Montreal is beautiful! So beautiful that we are taking it for granted. I was eating downtown yesterday and realized that most people are \u00ab dying \u00bb to travel without even considering enjoying the city at his best. Last year, I traveled every 3 weeks about and do you know where was my favorite day!? IN MONTREAL! Thanks to Mastercard x Banque Nationale. In this blog post, I will share with you 5 ways to re-discover Montreal, to fall in love with your city and to make this summer one of your bests one yet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caleche Rides in Old Montreal<\/h2>\n

One way to be a tourist in your own city is by doing caleche ride in the old port. They are easy to find (usually near place d\u2019Armes) and it is one of the activity to do during a sunny day. You have the choice between 53$ for half an hour or 85$ total for a full hour. During this tour, you\u2019ll get to discover the old port of Montreal from a different perspective. This tour shows you where they filmed the movie Benjamin Button, the water front, the archeology museum and more. However, the hour tour covers more such as the bonsecours market and more waterfront. \u00a0This tour will make your discover interesting fact about your city.
\nUnfortunately, according to online reviews, not all guide are friendly and knowledgeable of Montreal\u2019s Old Port story. Talk to them at first, ask them few questions and from there be sure to choose your guide wisely and to not only pick your guide because of the horse.<\/p>\n

Bike Tour Across The City<\/h2>\n

A few months ago, I shared with you my best day in Montreal that was organized by National Bank Mastercard<\/a>. During that day we did a bike tour with Fitz & Follwell<\/a> and it was amazing. I will talk about them in this blog post but there are other companies that offer that service in Montreal! This award-winning guided tours and bike rental company have different tours that are available. For 75$ you can do the South Montreal Bike Tour (that takes you through the Old Port) or the North Montreal Bike Tour (brings you into Montreal\u2019s heart where local lives and in different alleyways). These two tours usually last 3 hours and it doesn\u2019t even feel like a workout! When I did it last Summer, it went smooth and I felt that I was always going down. For 131$ you can do the combo of the South and the North tours! If you want to bring your family, Fitz & Follwell also offers a family-friendly neighborhood ride that is perfect for young children since they take you in quiet streets, laneways, and parks.<\/p>\n

Personally, I am born and raised in Montreal and I never saw my city from this perspective. Biking down the Mont-Royal to ride in a graveyard followed up by a tour of le Mile End and le Plateau was incredible. As mentioned before, I didn\u2019t feel that I was biking for 2 hours, if anything, I felt at ease and felt that I was re-discovering my city. I strongly suggest you do a bike tour with Fitz & Follwell.<\/p>\n

Whoever said you can\u2019t unlearn to ride a bike is a LIAR. That being said, I learnt how to ride a bike at 28 years old in 1 minute \ud83e\udd17 Photo Credit: @mastercardca @nationalbankofcanada #mtlpromos #mtl #montreal<\/a><\/p>\n
