Take old-world European charm and mix it with an open, friendly bustling North American city, and you've got Montreal. It's no surprise that the city is home to one of the best neighbourhoods in the world. The second oldest city in Canada, Montreal's combination of history and landscape with twentieth-century architectural wonders results in a never-ending list of attractions (and festivals!). Try inspiring museums; hidden bars and secret speakeasies; fine dining in next-level restaurants and the top tables (plus some stellar cheap eats). Tourists are amazed by Montréal, and locals keep falling back in love with it. What is the most visited place in Montreal? The extremely walkable neighbourhood of Old Montreal, with its cobblestone streets and proximity to the Old Port, is home to some of the city's ancient history and newest attractions. What is Montreal best known for? Aside from our famous bagels and poutine, Montreal is best known for hosting the World's Fair in 1967, followed by the first Olympics ever held in Canada during the summer of 1976; for Mount Royal Park (affectionately known by locals as "the mountain"), designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (the same man responsible for designing New York City's Central Park) and for being a superior city to Toronto in every way.  Where can I take tourists in Montreal? From the top 50 best restaurants in the city to the vibrant nightlife scene, Montreal is a playground for tourists and locals of all ages – sandy beaches, free c

Quand j’ai envisagé de rendre visite à ma mère durant le long week-end d’avril, je ne pensais pas que traverser la frontière du Canada vers le Vermont me rendrait aussi anxieuse. Ce que j’ai toujours considéré comme une simple escapade depuis Montréal m’a soudainement semblé risqué. Des cas récents ont montré que certains voyageurs ont été détenus pendant de longues périodes avant d’être renvoyés chez eux, notamment une personne restée près de trois semaines en détention et une autre détenue pendant 12 jours avant d’être libérée. À mesure que la date approchait, de nouveaux reportages sur le resserrement des règles de voyage et les mises en garde concernant l’enregistrement, la prise d’empreintes digitales et les fouilles m’ont inquiétée. Le gouvernement canadien a récemment rappelé que les douaniers américains ont le droit de fouiller les appareils électroniques des voyageurs – téléphones, ordinateurs portables et tablettes compris – sans avoir à fournir de justification. Dans une version mise à jour de son avis de voyage en ligne, le gouvernement du Canada a également averti les citoyens qu’ils devraient « s’attendre à une surveillance accrue » à la frontière, précisant que refuser une fouille peut entraîner la saisie de l’appareil, des retards, voire un refus d’entrée pour les non-citoyens américains. En vertu de la loi américaine, les agents des douanes peuvent demander les mots de passe des appareils pour inspection. Les voyageurs qui refusent s’exposent à la confiscatio

Quebec’s Ministry of Education released an interim report by the Special Commission on the Impacts of Screens and Social Media on the Health and Development of Young People. With so many things to do with kids in Montreal, from the city's best parks and magical gardens to the highest bungee jump in Canada now open in the Old Port, there is a revolving roster of family-friendly activities to do—a long list of free things to do included.  Worried about the harmful effects of digital distractions on young people's cognitive development and social interactions, the Commission recommended that the government ban cellphone use throughout all school grounds during the academic year, as outlined in a study by Quebec’s Institute of Public Health (INSPQ). According to a report by the CBC, the report was 15 pages based on the recommendation of a committee that included elected officials from the four parties represented in the National Assembly, and was established in June 2024 by the Quebec government to examine how screens and social media affect youth health and development. Quebec Education Minister Bernard Drainville said that a decision based on the report will be taken soon.

In the past, Quebec joined a growing number of provinces with classroom cellphone bans, implementing the policy as of January 1, 2024.

When I thought about plans to visit my mother over the April long weekend, I never thought I would be this anxious about crossing the border from Canada into Vermont. What I’ve always viewed as a quick road trip from Montreal suddenly felt like risky business. Recent cases have highlighted how some travellers are being held in detention for extended periods before being sent home, including one who spent nearly three weeks in custody and another who was detained for 12 days before being released. As the date crept closer, and new reports about the U.S. tightening travel rules and safety advisories including registration and fingerprinting, I started to worry about how cautious I needed to be about crossing the border. The Canadian government recently warned that the U.S grants its border officials the authority to search travellers’ electronic devices without needing to provide a reason—phones, laptops, and tablets included. In a newly updated online travel advisory, the Canadian government also warned citizens to expect scrutiny at the border, noting that refusing a search can lead to consequences including device seizure, delays, or denial of entry for non-U.S. citizens. Under U.S. law, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers can request passwords to access electronic devices during inspections. Travellers who decline may have their devices confiscated and experience significant delays. What could potentially be problematic on my electronic device, and did I need to ta

Montreal is home to one of the world’s best hotels, and this bucket list property just outside of Montreal recently ranked number one in Canada. And remember when 8 Quebec hotels ranked the best in the world last fall? Photograph: Le Mount Stephen But when it came time for Travel + Leisure to publish their annual It list, Canada was nowhere to be seen. To uncover the hotels truly worth the journey this year, Travel + Leisure dispatched 64 reporters to review newly opened and refreshed properties across 44 countries.  They checked into high-end resorts from major global brands, stayed at independent boutique hotels revitalizing urban neighbourhoods, and splurged on an ultra-luxurious escape in the Maldives that clocked in at over $5,000 a night.  For those seeking style without the splurge, they also curated a list of affordable luxury stays that prove you don’t have to spend more than your rent for a chic getaway.  Photograph: Steve Walsh | Commodore And for the second year in a row, they included standout cruise ships. If a property includes accessible common areas and rooms equipped for travellers with disabilities, they noted that, too. So why didn't Canada make the cut?
