The European city in Canada
Montreal is the most European city in North America, but it also provides the American charm. Bilingual and multicultural, Montreal welcomes numerous festivals especially during summer, such as the Festival de Jazz, and Just for Laughs.The Old Port, the art district, is full of art galleries, exhibitions and restaurants. With its European facades and its warm atmosphere, even during those cold winter days, it still makes the walk a satisfying one.
In terms of the nightlife, you are very well served on St-Laurent Street particularly for the more glamorous, or you can enjoy a more typical French Canadian night out on St-Denis Street. Montreal offers accommodating transportation as well as low-fare deals for students.
