Canada’s second largest, third oldest, and most cosmopolitan city is also a hub for technological innovation and avant-garde art — there’s an ultramodern, global sensibility here that coexists with a sense of the past. Similarly, French and English, once considered the “two solitudes,” have intermingled to make a culture of easy bilingualism that is now a fait accompli for most Montrealers. Visit the site
