Having found an excellent Airbnb, right in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal, which we liked so much last time, we had the perfect base for our time here. This area is beautiful to walk around, has lots of lovely and individual shops, and is filled with excellent places to eat, drink, and see live music.
We took full advantage of that, and saw quite a few bands, including a couple that we thought were very good - check out Spirit Animal and Foreign Diplomats if you get the chance sometime.

We took a wander around the old town area along the waterfront, with the old port and the Hotel de Ville (Town Hall). This area is interesting to have a look around, but is of course very touristy, so we tended not to bother with it too much.
Unusually, for us, we even succumbed to seeing a bit of art. In fairness, the main exhibition we went to was the Chihuly glass one at the Museum of Fine Arts, our second of the year, having seen it in St Petersburg in Florida too. There was another exhibition as well, which had some interesting pieces, like a huge globe that reflected the issue of climate change.

Unfortunately, I have somehow lost most of my photos from Montreal; if I manage to retrieve them, I will add them later, but for now, we'll have to do without.
