Montreal is the multicultural epicentre of Quebec, and one of the most diverse cities in the world. You can walk from one neighborhood to another and feel like you’re in a different city. Go from the Parisian-influenced Old Port to Chinatown in minutes. Explore neighborhoods, restaurants, and parks dedicated to the many cultural groups who have left their native countries and brought a taste of it to Montreal. Stroll through the Italian and Portuguese quarters; venture outside of the city centre and admire sites devoted to the Jewish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Greek, Indian and other communities. Montreal also hosts about a hundred festivals and activities year-round, many of which are cultural ones. There are too many activities and spots to capture in a single list, but head to these ones to experience being immersed in a different culture for a while.
