Although French is widely spoken, you can hear just about every other language, including Italian, Arabic, Spanish, Tagalog, Portuguese, English and Cantonese. This cultural diversity has also spiced up the city’s dining scene, giving you the option to eat your way around the world.
When you fly to Montreal you'll find well-maintained cycling trails, picturesque parks, year-round festivals, sporting events, and plenty of entertainment options, cafés and restaurants, mean there’s always something to do in Montréal.
