Book Montreal hotels

A few foods are worth an international flight, and when the journey takes you to an awesome city, well, that’s just gravy. Speaking of gravy, isn’t it time to treat your craving right and go on a poutine pilgrimage to Montreal, Quebec?

Located on the southeast side of Canada, this riverside city has strong French influences, down to its love of the fried potatoes and cheese that make poutine the queen of cuisine. Of course, there’s loads of shopping, beautiful architecture and easygoing locals to go with the signature dish. Check out lastminute.co.nz’s hot Montreal hotels and start the adventure!

Things to Do in Montreal

Start out in the waterfront district of Ville-Marie, home to the 16th-century Notre-Dame Basilica and the modern-day cultural event venue, Quartier des Spectacles. The former is decorated with gorgeous stained glass and the latter is lit with neon and the energy of late-night festivals. Practice your French by chatting with the locals among the tugboats at the Old Port.

Next, wander quietly through the shops on Rue St Denis, a quirky street lined with international cafes, cosy bars and unique indie boutiques. Sleep off the ginger rum shandies in one of the best hotels in Montreal, and wake up ready to get up close and personal with hockey fans at Bell Centre. Just stay outta trouble!
