with centuries old architecture blended with modern and innovative designs. Old Montreal is the oldest section of the city, a warren of cobblestone lanes, intimate restaurants, galleries and boutiques. We recommend pre-booking a tour of the city, which may take in sights such as the Botanical Gardens, the second largest in the world, a cable ride to the top of the Olympic Tower, the Biodome of Montreal and Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montreal.
