Montreal Things to Do

Spring is a great time to visit Montreal, with generally pleasant weather and much to do and see. While the past years have brought milder, warmer spring months, it is still smart to pack layers as weather changes and rain is not unheard of. If you want to ensure pleasant spring weather, it is best to visit in May when the snow has completely melted, the average temperature is 64°F and the flowers are really in bloom. To help you plan the perfect spring itinerary in Montreal, here are some suggestions.

Of all the places famous for a warm, yummy bagel, Montreal may not pop up in your head as a typical place to go. Yet few know that Montreal actually has its own variety of bagel, which is different to the ever-popular “New York bagel” in that it’s wood-fired, made with egg and honey or malt, chewy, dense, saltless, and usually smaller with a bigger hole in the middle. They also normally have either poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top.
