Montreal is the economic and cultural hub of Quebec. The city in spite of its soaring skyscrapers manages to retain its old world charm with stately 19th century buildings and churches dotting the cityscape.

The city has the unique concept of the ‘Underground City’, which is a climate-controlled corridor of about 30kms, with shops. This keeps the city an all year round tourist attraction, even during the horrifying winters. The Avedu Mont Royal is where there are trendy restaurants, fashion boutiques and a hip nightlife. The Bank of Montreal is an interesting building replicated after the Parthenon of Rome. The 300-year-old building has a cash museum, with miniatures of old Canadian Banking system. Montreal hotels are interesting with their inspirational interior designs and architecture. Old town houses, stables are converted into hotels, which are unique in their own way. Montreal also offers high-end luxury hotels as well as cheap studios and hostels.
