MONTREAL
is the
economic
and
cultural
centre
of Quebec
and
the
second
largest
city
of Canada. |
Connected
via
major
airlines
across
the
globe,
Montréal
is only
an hour
and
a half
from
New
York
City,
two
hours
from
Chicago,
and
six
hours
from
London. |
The
city sits
on the
island
40 km
Long and
roughly
15 km
wide.
It is
also the
second-largest
French-speaking
city
after
Paris. |
Two-thirds
of the
city's
3.5
million
people
are
French,
the
other
third
being
immigrants
including
British,
Europeans,
Chinese,
Italians,
Indians
etc. |
The
result
is a
truly
multidimensional
city,
with
a global
variety
of eateries,
bars
and
clubs
and
festivals
that
makes
this
the
most
vibrant
place
in Canada. |
 |
It
combines
some
of the
finest
aspects
of the
two
continents-
American
and
European.
Its
North
American
skyline
of glass
and
concrete
buildings
rise
above
churches
and
monuments
of European
style. |

One
of the
most
fascinating
attractions
of Montréal
is its
unique
underground
city
extending
over
an area
of approximately
30 kilometers.
In fact,
this
underground
city
is the
largest
in the
world.
In Montréal
it is
possible
to live,
work,
eat,
entertain
yourself
and
others,
exercise
and
probably
do any
other
activity
you
can
think
of entirely
underground. |
|
Montréal
hosts
over
40 festivals
every
year,
celebrating
music,
food,
film,
and
performance,
as well
as snow,
light
and
laughter
and
visitors
come
for
sporting
and
arts
events. |
|
| The
seasons
are temperate
but winter
is on
much colder
side. |
