MONTREAL’S BEST is an ideal travel guide to Canada’s liveliest city. Written by a pro-author it explores key NEIGHBOURHOODS; details SIGHTS, ACTIVITIES and ITINERARIES; then suggests great spots to EAT. All content (191 entries/246 pics) is original and independent; no recommendations are ads!

This app is part of the TouchScreenTravels series: indie travel apps by pro travel writers.

MONTREAL’S BEST starts with a TRIP ESSENTIALS section to help with planning, which includes coverage of FESTIVALS & EVENTS as well as TRANSPORT info.

A rundown of all the key NEIGHBOURHOODS then helps orientate you, while an ITINERARIES section offers first-timers the ideal way to explore the city using easy-to-follow routes.

Or, if you’re keen on exploring local ARCHITECTURE or ART; delving into city HISTORY; spending time OUTDOORS; or just want to find the best attractions for KIDS & FAMILIES, you might just dive straight into one of these themed sections.

Finally the app details many good places to EAT, DRINK, SHOP. A rundown of key RESTAURANTS, CAFES, BARS and CLUBS, along with many THEATRES, CINEMAS and VENUES, will help ensure that perfect urban getaway.
