A special Destination!
Montreal is a family-oriented city with parks, museums, and the Cirque du Soleil! It is a walkable city, but there are plenty of bike paths, busses, and an extensive Metro system.
Because of its interesting history, it is an amalgam of cultures, incorporating aspects of French, English, and indigenous ideas into its own unique character. It is also home to waves of immigrants representing more than 80 cultures that continue to add a variety of ethnic flavors to the city!  The food, public art, the many festivals -- including FrancoFolies before the Convention and the International Festival of Jazz afterward will make you want to come early and stay late to experience the joie de vivre of this wonderful city.
