For North Americans, when Europe<\/a> is too far and too pricey<\/a> for a short weekend getaway<\/a>, they head over to the Canadian equivalent: Montr\u00e9al<\/strong>.<\/p>

It's the perfect mix of the\u00a0unparalleled\u00a0Canadian hospitality, an aesthetically pleasant European landscape and the North American lifestyle. Though notorious for its extremely cold temperatures in the winter, Montr\u00e9al offers a different scene come Spring and Summer time. The French-speaking town is filled with festivals by day and a merry nightlife scene when the sun is down.<\/p>

Its gothic architecture though, is captivating 24\/7. When not appreciating the old Montr\u00e9al and hopping from one quaint little shop to another, you should get a taste of the city's\u00a0famous dishes, namely the poutine (crisp fries drowned in gravy and cheese curds) and smoked meat sandwich.<\/p>

For the complete guide on the highlights of Montr\u00e9al, simply head over to our gallery and familiarize yourself before your trip. Bon Voyage!<\/em><\/p>
