We arrived in Montréal by plane from Milan via Zurich after about 10 hours of travel. We stayed for 4 nights in an hotel right in the city centre. We visited downtown, Old Montreal, the wonderful botanic gardens, the gay area "le village", Mount Royal Park with its beautiful belvedere, Petite Italie, Chinatown, the old harbour area and the underground city (about 30 km of tunnels, shops, restaurants, hotels).
