French flair, legal fun, and the best nightlife north of New York
Montreal delivers European vibes without crossing an ocean: world-class restaurants, a legendary club scene on Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Crescent Street, poutine at 3am, and a uniquely permissive party culture. The drinking age is 18, making it the go-to for younger groups.
