1 Answer

Answer :

answer:It kind of depends on what you’re looking for, but since you’re in the city you might as well hit a few of the tourist basics. I will right away say to visit these three: Montreal Biodome, Notre-Dame de Montreal and the Montreal Olympic Stadium (listed in order of awesomeness from higher to lower). I thought the biodome was terrific, the basilica was just stunning, and the olympic stadium was pretty cool as well. After you hit those, I would really recommend taking one evening to just bum around downtown Montreal. It’s a great city, with a lot of neat, European architecture and the city has a great feeling to it. The weather will be really nice, and you should definitely walk around Old Montreal for a bit and breathe in the culture. If you just wander the streets around the old port you’ll find quite a few smaller restaurants which will serve deer, rabbit, and other neat foods.
