“To paraphrase an old Irish proverb: “There are no strangers in Montreal, only friends you have yet to meet.” Thanks for everything!”

A Montréal welcome is truly unique.
Montréalers are, by nature, welcoming, kind and gregarious. Ever the consummate hosts, we spare nothing as we roll out the red carpet to ensure a memorable Montréal experience for our guests.
Montréalers speak English and French with remarkable ease, as well as a host of other languages. It doesn’t matter where you are or to whom you speak—from our taxi drivers to our concierges to our sommeliers—conversation flows, so you can relax and enjoy every moment and experience of the city.
A walk about town reveals Montréal’s true, easy-going conviviality. Just ask any local for directions: you’ll not only receive the best route, you may even get a private tour guide. Or enjoy the warm, personalized and professional service offered throughout our hospitality industry, whose Old-World service standards are complemented by modern approachability and openness.
Montréal is an extremely pedestrian-friendly city comprised of quaint yet diverse neighbourhoods. Each offers its own unique perspective of life on the island, with a rich assortment of restaurants, cultural venues, businesses and most importantly, residents. And unlike many North American urban centres, we actually live in our downtown, making it a welcoming, interesting and safe place for citizens and visitors alike.
While distinctive in nature, each quartier is homogeneous in the natural warmth and ease extended to visitors so that they always feel right at home, in our home.
