Overview
The largest city and cultural capital of Quebec Province, Montreal is
the second largest city of Canada. Lapping three-head hill at its heart,
the citys name is derived from the French word Mont Royal
meaning Royal Mount. Famous for its numerous beautiful
churches, Montreal is also dubbed as the City of Saints or
the City of Hundred Bell Towers.
The Island City of Montreal is the world's largest inland port and
therefore, an important hub of North American trade. The city is also
ranked as number one in the world to live in for its culture,
architecture, history and ambience. It is the third-largest France-
speaking metropolis in the Western world.
Over the years, Montreal has won a well-deserved reputation of one of
the liveliest cities of North America. With an inordinate number of
attractive & fashionably dressed people and hosting an
internationally acclaimed Jazz Festival every summer, the city will
surely introduce you to a whole new way of living life to the fullest
which the locals here call Joie De Vivre (literally meaning joy
of living). Therefore, whether its watching life go by from an
outdoor cafe, shopping in an underground mall, dinning at a lively
French restaurant, grooving with its dynamic nightlife or following with
a jazz club, Montreal has everything to make your visit vibrant and
exciting.
Hence, this Royal Mount is a unique blend of a brash New World urbanity
with the romantic charm of European flavour. Where its downtown
skyscrapers and luxurious business venues are a testament to the
economic clout, historic districts along the cobbled streets of Old
Montreal near St Lawrence River or Mount Royal makes Montreal apple of
tourists eye.
