Despite some flaws, most of us can agree that Montreal is a beautiful city. It’s the second oldest city in Canada and it shows with so much culture and history. It remains an important centre of commerce, aerospace, transport, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, education, art, culture, tourism, food, fashion, video game development, film, and world affairs. I mean, Montreal has it all— festivals, inspiring museums, an amazing nightlife, iconic food, incredible restaurants, and so much more that it’s no wonder tourists are amazed by our city whenever they visit.
