Best Montreal Itinerary - The Ultimate Local's Guide

Montreal is definitely a top city to in North America and if you’re asking whether Montreal is worth visiting, the answer is absolutely YES! A visit to Canada is not complete without visiting this historical city. There is a lot to see and do and since I live here, I thought it would be helpful to put together an itinerary of the best things to do to help you make the best use of your time when visiting Montreal. Montreal is a very walkable city. There is also an underground path connecting different parts of the city, for those colder days. The Metro and bus systems connect popular parts of the island efficiently. In the summer, you can also rent BIXIs and make your way around town using the many bike paths. As a local, I recommend a minimum of 3 days but would say 4 days is best to perfectly capture the vibes of the city, see everything and try all the food possible at a relaxed pace.

The perfect 4 day Montreal itinerary

Day 1:

Start your first day by exploring the Old Port. Here is where you will feel you’re no longer in Canada, as you walk through the cobblestone streets lined with shops and restaurants. Head into the different art galleries and enjoy the French culture throughout these streets. In the summer, you will find many people enjoying the music and performances on Place Jacques-Cartier.
