Background
Montréal, founded in 1642, is the second-oldest city in Canada. While being second in North America for university students per capita, the city’s culture, dynamic and atmosphere make it unique and memorable. The city attracts all types of travelers and holds something for everyone. The skyline is defined by its most predominant natural feature, Mount Royal, which provides a breathtaking backdrop to skyscrapers, bridges and the network of city streets. Take a walk to the summit to experience the panoramic view of the city and St Lawrence River below.
