Book Flights to Montreal

Beautiful architecture

Named a UNESCO City of Design in 2006, Montreal is home to 50 National Historic Sites of Canada (the most in the country) and is bursting with beautiful historical buildings. Arrange a guided tour when you book your flights to Montreal to learn about the most prominent buildings and how they’ve helped this city thrive.

Once the country’s central hub for industry and finance, a stroll around Montreal will take you past the old buildings that tell the story of Montreal’s rich history. The French influence is noticeable in its architecture too, with grey stone structures dotted through the downtown and Old Port neighbourhoods.

A cultural paradise

Montreal is famous around the world for hosting a variety of cultural festivals, including the renowned International Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs comedy festival, and Montreal World Film Festival.

Even if you don’t fly to Montreal when these famous events are on, you can still catch a memorable performance or exhibition at one of the city’s numerous music venues, museums, or art galleries.

For a must-see highlight, visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Here you’ll find collections of modern art and exhibitions looking at sculpture and photography. You’ll even find works from Thomas Hirschhorn, Ann Hamilton and Andy Warhol.

Explore the ‘underground city’

Montreal’s ‘underground city’ – formally called the RÉSO – is one of Canada’s most interesting and clever examples of urban planning. The 20 miles (32 kilometres) of pedestrian-friendly tunnels connect the city, making Montreal easy to navigate and explore.

Using both underground and ground-level tunnels, you’ll find thousands of shops, restaurants, and university buildings, within easy reach.

Metro stations are dotted throughout the ‘underground city’, making it a complete solution for exploring the city, regardless of what the weather is like. You can find a free map at any Metro station to plan your route with ease.
