Montreal's climate is hot in summer and cold in the winter. If you plan on doing a lot to explore outside, then it is advisable to visit during the summer. Winter can be fun as Downtown Montreal has many shopping centers and subway stations that are connected by underground tunnels. During the winter you can go shopping all day for different parts of the city without having to set foot in the cold. Winter brings cold winds and a good bit of snow. It is not uncommon to see people digging their cars in the morning after a snowy night.

There is a long trail to the summit, on a hot summer day may seem like a good ride, but ultimately the point of view is worthwhile. Montreal architecture is very unique, walking through the old city (Old Montreal) is easy to forget that you are in North America not Europe. Very close to Old Montreal is the financial district with many modern skyscrapers. Notre-Dame Basilica or French Basilica of Notre-Dame de Montreal is located in Old Montreal. Gothic architecture of the church makes it one of the most unique churches the world.
Montreal Getting around is easy because of its large underground and bus network. The Metro runs on a grid with two parallel lines through the center. Each station has been decorated by a different artist, so riding the subway may seem like a visit to an art gallery. The Metro does not operate 24 hours, but after each line closes a network of night buses began to operate with stops at each subway station. If you want to visit somewhere in the outskirts of the city is also a network of trains.
