Montréal 17.4.-20.4.

Posted byInes MaderPosted inUncategorized

We totally liked Montréal! Not quite as cute as Québec but also less touristy and as our hotel was located in the city centre, restaurants, museums, parks etc. were all within walking distance. 😃

Typical houses in Montréal.
Blick auf Montréal vom Parc du Mont-Royal aus (woher die Stadt wohl ihren Namen hat? 🤔)

Mount Royal borders Mount Royal cemetery which we walked through in order to get to Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal. The cemetery hosts quite a range of wild animals. We saw a groundhog, probably a marten (?) and this really big woodpecker!

Top of Saint Joseph’s, there’s usually a nice garden/park-like area around the building but unfortunately it’s been under reconstruction.
Am 19.4. bot sich uns frühmorgens dieser Blick aus dem Hotelfenster: auf dem am Tag zuvor noch grünen Innenhof liegt gar nicht einmal so wenig Schnee und es schneit munter vor sich hin…
Also wieder einmal Zeit, sich ins Museum zu begeben 🤩

We chose the Musée des beaux-arts Montréal and we were not disappointed. Both of us being art-lovers, and having been to numerous galleries together, we enjoyed the exhibition a lot, especially the sections displaying Canadian and Contemporary art.
