In this episode of Go See Do Explore, Ashleigh and Christopher take you inside their week in Montreal — a city that feels like a slice of Europe just north of the border. From camping just outside the city to savoring world-class food and exploring vibrant neighborhoods, they share the wins, surprises, and lessons learned along the way.
You’ll hear about:
-
What it’s like staying at a KOA campground outside Montreal (and the trade-offs of camping vs. city stays).
-
Driving and parking tips that made exploring the city stress-free.
-
Their private walking tour — including the epic climb up Mount Royal.
-
Must-see museums: the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of History & Archaeology.
-
A food lover’s dream: featuring bagels, gnocchi, smoked meat, and of course poutine.
-
A rooftop tiki bar, Neapolitan pizza, and Montreal Steak.
-
Montreal’s stunning Notre Dame Cathedral and why the lighting alone makes it unforgettable.
-
The reality of the French/English language balance — and what they wish they’d prepared for.
Whether you’re planning your first trip to Montreal or just curious about what makes this city so special, this recap will give you inspiration, practical tips, and plenty of foodie temptation.
