Montreal
The city of Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec and the second largest city in Canada.
The city of Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec and the second largest city in Canada. It has a very cosmopolitan structure and the number of immigrants is very high. French is an important part of life in this city where the French language is spoken intensively. French is used mainly everywhere, such as traffic signs, restaurant menus, building and door entrances/exits. The fact that this city, where winters are cold and snow-dominated, has a warm climate in the summer season, takes revenge for the winter season with the intense use of parks and open spaces by the people living in the city in this season. For this reason, choosing clothes suitable for the season you will travel will be an important factor for a more productive and comfortable time you will spend here.
In addition to the Canadian cities of Toronto and Vancuver from our country, there are also scheduled flights for this city for a long time. In general, it is normal to encounter immigrants who make transit flights in the passenger profile of the planes within the scope of the qualified refugee supply program and practice of the Canadian country. In recent years, young people and their families have been traveling extensively from our country, especially for university education. The Canadian country applies visas for our citizens, and also accepts entries to the country with the permit numbers to be obtained through various applications before the trip. Long waiting queues and additional procedures await passengers with permit numbers not taken from these applications. For this reason, completing these procedures before boarding the plane will cause you to wait less after a long journey (approximately 10 hours of flight time) and will not strain your nerves. Passport and customs officers will primarily speak French and will use English at your request. After the control, the customs officers will collect the approved paper, similar to the boarding card, before exiting, and make additional controls if necessary. Because the correctness of the answers you give in the forms filled in for entry to the country (such as whether you have milk and milk products, seeds and seeds, fruit, etc.) with you, the relevant officers can check your baggage with additional checks.
There are taxi, metro and bus options to get from the airport to your accommodation. The currency used in Canada is the United States. It is close to a dollar and the city is not a very cheap city. Bargaining during shopping is not valid in this country and city, when you request it, the person in front of you will not understand it, so to speak, they will look at you meaninglessly because there will be no such thing in brain coding. You should definitely wait at the entrance to the places where you can eat and tolerate being shown a place even if it is an empty place. When you want an account, in many restaurants; individually or collectively? If you are going to use a credit card during the payment after the transaction made in accordance with the question, you will encounter 10%, 15% or 25% options or I do not want to tip. Why weren't you satisfied when you chose the "I don't want to tip" option or after you paid with cash without a tip? You may encounter the question. It is generally accepted practice to leave a 10% tip. While the tipping case in the United States can become a bit more strict, almost repulsive with the application of the law, it is not in this situation yet in this country and city.
It is usual to encounter tourists from many parts of the world in the city, especially in the summer season. Another normal situation is that most of the people you will see on the streets are especially young. You can meet many young people who come here for education and then stay here and join the working life day and night. Especially people of Asian origin will come across quite a lot. Of course, here, as in the cities of America; There is a Chinatown, which practices its customs and traditions quite intensely. When you enter this neighborhood, you can feel the country of China inside, from the writings on the signs to the smell. Tea shops, restaurants, massage parlors, etc. All kinds of opportunities are available in this neighborhood.
There is not a very heavy traffic in the city, and pedestrians and vehicles meticulously comply with the rules. Taxis do not travel on the empty roads and wait in certain places (starting point of the squares, metro exit, etc.). When you want to take a taxi while walking on the road, you may have to wait for a long time.
Taximeter application is to be applied meticulously, tip application is not in question here, and your money is given up to the penny unless you want otherwise. The only thing that will disturb you in taxis will be the smell of Asian taxi drivers, who want to eat and keep their food in the vehicle.
The probability of experiencing any language problems with the drivers is extremely low, and it will make your job easier if you show the French language paper of your destination for convenience.
There are restaurants and cuisine options for every region of the world in the city, and especially the restaurants located on the sidewalks, except for the winter period, are extremely enjoyable places. The restaurants, which are in a highly developed state in terms of hygiene, welcome their customers with reasonable prices. For example, you can consume pizza and a drink (cola/beer) for an average of 15 Canadian dollars. There are many shopping centers and you can easily reach all known brands in them. You can always maintain your internet connection with the free wifi facility available in large supermarkets and pharmacy markets where there are many kinds of medicines/vitamins. As in some countries and cities, public internet is not yet available in this city, but it can be found in all kinds of closed areas. When you come to this city and country, the only product that should not be returned without being bought is maple syrup in my opinion. This syrup, which is also used as a symbol on the flag of the country, can be obtained from all kinds of shops and markets. This product, which has a high immune system-strengthening effect, is consumed in all kinds of desserts and products, together with foods such as pancakes and pancakes, and can be used instead of sugar.
One of the most important places to visit in the city center; There is a hill called Mount Royal, which is 1.5 km away from the city center and can be reached by walking and steps, which gives the opportunity to see the city from above. Especially in spring and autumn, a walk here will give you great pleasure. Apart from the museum and botanical garden, the parks located in many open areas in the city center will offer you pleasant moments. Seeing and watching the squirrels right next to you in these parks will add a different beauty. In addition, many basilicas and cathedrals are open to the public. Especially the old city area is a must-see area.
Canada, a country that has hosted the Olympics three times; It is another fact that he realized these in Montreal in 1976, Calgary in 1988 and Vancouver in 2010. There are extremely attractive opportunities in the city center for those who love nightlife. Numerous nightclubs, theaters and cinemas await their guests in this area.
