Montreal is a bustling city that hosts a lot of events and is known to hold 20 of the grandest conventions every year. Being the largest city in Quebec and the second-largest city in Canada, Montreal is a metropolis where you can walk out on the streets at night and be surprised to see celebrations happening as you stroll around the neighborhood. Whether you are in the city for a particular occasion or if you simply happen to come between events, you can be assured that there is always something to look forward to and be surprised because of all happenings all year round.
Given its breathtaking architecture, funky nightlife, and scrumptious food scene, Montreal is a marvelous place to experience the grandeur of the European style of living without needing to travel outside of Canada.
Montreal is a huge city with a lot of thrill and excitement in store for people from different walks of life, especially in the downtown area. It is the best place to familiarize oneself and get a good vibe of the city with all kinds of watering holes, diners, bistros, cafes, cinemas, museums, and retail stores. In addition, you will also find a few historic churches in the area. In case the weather isn’t favorable for walking the streets, know that you can always travel and move about the city through the Underground City passageways.
Take time to visit the renowned Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and be in awe with its collection of the finest Canadian art. In case you are hungry, make sure to visit Joe’s Beef and taste one of the best domestic meat cuisines that Montreal offers. After you’ve had your fill and have the energy to continue your exploit of the city, take a quick visit to rue Sainte-Catherine and cap things off in one of Montreal’s jazz bars to enjoy a live performance. In case you are into Jazz music, you might want to visit Montreal in the summer and take part in the celebration of the Jazz festival.
Start your day by having breakfast at Montreal’s world-renowned St-Viateaur Bagel at its original location in Mile End and be amazed at the view of how the bagels are made. In case your accommodation is in a different area, know for a fact that there are several locations found throughout the city. Although the place does not offer provision for a dining area, you may simply take your order and savor the goodness on a bench outside.
Once you’re done eating, take a walk to the city’s main park at Parc du Mont-Royal and explore the different paths to hike and make it to the top of Mont-Royal by following the marks pointing the way to reach Chalet Du Mont-Royal and be amazed by the breathtaking view of the city, the river, and the Jacques-Cartier bridge. In case you’re not much into hiking, you may simply enjoy having a picnic on the open lawns or have fun skiing in winter.
By the time you have reached the top to enjoy the views, you will probably have an appetite to gorge on a plate of poutine at Au Pied de Cochon or La Banquise or La Classique. In case these places seem pricey for your budget, note that there are casual eateries in the area that have about 30 different types of the same dish.
After having your energy replenished, it’s time to burn those calories by exploring the different shops and local flavors found at Boulevard St-Laurent. You can enjoy a frenzy bar-hopping experience by having a cocktail at La Distillerie No. 1 before taking a trip to the calm and casual bars on Rue St-Denis. In case you are into loud music at clubs and dancing, Quartier Latin is the perfect to-go place you have to see.
In case you need a late-night snack, just before you retire for the day, you can grab a bite at Schwartz’s Deli given that they are open around the clock.
Concluding your 3-day itinerary in Montreal won’t be complete without having to visit Old Montreal and the Old Port.
Assuming that you woke up late after a night of partying at Quartier Latin, start your day by having brunch at Mile End. If you would like to have deliciously handcrafted scones and jam with clotted cream for breakfast, Lawrence Restaurant is the place to be. If you aren’t lucky with having to wait too long in line, you may go ahead and have some of the local meat at Boucherie Lawrence, just a few doors along the same street.
Having had a great meal to start your day, it is now time to visit the Vieux-Montreal neighborhood, which happens to be the oldest part of the city. The city’s sophisticated elegance spreads throughout the different places including its cobblestone streets filled with fashionable cafes, restaurants, and history-soaked buildings that date back to the 17th century. Take your time to scour the area and bask in the glory of Montreal’s history and architecture by visiting the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montreal and Pointe-a-Callier Museum. Make your way to see the Old Port and see the amazing sites at St. Lawrence River with plenty of activities to choose including cycling tours, paddleboat rentals, river cruises, ferry rides, and zip lining in addition to the street performances that are known to the locals.
The fact of the matter is, a three-day itinerary is not enough to cover everything that this huge city has to offer and it won’t be a surprise if this won’t be your last. Be sure to stay in an area that has convenient access to different places of interest on foot, taking a cab, or by metro. Although the hotels downtown can be a bit too pricey, there are a lot of available options to choose from fashionable hotels in Old Montreal and the modest or economical options at Alt Montreal Griffintown.
Indeed, Montreal is one of the best places to visit in Canada. It’s not just for leisure but also business.
Montreal has foreign investments coming from abroad to thank for the growth of its economy. The city is rich in cultural diversity and has a large number of international immigrants and international students and these numbers are constantly on the rise. Aside from foreign investments, marine and air traffic have also reached extraordinary levels in the last year, with more than 18 million passengers and more than 30 million tonnes of cargo handled in Montreal.
The booming population in Montreal makes it an ideal location to attend exhibitions, conferences, and events. The diversity of the city allows for many business opportunities and allows for a lot of business growth. We are seeing growth within the aerospace, life sciences, health technologies, visual effects, and AI sectors in the city, which makes it desirable for many businesses.
If you are choosing to attend an exhibition or conference in Montreal during this time Beaumont Exhibits is capable of helping you manage your timeline to ensure your deadlines are met, avoiding delays.

I love working with the Beaumont Team; I know any project I work with them on is in good hands! The team is professional, knowledgeable, great at communicating every step of the way and keeping our projects on time. Their flexibility to work within our budget is always appreciated and I know on event day, things will go smoothly with their ready assistance.
James, Jamilyn and the Beaumont crew really came through for us on a last minute booth rental request. We had a show in Atlanta and they turned around the project in less than 3 weeks, handling all logistics, setting us up in a professional looking booth and responding quickly to all our questions along the way. Looking forward to working with Beaumont for future conferences.
James and team worked with us for months on an extensive exhibit booth trade show in multiple locations. They were always accommodating with our requests and always easy to get in touch with no matter the situation. There truly wasn’t anything they couldn’t do!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Beaumont & Co Exhibits; this was our third time using them during the ESRI event in San Diego, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. James and Jamilyn from Beaumont Exhibits were the epitome of professionalism, and their dedication to supplying top-notch service truly made a significant impact on our booth rental experience.
From concept to follow through, the team at Beaumont got it right! I was thrilled with the collaboration to see our vision come to life – all with the an excellent collection of support. James and Karen with great to work with and did well to keep the ball moving and ensure we made it to the finish line promptly.
Our 20FT Linear had a custom die-cut logo and digital interfaces, that deployed in Ottawa at the RIMS Canada Conference. We were a show stopper to say the least. When the time comes for another project, I know where I’ll be going!
We had a very positive experience working with Beaumont in the Vancouver Convention Center. The booth they created for us was designed and installed on time and with the best quality standards. Thanks to Maria and James who helped us step by step before, during and after the process.
Trying to plan a trade show in Brussels while being located in the US was nerve-wracking, but finding Beaumont & Co. and Luciana, made it much easier! Luciana went above and beyond when there were shipping mishaps and made sure that we received our booth on a tight timeline. The quality of the booth was great and easy to put together. They really work to meet your needs.
Beaumont Exhibits. We love the new signage. It shows Halifax beautifully.
Just outstanding work all week guys. As always.
The Exhibit Area has been a hit all conference long, thanks to our wonderful partner Beaumont Exhibits, who has made sure our booths and signage have been on point with their top-notch work. Thank you!
“There is nothing that compares to the Beaumont Exhibits booth system; it will be in my mind or even should be the industry standard. Our booth was revered by all who came upon it. In fact, a comment I heard from a passerby was “Now that’s a booth!” comparing it to all the thousands of other booths at the Las Vegas AHR convention”
“MetOcean Telematics appreciates working with Beaumont Exhibits for our trade show needs. Beaumont Exhibits understands the complex nuisances of the industries in which we do business and has played an important role in helping us present our products to clients worldwide.”

We cater to some of the world’s largest defense contractors in the world. We have no hesitations in recommending Beaumont & Co. to them as a provider of quality display materials. The feedback we received has been most positive and we are looking forward to a long relationship with James and Sean as they grow their business here in Atlantic Canada and beyond.”
“Beaumont & Co. was great to deal with in that they incorporated all our design suggestions in a timely fashion and their superior customer service made the this process very relaxed and straightforward. The final products turned out nicely and to our satisfaction – the displays look professional and high-quality. The banner’s LED component allows us to stand out at trade shows/career fairs. They went the extra mile and set-up the display for us on two separate occasions which was very much appreciated. They have also responded to additional follow-up queries related to the products. All in all, we are quite happy with the end product and experience on a whole.”
