48 Hours in Montreal

48 Hours in Montreal | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

When you only have 48 hours for a quick getaway, you make the most out of it! This year is Montreal’s 375th anniversary and also, Canada Pride! We were fortunate enough to have been invited to celebrate. I used to go annually but one year we decided to check out Montebello and Kenauk and I hadn’t been back until this weekend!

Matt Skallerud's insight:

Montreal has always been one of my favorite cities – it is like the more ‘cultured’ sister to Toronto, where everything has more of a European spin. It is also only a short drive/flight from Toronto, New York, and other cities, making it super convenient to visit when you just want a quick vacation somewhere close, yet amazingly fun!
