Tips for Adventure

Explore the neighborhoods

The real magic of Montreal is in its neighborhoods. Spend time in the Plateau, Mile End, Saint-Henri or Verdun to feel the real pulse of the city.

Look for the green alleys ('Ruelles Vertes')

Many neighborhoods have back alleys that neighbors have transformed into beautiful gardens and community spaces. They are hidden gems.

Try to speak French

Although almost everyone speaks English, trying a few words in French ('Bonjour', 'Merci', 'S'il vous plaît') will be greeted with a smile and better service.

take off your shoes

If you are invited to someone's home, it is customary to take off your shoes upon entering, especially in winter.

Tap water is excellent

Montreal water is of high quality and perfectly safe to drink.

travel insurance

Although Canada has a public health system, it does not cover tourists. Medical care is expensive, so travel insurance is a must.

Montreal is very safe

It is one of the safest cities in North America. Use standard common sense, but you don't need a high level of alertness.

Be careful with bicycles

Montreal is a city of cyclists. Pay attention to bike lanes when crossing the street.
