I bought this while in Montreal last week. Being familiar with several neighborhoods already, this book gave us some very specific places to locate. We found a few and loved it!

This is a great book for those new to Montreal as well as experienced tourists.

Enjoy!!

I only got to explore a tiny fraction of these ideas, but this book certainly provided plenty of material for planning my trip.

Much better than the usual travel book. Lists tons of non-touristy things to do and appreciate, many of them free, which is right up my alley.

Organized by area, well-written, and bursting with interesting possibilities (post-pandemic!).
