Montreal combines the European charm of an old city with the urban savvy of a modern metropolis. Part French, part American, worldly but romantic, Montreal is the capital of the province of Quebec. In ten minutes, travellers can travel down a mountain straight to the skyscrapers of downtown, in another five minutes one can be eating in any number of French restaurants. Montreal's personal host tells readers how. There are do-it-yourself itineraries, including all-day tours, half-day tours and short excursions. Hotels, restaurants and shops and supplies are also provided, with practical information on how to get there, when to go, what clothes to take, what visas to obtain and what to do in an emergency. A pull-out map is included, which not only helps visitors to orientate themselves around Montreal, but also relates to selected excursions and itineraries featured in the book.
