Montréal
The
second largest French-speaking city in the world
Students going to Montréal have the advantage of
being at the hub of North-American history. The architecture
of Montréal is so spectacular that they’ll think
they’re walking through Europe when they head into Old
Montréal.
The city is one of Canada’s most unique and lively
cities, offering a perfect blend of the old and new. Culturally,
there are few cities that beat it. There is little doubt that
Montréal has some of the finest restaurants and bars
in North America, a daunting number of museums located in
and around the city and it goes without saying that shoppers
will swoon at the sight of Montréal’s downtown
core, with over 3,000 shops.
Among its internationally renowned festivals are the Montréal
Just for Laughs Festival, the Jazz Festival, both featuring
hundreds of different shows that attract thousands of visitors
from around the world. The musical festivals of Nuits d’Afrique
and Francofolies also offer free outdoor shows and a magical
atmosphere.
