Montreal Travel Forum

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend booked us a trip to Montreal for the weekend in late March. I was wondering if there are any specific late March/Winter things to do in the city. Some of what I've read is really geared towards summertime (ex: Botanical Gardens) so any great sites to see even in winter and indoors would be greatly appreciated. It is our first time to Montreal and I'm semi-fluent in French my boyfriend is at beginner level.

Thanks friends!

Also - are there real animals at the BioDome, or just replicas of EcoSystems?

Yes, the biodome has real animals too.
There are a number of other nice museums in the city too. There are 2 beaux-arts museums, Point A Caliere is a nice Archeological museum in Old Montreal. You may get lucky and have a sunny day, if so, you must walk around Old Montreal and the Old Port Area. There is a Science Museum at the Port, more directed towards kids, but still interesting, they also have an IMAX theater. Montreal has a Planetarium. There is a connected underground City in Montreal with malls, the metro, restaurants, cinemas etc. It depends on what you want to do or see, Montreal has several more museums, they also have a Casino and really great restaurants all over the city. You may be able to catch a play or concert at Place des Arts.
