If you’re looking for a little slice of Europe in North America, then visiting Montreal is not a bad option. As the largest city in the province of Quebec and the second-largest in all of Canada, this city is diverse international, multifaceted and a joy to explore. When we were visiting Vermont for a friend’s wedding, Michael and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to drive north to Montreal solely based on the proximity.
