People Of Montreal - Tell Me What To Visit And Experience In Your City!

[Visualad]

So far I have:

1: eat poutine.
2: Visit "the subway". (it´s supposed to be a subway extraordinaire with Bj´s given by playboy bunnies)
3: ... sorry... forgot number 3.

So I know there are lots of montrealers and canadians travelling these waters.. Post in this thread what someone visiting Montreal should REALLY visit or experience!

Can be food, a building.. Anything.

Thanks.

hehe.. yah. that was number 3 I forgot about.

Gotta be something else to do aswell!! ;-)

To be honest, there is a whole heck of a lot more to do in this city in the warmer months.
However, Montreal has excellent opera. I have seen many a show at L'Opera de Montreal so if that is something you like, I'd recommend it.

Often when I travel, I check www.pollstar.com and check the city and the dates I will be there to see if there are any interesting concerts in town during my trip. I also check to see if there are any pro sporting events scheduled during my visit too, and book the tickets ahead of time if necessary.

Definitely better in summer, though I'm not a big outdoorsy person so I couldn't suggest too much in winter...

Eat cheap and in better restos - whether it's poutine & dogs, smoked meat or fine Steak & wine, Montreal is just kick-ass in the gastronomical area.

Check out Old Montreal - cathedral, architecture, museums and galleries, bars and more restos, cool little streets...

Science Museum, or in winter there's festivals and happenings all over the place too.

Catch a ride to the top of the Olympic Stadium.

St-Laurent street - more bars, more restos, shops and boutiques, a shopping addict's mainline.

St-Joseph's Oratory.

Foufounes Eletriques - catch a show or just have a pitcher; pretty cool punk/alt bar.

Mount Royal Park (or Parc Mont Royal) - pic-nic areas, foresty walking paths, city views, Beaver Lake for the water-paddlers (no swimming); ski trails and sledding hills in winter, ice-skating on Beaver Lake...

La Ronde amusement park - fun as much for the weird old-school type rides and attractions as the new stuff - don't think it would blow away the major US parks though.

We have more of all that stuff (more bars, more restos, more shops, more boutiques, etc., no roller coasters yet) in our underground city too - just hop on a Metro and ride to McGill station as a starting point and go all over the place from there.

A strip club tour could keep you occupied in Montreal for many months, especially if you include the suburbs. :D

Funbrunette what is poutine? It looks disgusting.

[Virgule3]

Don't forget to go to the Biodôme. It is amazing.

Poutine is actually REALLY good! Well, I love it. It's just cheese, gravy and french fries. Haaa... Fast food...

When are you coming Visualad?

Sophie.

Summer is the time to go.
But make sure you say Hi to all the panhandlers.
Montreal and Ottawa are in fierce competition to see who can have more. ;)

Night clubs . some of the best in the world!
Sex clubs .. ya we got some of those
Strip Clubs "plus" .. Nothing like "round the world in three songs or less
and lastly the on slot of Swingers Bars opening up in our city since the Law change last year.

Oh lets not forget our ever so world reknown Escort Agencies ... starting as low as 120$ an hour for full GFE services .. for top girls though you should opt for 200$ + an hour ...


umm .. that is all ... we return you to your Poutine explorations
