With temperatures ranging from below zero to the mid-80s, depending on the season, the scope of activities in Montreal is widespread. In warmer months, expect to be outside – the locals will be. As soon as the snow thaws, Montrealers take to the streets in droves for back-to-back festivals, alfresco … more dining, and outdoor sports. In winter, bring hats, mitts, good boots, and a warm coat so that you can enjoy the wonder of the snow-laden city. Late January marks the start of Fête des Neiges, a festival celebrating everything wintry (www.fetedesneiges.com); or you can forget the outerwear altogether as you shop the Underground City, essentially a network of tunnels connecting major shopping centers and Métro stations.
