Montreal
October 17, 2026
Montréal never quite fits a simple description. Wrapped around Mount Royal, it’s a city where two languages trade jokes on a terrasse, bagels come out of wood-fired ovens at 2 a.m., and summer seems built around festivals. From Mile End to the Plateau, and from Ottawa to Québec City to Burlington, it draws in innovators, adventurers, and makers who are happy to keep up with the pace. Come for the energy, the late nights, the dépanneur wine, and the particular kind of mischief that makes Montréal feel like nowhere else.
