"Bienvenue a Montreal! (Welcome!!!)" a Montreal Travel Page by rmdw

I lived in Montreal from December 2002 until April 2004. It's a very unique city to visit.

A lot of people ask me what it was like to live in. I initially found it difficult to describe but a friend of mine, Dave Towert, provided this description: "A rich, almost European, culture transcending into daily life with a distinct underlying feel of endless character." Mais oui, that describes Montreal very well indeed!

Here's a photo of the Nutcracker Ballet in Montreal. If you'd like to see more photos of the performance then click here.

While everyone has their own opinion on the best places to see, eat, and party in Montreal, here's a poll on the subject: Best of Montreal 2005

In the downtown core much of Montreal exists underground in the form of an expansive set of interconnected shopping malls. While perhaps trivial in the summer, they're absolutely wonderful in the winter! Some people get in their cars in their heated garages, drive downtown to an underground garage and then spend all day indoors. Quite a phenomenon! You can download a full-size version of the map here.
