So you’ve decided to take a weekend trip to Montreal, good decision! As the biggest city in La Belle Province of Quebec, Montreal is playground for local and international tourists alike. From their award winning restaurants and nightlife, to the beautiful natural scenery that dominates the island-city, Montreal has it all. For this reason, FlightHub Review thinks you should be prepared for whatever the weekend has in store for you, planned or not, and has compiled a list of packing hacks to get you through it.
Pack in layers
Depending on the time of year you visit, Montreal can be in the throes of a weather tantrum. Sunny in the morning, windy and raining by midday, and if you’re lucky some snow just before dinner that’ll melt on the ground before you step out for your night of shenanigans. FlightHub encourages you to be prepared for almost anything and only half-believe the weather forecast.
Despite the weather quandary, Montrealers have style. Up until the summer months (or as Montrealers joke, Construction season), the unofficial uniform for the city is black-everything. Black pants, boots, shirts, sweaters, scarves, mitts, really anything you could think of so long as it’s black. If you feel like spicing it up a bit, throw in a gray scarf and call it a day! Whatever it is you bring, the shabby-chic look is always a winner and it’ll take your from daywear to evening wear in a pinch.
If you’re here in the summer, pull out all the stops because Montreal’s very short fashion season is in full force the moment the temperature reaches 15°c.
Leave room for Montreal Bagels
Montreal and New York have long had rivalries when it comes to the food scene. Montreal comes second (after the Big Apple) for most restaurants per capita in North America, making the competition between the two metropolitan areas fierce. But any Montrealer worth their salt will tell you that the New Yorkers can have their pizza, but Montreal reigns supreme when it comes to bagels. The in-hosue rivalry between who makes the better bagels sizzles down to two shops: St. Viateur Bagels and Fairmount Bagels. Both were established by immigrants in the early 20th century, the debate between who makes it better has gone on for decades. Let your taste buds decide, and make sure to leave enough room in your bag to bring these bad boys home with you.
Advil 400
These clear gel-capsules are your gateway to surviving your weekend in Montreal. These suckers will knock out any hangover headache you can imagine, no matter what kind of night out you had. Bars in Montreal have last call at 3:00 AM, making it one of the most fun party cities you could visit. Bar hop on St. Laurent (or The Main, as most locals refer to it) and get a sense of the city’s eclectic night scene. With something for everyone, FlightHub is certain that you earned that hangover.
