Montréal at a Glance

Montréal has long been celebrated as the cultural heart of Canada, home to a vibrant population hailing from all over the world. Boasting a rich, European-inspired history, Montréal is also revered as Canada’s boomtown with thriving economic centers, more restaurants than any other city in the country, a spirited nightlife, world-renowned universities and a colourful art scene. Surrounded by scenic parks, including the iconic Mont-Royal, quaint neighbourhoods are connected by bike trails and 32 kilometres of underground tunnels. Montréal’s residential landscape is as diverse as the city itself, from parkside estates to sky-high condominiums and a plethora of new development projects underway. The Agency Montréal is your window to the region and its incredible mix of architectural styles and distinctly charming neighbourhoods.
