Montreal is such a cultural diverse city; there is the Italian part, Irish section and the Latin Quarter. But the best part of the city is Old Montreal, with cobble stone streets, fancy restaurants and of-course the Norte Dame basilica. The whole city can be seen from Mount Royal, after which it was named, some people refer it to as being half way to Europe because of the cultural proximity and lifestyle. The best time to visit is after April till about end of September and close to October. It’s hard to find places to stay during the Grand Prix, the jazz festival, and the comedy festival but prices are pretty stable during rest of the year. Worst time to visit; winters of course. Snow, sunshine, and blizzard often occur with the same day, winter are really intense for I have experienced them first hand. I still remember the temperature being -7 degrees Fahrenheit, which is -21.6 degrees Celsius.
