I've been to Montreal many times. Stayed at a motel at Parc and Mont Royal. And also stayed on St. Denis. And also in the West Island in Dollard des Ormeaux. Great transit system and beautiful markets and stores and malls. Most people are extremely friendly and helpful. I was amazed at how people would offer you their seat on the buses or subways. I am a man and females would offer their seats. Just wonderful people. But the influx of immigrants is starting to clog up the city and transit and that is going to be an issue if it continues. I love going everywhere on the transit system and the cost is the cheapest for a weekly pass I have ever paid in any large city. 26 dollars for a week. That is amazingly low. It has many great attractions and shopping is great if you are into that sort of thing. I have been to all four corners of the island and will go there again once the virus works itself out and things get back to normal. I love that city.

If I can recommend two more great things you can visit if you want to get outside of downtown. Visit Le plateau and Park Lafontaine(grab bagels at St-Viateur or Fairmount Bagels, Mile-end, Jean-Talon market and Park Jarry. It's very accessible from downtown and you can probably do most of it in one day. Another thing you can do is go from the old port or Atwater market and rent a bike to spend a day on the lakeshore, you'll be able to go from downtown all the way to Saint-Anne de Bellevue which is the west end of the island. You will see wonderful small neighbourhoods and the Lachine rapids where the explorers couldn't go further when they first discovered Montreal, the entire St-Laurent Shore is a park with a safe cycling path. It can also be done in one day and you might find cheaper food because those towns don't have tourist scams as much.

You did list a good starting point for new visitors to Montreal. I am an architecture junkie, so just walking around different neighborhoods is a feast for the eyes. Housing isxbuilt to scale, and not the urban sprawl or high-tise mania that has affected Toronto & Vancouver, and most American cities. You really get to know your neighbors, and shops, markets, bakeries, small restaurants are woven right into the neighborhoods. The Metro is fabulous - like Paris, where each station is a work of art! The beautiful parks, and Mont Royal, along with the delights of the Riviere du St Laurent and Lachine Rapides. It is everything a city should be, though could use an upgrade in the weather dept. I never tire of this cosmopolitan masterpuece! C'est bon!

You say even the bums on the street speak more than one language. No offense but language is really just a human experience. It has nothing to do with high intellectual levels or special privileges. Perhaps those bums were exposed to more than one language when they were growing up and so therefore that's why they speak more than one language. We have this stigma of believing that people that speak more than one language might be the rich and famous or the wealthy or people with great IQs. That is not a fact. Either way I really appreciate your videos and the great information you provide. My sister and her husband happen to be in Montreal right now. This is your first time visiting.

Unpopular comment but GO EAT A BEAVER TAIL! other than the poutine, the beaver tail is what sets us apart from other places! the metro is also very easy to use and paying 1 ticket will bring you literally across Montreal. Its a quick and easy way to travel for 3. 25$ and its really clean and well lit in the metro/underground subway! for those who like bars we also have a lot of hidden bars (speakeasy) that are easy to find online if you're interested: )

X-Men Days of Future Past was shot there. City hall behind you was used for the Paris hotel and the flight between Beast and Magneto was shot in the fountain just besides it.
