3 PERFECT Days in Montreal Canada | Complete Itinerary

Most Montreal itineraries hand you a landmark checklist and march you across the island until every church starts to look the same. This guide does it differently: Day 1 stays inside the cobblestoned wedge where the city was founded in 1642, Day 2 climbs the mountain the island is named for and drops into the immigrant neighborhoods that gave Montreal its personality, and Day 3 heads through one of North America's oldest markets to the festival plazas the city rebuilt downtown to hold. 🌐 ESSENTIAL BOOKING LINKS FOR THIS VIDEO AND FREE COMPANION PDF GUIDE ARE ON OUR WEBSITE We've researched and hand-picked hotels, attraction tickets, and experiences mentioned in this video, plus a free downloadable PDF companion guide for your trip, all in one place so you don't have to hunt them down yourself. 👉 http://itineraryinsiders.com/destinat... 📍 What's Covered: Day 1: Where the City Began Old Montreal base, Hotel William Gray or Auberge de la Fontaine Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal's birthplace and underground crypts Place d'Armes and Basilique Notre-Dame, Gothic Revival vaults Lunch at Olive et Gourmando Place Jacques-Cartier and Rue Saint-Paul Marché Bonsecours, neoclassical market hall Old Port promenade and La Grande Roue Tour de l'Horloge clock tower Le Bateau-Mouche river cruise (seasonal) Dinner and jazz at Modavie AURA light show at the basilica Day 2: Where the World Moved In Parc du Mont-Royal summit Mile End bagels, Fairmount vs St-Viateur Schwartz's Deli smoked meat MURAL Festival street art Romados, Portuguese piri-piri chicken Parc La Fontaine and the Plateau BYOB dinner at Khyber Pass Day 3: Markets, Festivals, and the Modern City Marché Jean-Talon, historic open-air market Pizzeria Napoletana, Neapolitan pizza Espace pour la Vie, the Biodome Quartier des Spectacles and Place des Festivals Dinner at Bouillon Bilk or a steamie at Montreal Pool Room Prefer to book directly with our other affiliate partners?

To reach Mont-Royal on Day 2, take the 711 bus (seasonal schedule) or a rideshare up, then work your way down through the Mile End and Plateau on foot. Day 3 mixes a short metro hop to Marché Jean-Talon with another to Espace pour la Vie before finishing downtown in the Quartier des Spectacles. An OPUS card covers the metro and buses if you plan to use transit across multiple days. ⏰ C H A P T E R S ⏰ 00:00 - Intro: Why Montreal Is Different 00:37 - Day 1: Where the City Began 01:20 - Pointe-a-Calliere: The City's Birthplace 02:20 - Basilique Notre-Dame and the Aura Light Show 03:27 - Lunch, Place Jacques-Cartier and the Old Port 05:44 - Dinner and Jazz at Modavie 06:35 - Day 2: Where the World Moved In 06:41 - Climbing Parc du Mont-Royal 07:47 - The Mile End Bagel Rivalry 09:07 - Schwartz's Deli, the Main and Mural Festival 10:09 - Romados, Parc La Fontaine and the Plateau 11:26 - Day 3: Markets, Festivals and the Modern City 11:34 - Marche Jean-Talon and Pizzeria Napoletana 12:45 - Espace pour la Vie and the Biodome 13:45 - Quartier des Spectacles and Closing Thoughts [ OTHER VIDEOS YOU'LL LOVE:    • How To Spend 3 PERFECT Days in QUEBEC | 20...      • MONTREAL Travel Guide | Beyond Old Montrea...
