The annual list of festivals held here in Montreal is beguiling and the low temperatures make skiing, skating, river surfing and kayaking all possible in the city boundaries.

Montreal's official language is French and it's the second-largest French-speaking city in the Western world, after Paris. Covering most of the Island of Montreal, at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, the city is named after the island's triple-peaked "Mount Royal".
What's on the list of must-do activities while you're in town? Here's a quick guide:
- Explore Old Montreal – with its key buildings and cobblestones dating from the 1600s, including the sumptuous Notre-Dame Basilica.
- Enjoy Parc du Mont-Royal (Mount Royal Park) – one of the city's largest green spaces, designed by the creator of New York's Central Park.
- Chill out at the Montreal International Jazz Festival – more than 3,000 artists from about 30 countries converge annually in late June and early July for a series of outdoor and indoor concerts.
- Sample poutine at La Banquise – a local dish comprising French fries, gravy and white cheddar, with variants including additional beef, chicken or sausage or replacing gravy with tomato sauce.
