City of Montreal
Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second-largest city in the country, known for a remarkable mix of French and English history and cultural ties dating back to the first European settlements in 1642. More than half of the population considers French as their native language, and all residents are bilingual, which gives a special charm to a lively city with an international character. The city stands on an island at the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers. Montreal is a fast-growing city with picturesque surroundings that are very pleasant to walk through. Instead of getting caught in traffic jams or having trouble parking, take a taxi, bus, or excellent metro.
Montreal is divided into districts, and each of them represents a unique part of a fabulous, welcoming city. There are many museums here, including the fantastic Museum of Fine Arts. This area has long been called the Golden Square Mile because of the abundance of large and luxurious mansions built here by wealthy Scottish and English industrialists who influenced the political and social life of Montreal.
Old Montreal or Vieux-Montreal is the oldest part of the city, where you can see Parisian-style street cafes, artists, musicians, and florist kiosks. Saint-Denis is a bustling area with bistros, quirky boutiques, and art galleries. It is often compared to Saint-Germain-des-Pres in Paris because it is the heart of French Montreal.
Royal Mountain Park is named after a single giant peak, more like a large hill than a mountain, which offers a magnificent all-around view of the city, surrounded by the vast St. Lawrence River. The park was planned by the famous American landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted, who provided ponds where you can skate in winter, as well as hiking trails, slopes for plain skiing, and many corners where you can just sit and enjoy the flora and fauna of the “Mountain”, as the locals lovingly call the park.
The Underground City is an air-conditioned space below street level under the main buildings in downtown Montreal. The main part of this complex is hidden underground, it houses more than 1,600 shops, 40 banks, 200 restaurants, 30 cinemas, and 10 metro stations, which is especially pleasant in the cold Montreal winters.
History
For several millennia before the arrival of Europeans, the Montreal region was inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Algonquins, Hurons, and Iroquois. The first recorded European to come here was the Frenchman Jacques Cartier on October 2, 1535. 70 years later, another Frenchman, Samuel de Champlain, established a fur trading center on the island of Montreal. The first permanent settlement of the French settlers of Ville-Marie arose in 1642, Paul Chaumedy de Maisonneuve became the first ruler of the colony and is considered the founder of Montreal. The city, which is now the industrial center of Canada and one of its largest settlements, a city of more than three million people, began its history as a small Indian settlement at the foot of the low (233 m.) Hochelaga Mountain. In 1642, the mountain was renamed the Royal Hill – Mont-Royal. From the name of the hill, the name of the city — Montreal, located on the St. Lawrence River, near the place of its confluence with the Ottawa tributary, was later derived.
