Make Plans for Montreal

One of Canada's largest cities, Montreal, set along the shore of St. Lawrence Lake, is a city rich in history and diversity. Montreal is easily accessed from the Ville-Marie Expressway and is just 15 minutes from nearby Brossard - set just across the lake.  Guests of the Best Western hotels in Montreal and the surrounding area enjoy exploring the city to experience the history and culture of Montreal. A visit to Old Montreal is a must, as well as the Museum of Archaeology and History - don't miss out on the unique Lachine Fur Trade Museum. Montreal's annual Montreal High Lights Festival is one of the city's popular events - check it out. Montreal features plenty of history - but there's more to be seen.

Fans of the arts always find time to visit the Musee d'Art Contemporain de Montreal, and the Musee des Beaux-Arts, while others who enjoy a nice evening out, head to the Place des Arts for wonderful live performances. Many guests to the area also enjoy the fun adventure of exploring the great outdoors - and Montreal doesn't disappoint. Be sure to visit Mont Royal, and Lafontaine Park - both great for hikes, nature walks, picnics and yield excellent birding opportunities. And a must for anyone vacationing in Montreal is a visit to the Underground City - a collection of malls for shopping, dining and more. Montreal, for all it's wonders, history and natural beauty, also has a great local sports scene.

When visiting during the fall, winter, or spring, be sure to visit the Bell Centre, home to the Montreal Canadians. Take the family and watch as they zip around the ice, send pucks flying toward goals, and check their way through the always tough Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference. So visit Montreal - a sterling example of Canadian hospitality, history and excitement.
