Montreal - "Paris of North America"
It’s a city of contrast where the winding cobblestone roads of historic Old Montreal meet the busy, skyscraper-lined streets of today, where French and English heritage and history meet and merge. The world came to visit Montreal for Expo in 1967 and again in 1976 for the Summer Olympics. Both events left their mark on the city, and many of the buildings built for them now contain museums and attractions worthy of medals. Montreal's history is the foundation for what is now a beautiful metropolis filled with vibrant culture, art, theatre and music.
