Destination guide

Making the most of Montreal with a vacation rental

Nestled on an island in the St. Lawrence River and surrounded by steep, lush hills, Montreal boasts an almost European aesthetic. At its core, the city buzzes with tourists as they explore historic churches, world-renowned art museums, and massive squares lined with outdoor cafes and fine French restaurants. Cobblestone streets and quaint alleyways give way to the Old Port of Montreal, where little ones can enjoy a day at the beach and a ride on a massive Ferris wheel. Hotels, inns, apartments, and vacation rentals dot the landscape, offering services to vacationing families, couples, and solo travellers

History

Featuring a collection of 17th-century buildings, Old Montreal not only serves as the city's centre, but also its oldest and most historic district. Start with a visit to Notre-Dame Basilica, a Gothic Revival church built in 1829. Marvel at its grand interior, complete with stained glass windows and rich blue and gold vaults. The area is also home to such ornate structures as the 1687 Saint-Sulpice Seminary, the 1872 Montreal City Hall, and the Bonsecours Market, a domed, 2-storey shopping hub filled with restaurants and shops. In the nearby Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, the Chateau Dufresne is a 1918, Beaux-Arts mansion that now houses a local history museum.

Eat like the locals and make sure you top them with ketchup, molasses, mango chutney, or cranberry preserves.
