Mini-Guide To Montreal
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a really exciting mix of French and Canadian cultures with French being widely spoken and the French influence very much alive and well. This has resulted in a city which is vibrant, outward looking, with some great food, bars, nightlife and things to do. The climate is cold during the winter, with temperatures in January being some 15 celsius, although in summer the temperature can be around 25 celsius on average. This makes it a great place to visit for snow sports in the winter. With almost 2 million people, it is not a small city, but it is one which is friendly and with plenty to do, whatever time of the year you visit. If you come in the summer months, be sure to make sure that your trip is timed to coincide with one of the many summer festivals which take place on an annual basis. These feature music, ranging from jazz to opera, dance, and the arts generally or any other artistic medium which you can think of. It really is a beacon for arts type activities.
