Montreal is a place that boils with fun and entertainment, and is a perfect rendezvous for everyone craving for a bright and unforgettable summer vacation. This is a must-see place for jazz gig lovers, as is the annual International Jazz Festival held here. With its annual Just for Laughs festival, there is no way around this place for true comedy connoisseurs.
This is where you will taste all sorts of genuine haute cuisine and see what really makes good poutine, to which none of all that American-made fast food stuff will ever hold a candle. Shoppers from all walks of life, from those settling for inexpensive second-hand goods and little bargain deals, to posh boutique seekers, enjoy a wide scope for experiment.
Today, Montreal is a spot where different cultures, religions and traditions brought in by immigrants make up a profound harmonic concoction, absolutely devoid of rough edges. This tolerance is observable both in the city's exquisite architecture and its citizens' benevolent attitude toward everything new.
Whatever good there is to say about the city itself, it is mostly about its inhabitants. Their infinite vigor and thirst for life keeps them warm even when it gets really cold in winter.
Although the exchange rate between the U. S. and Canadian dollar has changed, Americans are still a little ahead of Canadians in terms of vacation activity. Generally, dining, sightseeing and other entertainment costs in Montreal, are within the bounds of reasonable.
