Had a nice first visit to Montreal this past weekend. Went on a bit of a greatest hits tour around. Traveled around on foot as much as possible to get the neighborhood feel and what not. Everyone was very friendly. Weather could not have been better.
We stayed in Old Montreal and basically made our way out in different directions from there.
Our hotel had a nice roof deck.
Ate bagels and walked around Mile End. Big fan of this neighborhood.
I love all the front staircases that go up to the different units. It's a different type of urban build than I am use to, but I loved the design of so many of them.
Climbed the steps up to the top of Mont Royal. Walked all the way back through ville-marie around McGill. Enjoyed seeing a bit more of the city on that journey.
Walked around downtown a good deal. Really forgot to take more photos.
Walked the St. Catherine pedestrian way from the Village back towards downtown
Big fan of the St. Denis pedestrian way near UQAM. It was vibrant on Saturday night. Seemed students might have been having move-in day at the same time.
Ate dinner in Little Burgundy one night. I will say walking back from that direction, the highways make it kind of a pain. But frankly every single North American city has that problem in one spot or another. But saw a bit of the new stuff in Griffintown. Lots of development going on.
I was big fan of the canal area right around the Atwater Market.
It's a shame my phone camera is like messed up because none of my nighttime photos turned out right. But I enjoyed the vibrancy of Old Montreal at night. An Alice and Wonderland thing was going on so there was a lot of characters out and about everywhere.
Of course I had to eat Poutine a couple times too haha.
All and all, an incredibly beautiful city with a great restaurant scene and only a 60 minute flight from Philadelphia which is nice. Would like to see more one day.

but nah I honestly got bored and that's what randomly popped into my mind. Sounds like a name Musk would give a kid though tbh.
