Every year in December, Montréal comes alive with the spirit of Christmas. In this French cultured town, there is so much to see and do. Let’s Start with Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal.
Walking into this church is awe-inspiring and breathtaking. The stained glass, the carvings, stunning statues, and its visitors all combine in creating an atmosphere of stunning views and calm for those who wish to view and those who wish to stop and worship.
Other places of Christmas spirit include the various Christmas markets (personal favorites being Marché artisanal Montréal and Marché des Fêtes du Collectif Créatiff), ice skating at Patinoire du Vieux Port, sipping hot chocolate and dancing to the music of musicians outdoors, and of course taking a ride on the Le Grande Roue de Montréal Ferris Wheel for amazing views from the sky!
Let’s not forget where to stay and where to dine for authentic Parisian vibes! Hotel Place d’Armes Old Montreal and Auberge du Vieux-Port are two excellent choices that place you walking distance from all things to do and places to go! The holiday décor is the perfect backdrop for Instagram posts and TikTok reels!
Duc Du Lorraine is a must for decadent patisserie, fromage, and quiche! The waiters are quite charming, and the eatery is full of delicious Christmas treats to take back to your hotel for a late snack! Poutine is a staple in Old Montreal, which can be found in most restaurants with a variety of topping options! Another must try is Gandhi, an intimate Indian restaurant that serves up flavorful cuisine and boasts hospitable and welcoming hosts and waitstaff.
