Old Mtl is nice but haven't been there for a number of years. Cobblestone roads, stepping over horse droppings and so on.

Yup, Cain is correct, thats the place to be. Quebec City is also fabulous.

Montreal is truly a beautiful city. The French were rather haughty the few times I was there, but otherwise I enjoyed my visits. You will too.

Happy Birthday Errol!!
Yes, you need to speak some French. They does pretend they don know English.
Great view from Mount Royal.

I find Montreal is a mix of NY and Tdot .....its like the sister city of NY that never sleeps. I do find the natives are a bit more obvious when it comes to racism. The visitors however can party hard and be fun.

I was there for 3 days and that was enough. I wouldn't do it again. Edmonton however...will do again

What? Yu insulting NY?

Went there twice and for all you know Imay even drive up there easter weekend for Iam thinking where to take my daughter.

Montreal is beautiful, my advise is to do the tour bus around the city. I always do that in cities that I visit, in that way after the tour I can decide where I want to go.
There is a famous Roman Catholic Cathedral in Montreal that is famous for curing people who had problems walking, you will see hundreds of walking canes in that church. Up to this day you will see people crawling up the long steps and also the view from there is great.

There some real nice French restaraunts as well.

thanks for all the info,
should I go on line for hotel or drive up first then looked for one, we have to address to go to?

stay away from "funky town" .. years ago I went there (with a bunch of friends), didnt realize was a gay club.. until 2 women latched onto me.. you should see how fast we dashed out !
