Creator's Key Takeaways

Old Montreal isn't just a neighborhood, it's stepping into 17th century Europe without leaving North America.

Montreal bagels are smaller, denser, and sweeter than New York-style. They're boiled in honey water before baking in wood-fired ovens.

The entire Basilica becomes a canvas for this multimedia experience that's genuinely breathtaking.

This city doesn't just have festivals, it is festivals. Over 100 major events annually, many free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Park at a lot because street parking is impossible in Old Montreal.
Bring reusable bags when visiting Jean-Talon Market.
Book the Aura light and sound show at Notre-Dame Basilica separately as it sells out.
Use the underground city (RESO) to stay warm during harsh winters.
