Since the remarkable feat of Expo 67, this Quebec municipality continues to bask in the spotlight with charisma and belief. The home of Cirque du Soleil, Montreal embraces an integration of performance and design, from the Notre-Dame Basilica, accentuated with fabulous light shows, to its proud gastronomic obsession, especially with poutine, bagels, and smoked meat sandwiches. A diverse calendar of
festivals, from comedy to fireworks, all highlight Montreal’s Quebecois magnetism.
