[quote=Anonymous]We went to Montreal two years ago over spring break and loved it.  You didn't mention if you were traveling with kids (ages if yes?), we went with our 5yo.  We walked or took the metro everywhere.  Some ideas:

Things to do:
-the markets - we went to Jean-Talon, but there are several
-Notre-Dame Basilica
-Notre-Dame de Bon Secours Chapel (go up the tower)
-the Olympic Park (take the funicular to the top of the stadium)
-Biodome, Insectarium, and Botanic Garden (next to Olympic park; there's also a planetarium) - we made a day of the Olympic park plus all of these
-Redpath museum at McGill university - it's a small natural history museum

Architecture:
-Palais des Congres
-Habitat 67 complex
-the Basilica 
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Montreal

Food:
-must try poutine - we went to La Banquise
-bagels - our hotel brought them in every morning, but if they hadn't we would have tried somewhere like Fairmount Bagel
-bakery - Premiere Moisson (there was one at the Jean-Talon market)
-Olive & Gourmando for sandwiches and lighter fare

We stayed in Old Montreal, and had several wonderful meals in restaurants there - with a 5yo we tended to end the day near our hotel - but I just can't remember their names (will check and post if I can find them).

Check the weather before you go - it snowed while we were there, and was cold, but still enjoyable.

Montreal was really kid-friendly - DS loved the activities, and restaurants were very welcoming and accommodating.
