Orientation
Toronto may have snatched the baton from Montreal as Canada’s biggest city, but
Montreal remains the country’s most diverse and fascinating metropolis,
an extraordinary fusion of rich European tradition and North American
modernity. Montreal is on an island, the biggest in an archipelago downstream
from the confluence of the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence.
When to Go
Montreal has hot, humid summers and long bitter winters with ice and snow lasting from mid-December to mid-March and temperatures dropping well below freezing. Spring and fall days are warm, but mornings and evenings can be cool.
