How the day runs
Montreal dines later than the rest of Canada — between seven and half past nine — and its days have an unhurried, European pace. It dresses with more flair than Toronto and takes food and terraces seriously. A day here might be a bagel in Mile End, a walk up Mount Royal and a long dinner in the Plateau.
Getting around
The metro is quick and runs until about one in the morning, and much of downtown is linked by the underground city, which is a real help from December to March. The Plateau and Mile End are best explored on foot.
When Montreal is busiest
Summer is festival season, with the jazz festival and the comedy festival back to back in June and July. Winter is hard, but the city is ready for it, and the terraces reopen the moment spring arrives. Christmas and the New Year holidays are when families gather.

Questions about Montreal
Can the day be in French, or in English?
Either — most Montrealers switch between them without thinking. Say which you would like, and which language your family speaks, when you send the request.
What works on a winter day?
Much more than you would think: the underground city links large parts of downtown, the museums and restaurants run all year, and the city treats winter as something to enjoy.
Where should we meet?
A café in Mile End or on the Plateau, or in Old Montreal if the day starts by the river — public, walkable and close to the metro.
