Infused with French influences, Montreal is a Canadian city alive with festivals, arts, and gastronomy. Blending the Old City with historic streets and charming architecture with the cosmopolitan chic of downtown, the city offers a mix of experiences for travelers. Originally founded as a fur-trapping town in the 17th century, Montreal has been the vibrant heart of the province of Quebec for more than 400 years.
Shaped by anglophone and francophone residents, today the city of Montreal is home to many immigrant communities from around the globe, which has added to the city's multicultural energy and culinary specialties.
To discover Montreal's energy, Context Travel offers private and small group tours designed for travelers that love to learn.
