Bienvenue à Montréal !
Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the 2nd largest city in Canada and the 7th largest city in North America. Originally called Ville-Marie (or “City of Mary”), the name Montreal is taken from Mont-Royal, the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city.
Statistics Canada identifies the Montreal Metropolitan Area as Canada’s 2nd most populated area with an estimated population of nearly 3.9 million on a land area of 4,259 sq. km. French is the city’s official language and is also the language spoken at home by approximately 60% of the population. More than half of the population can speak both English and French. Montreal is the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. Montreal is a cosmopolitan city. Quebec’s language laws impose restrictions on outdoor signs in languages other than French so you will see few signs in English, but in the parts of Montreal where most travellers go, services are available in English as well as in French.
Montreal is has been named consistently as one of the world’s most livable cities, “Canada’s Cultural Capital” and “City of Design”. Modern day Montreal is a significant center of commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, film and world affairs.
Getting Around Montreal
Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is located 22 km west of downtown and serves all domestic, U.S. and international passenger flights. Locals, on occasion will refer to it as “Dorval Airport”. Mirabel International Airport is located 55 km northwest of downtown and no longer services the public. A taxi ride from the downtown area to Trudeau Airport typically costs around $40.00.
