Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

Every week, thousands of people take the industrial staircase at the 5445 and 5455 de Gaspé, in the Mile End. They spend in total tens of thousands of minutes in transition between a space and another, moving between white walls with changing numbers. We want to build bridges in unusual spaces and gather the community around what makes us think and dream. It's time for urban art to take its place in the heart of the buildings, at a human scale. After Barcelone, Amsterdam, Berlin and St-Petersburg, Montreal have its own street art museum. In total, 24 murals created by 24 montreal artists made an unusual space shine...the industrial stairwell!

This is really a hidden gem if you like house museums. The duplex is well restored on the inside and they are currently working on the outside. It is close to a metro stop and very reasonably priced. The self guided audio tour is easy to manipulate and the tour takes about 1 hour to complete.

We went to see the immersive VR theatrical experience The Horrifically Real Virtuality and loved it. Hard to find the words to describe. The centre is really progressive and high tech. Love how the programme is different and experimental but with a trendy twist. Try it.
