I don't think it's possible to say that you have been to Montreal if you have not had
a proper Montreal bagel this is one of the most famous places in the city called the
saint viature and they have been here for over 50 years definitely some of the best
bagels in the city and in general Montreal is one of the best food scenes in Canada so
join me for this city guide to Montreal and I am going to dig into this deliciousness
laughs foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
[Music] trip to Montreal I came here about six years ago I think it was and if you are
looking for a suggestion of where to stay of course I would recommend the Old Town that's
where most of the tourist attractions are you're really in the heart of the city but
personally I would actually recommend the area that I am staying in now which is Plateau
Monte Royale this is a much more local area but it still has a lot of great restaurants
bars and of course you are within walking distance of Mount Royale so you have a beautiful
Green Space right close to you and the hotel that I am staying in is called a beresh do
Plateau it is primarily a hostel but they also do have dorm rooms as well and I feel
like it's very reasonably priced for the area really clean really easy to get everywhere
but whether you're staying at a hotel or hostel one thing that I definitely recommend that
you get beforehand is a good VPN so a big thank you to Surf shark for sponsoring today's
video and whether I am traveling or here in Canada having a good VPN on my computer and
on my phone is a must not only does surfsharkvpn which is a virtual private Network keep your

thank you
[Music] I genuinely don't know how to dress for this weather the weather here in Quebec
end of May has been so chaotic this year when I was in Quebec City and Charlotte walk it
was like zero degrees and it snowed and then getting here to Montreal it has been a bit
warmer like it was 10 degrees in the morning but now it is 22 degrees I don't know what
I'm supposed to wear to like cover all of those Seasons basically in one day and especially
now climbing Mount Royale it is a beautiful green space but I feel like I'm going to be
especially sweaty by the end of it oh
[Music] absolutely spectacular reviews highly recommend coming up here and there's actually
a lot more areas to discover on Mount Royal you could easily go for a two to three hour
hike around the area but because I want to show you guys a lot of other places in the
area I think I'm going to head back down and also get a very cold drink
[Music] one of the other top things that I really love about Montreal is their true appreciation
for art and music there's a lot of famous painters or musicians who are originally from
Montreal most notably of course Leonard Cohen who there is quite a literal mural dedicated
to downtown all throughout the city you will see so many different performance spaces art
galleries and a lot of Contemporary Art that is just out in the open for everybody to enjoy
one particular place I would really recommend visiting is oasis immersion which is actually
a walkable Museum where you get to experience three immersive Galleries and two dazzling
light installations when I went they had an exhibit on Vincent van Gogh which is a Dutch
impressionist artist and I was very impressed by the presentation and found it really moving
so if you get the chance I would definitely recommend checking it out
purpose
now you couldn't do a video about Montreal without talking about its most famous street
which is Rue Saint Paul it is a beautiful pedestrian cobblestone street that goes all
the way through the heart of the old town and has so much amazing architecture lots
of beautiful art galleries lots of really nice fashion boutiques of course this is the
most popular part of the city for tourists to come to so it can get quite busy especially
on the weekends and then to the right of the Old Town there is also the port that's also
a really beautiful area to walk around and there's a couple of islands that you can also
walk or bike to where there's a big green space there's also some kind of biosphere
kind of Science Center sort of place so there's a lot to see and do in this area if you only
had a couple days in Montreal I would probably say to stay in this area [Music]
oh
[Music] [Applause] [Music]

[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause]
[Music] this is the last certainly not least one of the top things that you need to do
in Montreal is to get a smoked meat sandwich or poutine today I'm going to try the poutine
at Schwartz's Deli this place has been around since 1928 and I guess it's common for it
to be packed every single day so I recommend coming not at peak hours if you don't want
to have to stand outside would you look at that definitely something I have never had
before poutine with smoked Mead I got a side of coleslaw Diet Coke this looks amazing so
let's give this a go hopefully it'll be better than my uh Quebec City poutine experience
yeah 100 times better this is definitely what cooking is supposed to taste like and then
the meat on top is really hearty really good like soft fall off the bone 100 recommended
so that is it friends and absolutely fabulous day in Montreal this is one of the best cities
in Canada for sure there is just so much to see and do here and I will definitely be back
let me know in the comments if you have been to Montreal before what were some of your
favorite places and as always I'm sending you guys so much love I hope you're having
a fantastic day and keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys [Music]
