Though it was only in recent years that Montreal attained its status as Quebec’s official metropolis, it has been attracting visitors and settlers for centuries, making it one of the most famous places to visit in Canada. Montreal is popular for its beautiful mountain scenery, world-famous landmarks, and controversial political history. It is the only French-speaking province of Canada and recent laws require you to speak and learn the language if you are thinking of going into business or settling there for good.
Montreal’s culture is rich with French and English influences, evident in their architecture, culinary offerings, history, and lifestyle. Poutine, a popular dish consisting of french fries, gravy, and cheese curds, is a must try in famous restaurants like La Anquise. The Notre-Dame Basilica, an ancient gothic chapel and among the world’s most beautiful, is where the famous Canadian celebrity Celine Dion got married. There is much more to see in Montreal, so stay for a few days or longer. Check our list of top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals below, for the most elegant but affordable, home-like stays.
