Explore the Capital of Quebec with Hassle-Free Flights to Montreal

Cosmopolitan Montreal brings the culture of Canadian friendliness together with the fascinating history and dual-language fusion of the Quebecois. From dazzling architecture and historical sights right through to great food, vibrant festivals, trendy places to see and be seen, and an ultra-modern arts scene, this is a city you have to experience at least once. And with Royal Air Maroc’s flights to Montreal, it’s never been easier to enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Explore the Best of Historic Montreal

Montreal has exquisitely preserved little slices of its history from its founding right through to the modern day, making it a marvel of architecture and a delight to explore.

• The Historic District

Montreal may be a busy and cosmopolitan modern city, but hidden inside it lies one of the most beautifully preserved historic districts in the world, beginning in 1642 CE and carefully tracing Montreal’s development over time. Cobblestoned Vieux-Montréal is dotted with beautifully restored architectural delights and is well worth a day’s exploring.

• The Old Waterfront

While you’re enjoying Vieux-Montréal, be sure to swing by the Vieux Port de Montréal. The historic waterfront is exquisite by itself, with amazing views of the Lawrence River. This is also a hub of fun activities and events, and hosts regular art exhibits. If you want somewhere beautiful to walk or bike, or just to relax and be soothed by the lapping waters, this is a great spot – and there are river cruises too.

• Other Architectural Gems

Montreal has a fascinating blend of historic and modern buildings to enjoy. Explore the postmodern skyscraper age with 1000 de la Guachetiére, or embrace the ‘horizontal skyscraper’ at Montreal World Trade Centre – historic buildings linked by a glass walkway. The WW2-era Sun Life Building, Olympic Stadium, and City Hall are all worth a visit too.

Intriguing Museums in Montreal

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is the most-visited museum in the country. Unlike many art museums, it embraces fashion, music, film, and much more too, making the collection intriguing to explore. Then head to Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Archaeology and History to explore Montreal’s prehistory through immersive modern exhibits.

Then explore the social history of Montreal at the McCord Museum, a hugely popular stop for people in Montreal. With the look of an art gallery but the soul of a museum, DHC/ART (now changing to Foundation Phi) allows you to submerge yourself in contemporary art history in Canada.

Neat and quaint, don't miss the Château Ramezay house, Quebec’s first historic monument. Take a glimpse into a more intimate and private history than the larger museum experience. Then try the Redpath Museum, sponsored by McGill University, for a collection that has over 3 million artifacts, including ancient Egyptian mummies and a full whale skeleton.

Montreal Parks and Outdoor Spots to Enjoy

Designed by the same architect as New York’s Central Park, Mount Royal Park brings its own mountain to the table – and yes, you can climb it too. Be sure to experience the park on a Sunday, when the ‘tam-tams’, or impromptu outdoor gatherings of drummers, dancers, and artists take place.

Or take a less formal walk in nature, and trace the route of the Lachine Canal. It’s the perfect way to people-watch and immerse yourself in the local culture, and the natural views are spectacular, especially as the seasons turn in autumn.

Not quite a park, but certainly worth a walk outdoors, there is Cité Mémoire, a fascinating art installation in the Old Montreal area. Scenes from history are projected onto the buildings that watched them happen. It’s an immersive way to understand the heart of Montreal’s history.

Did you know Montreal has beaches? Try Clock Tower Beach in the Old Port, Vague à Guy for watersports, or the Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park for a surprisingly traditional beach experience in Canada.

Where to Shop in Montreal

Head to St Catherine Street for one of the best shopping experiences in the city. Covering everything from designer brands to souvenirs, it sprawls across the entirety of Montreal’s downtown area. The Eaton Centre, also downtown, offers a modern shopping experience and some solid dining opportunities.

Food lovers will find it difficult to tear themselves away from Marché Jean-Talon, where local farmers sell their produce, and you can sample the tasty treats made from them too. It’s charming and delectable, so come hungry. Bonsecours Market, adorned by a jazzy dome, offers another superlative way to enjoy succulent local produce. Then shop the secondhand stalls and boutiques at Mont-Royal Avenue for a quirky souvenir or two. Saint-Laurent Boulevard is also worth a stop.

Don’t miss the RÉSO, the underground city. It connects many destinations, allowing you to shop without the weather interfering; you may also enjoy exploring the sprawling network of art and theatre venues, shops, and other experiences lying along the Montreal Metro system.

Explore Montreal with Children

With Royal Air Maroc’s thoughtful onboard experience for younger fliers, it’s easier than ever to find a flight deal to Montreal and take the whole family along. Be sure to stop at the Place des Festivals, with a rotating slate of festivals and events year-round. While some may not be aimed at children, most are family-friendly and vibrant. Oasis Immersion at the Palais des Congrès offers a magical fusion between reality and technology that will delight your inner child as well as your actual little ones! Then take a ride on La Grande Roue – Montreal’s answer to the London Eye.

Kids are sure to enjoy the Space for Life, with 4 interconnected biome-style experiences. See lynx and penguins, smell a dizzying variety of plants and flowers, see creepy crawlies from all over the world, and have the wonders of space explained through the planetarium. It’s so vast, you may need a few days to see it all.
