Montreal

Built around a French missionary settlement on the St. Lawrence River, Montreal grew into Quebec’s largest city and one of Canada’s leading cultural centres. It spreads across the Island of Montreal, with Mount Royal rising above its central neighbourhoods and giving the city its name. Old Montreal preserves streets and warehouses from the port era, while the 19th-century Notre-Dame Basilica remains a major landmark. French is the city’s official language, and festivals, museums, universities and music venues shape its lively urban identity throughout the year.
