Explore the local Jean-Talon market in the Little Italy district, where farmers, butchers, and fishmongers display delicious produce and offer a glimpse bite-sized of Montreal’s food scene. Tick off the must-see Mount Royal Park and enjoy the best views in the city. Stop by a hundred-year-old bagel shop, iconic Italian-style cafes and vintage clothing stores waiting to be explored in the trendy Mile End neighborhood. Be sure to save some energy for Montreal’s nightlife, once the lights dim down, this city does not disappoint with a vibrant nightlife scene, second to none.
