Introduction
Montréal is known by many names, including la Metropole, la Belle Ville, and the 514. With several hundred years of human history on its shores, including First Nations, French colonisation, and then British colonisation, the city is a spectacular mix of cultures, languages, and activities. Your four-day itinerary is designed to bring you to some of the most famous of Montréal's tourist attractions, but also includes many day-to-day items that visitors tend to miss. Let this itinerary serve as an introduction to one of the most cosmopolitan, accessible, and beautiful cities in North America.
