Montreal is North America's most European city — francophone by default, English by convenience, French bistros beside Portuguese chicken and Vietnamese pho. Vieux-Montréal has cobblestone streets and 17th-century warehouses converted to boutique hotels; Plateau Mont-Royal has spiral staircases and bagel bakeries running 24/7; Mount Royal Park (designed by the same architect as Central Park) crowns the city. Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs and Cirque du Soleil were all born here.
