Montreal is 5 hours behind the UK, so when you're sipping your morning tea, they're just dreaming about coffee. Perfect for avoiding jet lag on your return.

From cobblestone streets in Old Montreal to cool street art and foodie heaven in Mile End, Montreal is a vibrant mix of European charm and North American energy. Think festivals, museums, ice skating, bagels—and oh, the poutine!

No visa? No problem! British passport holders just need an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter Canada. It's quick, easy, and done online—tick that travel box.

Montreal shines all year round! Summer (June–August) is festival central with sunshine and alfresco vibes. Winter (December–February) turns the city into a snow globe—ideal for ice skating and Christmas markets. Spring and autumn? Hello, colour and culture!

Get your taste buds ready. Grab bagels at St-Viateur, dive into classic poutine at La Banquise, or go gourmet at Toqué!. Montreal’s food scene is as diverse as it is delicious.

Absolutely! Montreal was made for strolling. Wander through Old Montreal, discover hidden gems in Plateau, and explore underground walkways when winter rolls in. Lace up and go.

100%! From hands-on fun at the Biodôme, to river cruises, parks, and street performers galore, Montreal is packed with family-friendly magic for kids (and grown-ups) of all ages.
