Car Rental Montreal, Quebec

Montreal is the second-most populous city in Canada and the most populous city in the Canadian province of Quebec. Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "The City of Mary," it is named after Mount Royal, the hill with three peaks in the city's heart. The city centers on Montreal's island, which got its name from the same origin as the city, and some much smaller outlying islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. The city is located 196 km (122 miles) east of the national capital Ottawa and 258 km (160 miles) southwest of the provincial capital, Quebec City. The city has a population of just over 1.78 million and like all of Quebec, French is the city's official language. English speakers should have an easy time adjusting while many in the service industries speak fluent English.

Montreal Car Rental Travel Inspiration

Montreal was referred to as the "Cultural Capital of Canada" by Monocle magazine. The city is Canada's hub for French television, radio, theater, film, multimedia, and print productions. Montreal's many cultural communities have given it a distinct local culture. Being at the confluence of French and English traditions, Montreal has developed a unique and distinguished cultural face. The city has produced a lot of talent in visual arts, theater, dance, and music, with a tradition of producing both jazz and rock. Another distinctive feature of cultural life is its center's vitality, particularly during the summer, driven by cultural and social events, including its more than 100 annual festivals, the largest being the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which is the festival jazz musician in the world. Other popular events include Just for Laughs (the world's largest comedy festival), Montreal World Film Festival, Les FrancoFolies de Montréal, Nuits d'Afrique, Pop Montreal, Divers / Cité, Fierté Montréal and the Montreal Fireworks Festival, and many smaller ones.

A cultural heart of classical art and home to many summer festivals, the Place des Arts is a complex of different concert and theater halls surrounding a large square in the eastern part of the city center. Place des Arts is home to one of the most important orchestras globally, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. The Orchester Métropolitain du Grand Montréal and the I Musici de Montréal chamber orchestra are two other prestigious Montreal orchestras. The Opéra de Montréal and the city's leading ballet company, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, will also perform at the Place des Arts. Internationally recognized avant-garde dance companies such as Compagnie Marie Chouinard, La La La Human Steps, O Vertigo, and the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault have traveled the world and worked with popular international artists on videos and concerts. The unique choreography of these companies has paved the way for the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil's success. Nicknamed the ville aux cent clochers (the city of a hundred steeples), Montreal is famous for its churches. As Mark Twain noted, "This is the first time I've been to a city where you can't throw a brick without breaking a church window." The city has four Roman Catholic basilicas: the Cathedral of Mary, Queen of the World, the aforementioned Notre-Dame Basilica, the Basilica of Saint Patrick, and the Oratory of Saint Joseph. The Oratory is the largest church in Canada, with the second-largest copper dome in the world, after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
