If you're into cities, Montreal is just another one. Smaller than Toronto and mainly French, it's like knockoff Paris to me. Knockoff meaning that there are lots of similarities, but not nearly as nice. The transit system is similar, the cobblestone side-streets are similar, and of course, everything is in French.

​

I personally don't recommend Montreal. The people are rude and it's far more expensive than Toronto is. I don't feel like Montreal has a lot to offer. I've only been there once and I honestly don't see myself ever going back.

​

However, if you'd like to be in France without paying for a flight there, Montreal is a good in-between.

​

If you're planning on heading there, I'd say a weekend, maybe even less, is enough to cover this trip.
