Clear. Cool.

Montreal's charm lies in its relaxed atmosphere rather than its star attractions. Nonetheless, this city has managed to carve out a place for itself as Quebec's economic and cultural center.

Quebec's largest city has always kept one foot in the countryside, although mighty skyscrapers have sprung up among the city's churches. During the day, the city has a typically North American bustle - though French-speaking Montreal takes pains to retain its linguistic heritage.

Suggested Itineraries: Montreal

Some people say it's the French background, others the sin-and-repent mentality of a predominantly Catholic city; whatever the reason, Montréalers love to eat out. The reputation for culinary excellence has Gallic roots, but a more recent cosmopolitanism makes for a United Nations of cuisine.

Even rival Torontonians will grudgingly admit it: Montreal's nightlife is the liveliest in Canada. Nightclubs serve alcohol until 3:00 a.m. - the longest opening hours in the country - and the variety of these establishments is simply astounding.
