Montreal
 

So anyone where been to Montreal? Going to be there for a week and was wondering if anyone had an suggestions on what to do and what to see there.

Old Montreal
St. Joseph's Oratory
Climb up Mt. Royal for some views

Eat Smokemeat sandwhiches at Ruben's or Dunn's (have cheesecake too)

Party on Crescent St.

Make sure you hit up the night scene...Montreal has the best nightlife in Canada hands down!!

Crescent St. is for tourists.

Check out St. Laurent for some of the posh places.

well what do you think he is?

going tomorrow thanks for the suggestions!

stopping here for couple days and planning to stay at a hostel.

any good hostel recommendations?
location/close to subway is key

thanks!

Rueben's isn't that good. I'd recommend Schwartz's.

Party at 1234, 737 Altitude, Dome and Jet.

Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwiches

i'm envious...i have been wanting to visit montreal for such a long time...i heard the cathedrals are incredibly beautiful there...

oh my i just clicked on that link you posted for the meat..and holy that's a lot of meat!! one place to skip since i don't eat meat haahha

so... any hostel recommendations? thanks!

Oh, and I forgot - Pictures of Montreal
I believe GFunk may also have some pictures up too.

Enjoy! :)

STRIP CLUBS BABY.

go to club 281 on St laurent street

Best time to visit Montreal?
 

my goal next year is to visit montreal...i have been holding off for long enough...when is the best time in the year to visit montreal?

Probably anywhere around this time. My friend lives in Toronto and goes to Montreal every May long weekend. That's when the city goes crazy on partying at all the clubs and I'm sure the weather there is nice. Not to mention, you get to see the nice flowers and scenery in Old Montreal.

I went in March with GFunk. Have a look at some of the pics and check out some other threads regarding Montreal here and here. Have fun! :)

definately the summer. the city is so alive, there's always some sort of street festival.

great times to go are during the jazz festival and just for laughs.

st. catherines street downtown is fun. olympic stadium. the metro. la ronde amusement park. old montreal. the big shopping mall downtown.

Good thread! I'm in Ottawa right now, so Montreal is only an hour and a half away. Depends really what you want to do...

Sightseeing: Vielle Montreal (old montreal) and Vieux Port (old port), Chinatown (small tho), Mt. Royal

Shopping: Cresent, St Laurent, tons of malls in that area too

Nightlife: havent been here long enough :( But i wanna check out the strip clubs :p

i loved Montreal!!! If i were to move away from Vancouver, Montreal would be the place. Their subway system is 100000000000x more efficient and there is just so much culture! i loved it!

i'm currently in montreal and i must admit it sucks here. The streets seem so dirty, the drivers are worst then the drivers in richmond by x10000. And the people here are super rude! I went to Ruben's and it sucked there. The only decent places i've been to eat was Schwartz but the waiters and servers were hella rude. The view from Mont Royal isn't that great...the view from north vancouver is better and it's also less crowded then mont royal.

Ok but how was the nightlife?

night life is kick ass i guess...everything is opened really late...but the after hours clubs is all gay people

Well don't leave Vancouver then cause pretty much the rest of the world is like that or worse.

Circus afterhours isnt gay. supposed to be tons of hot girls there

Well, I'm making my way to Montreal soon. Are there any specific shopping places I should go to? ie. where the locals go to dress chic...
I am also looking into anything that has to do with a young college crowd... concordia night life???
As well, I can't forget about the ladies, where do they all go and where are they the most friendly (I don't want to meet uber chic bitches - female dogs - that think they're the hottest things that graced this planet)
Are there any restaurants I should check out? Any hostels or hotels where its more student oriented?
