Just like the rest of Quebec, the weather in Montreal varies a lot: from snowfall and negative temperatures in winter to scorching hot summers. If you visit Canada in winter, that's a great idea as there'll be plenty of nature activities to try out! Minimal temperatures can drop from -5°C/23°F to -15°C/5°F in January. As for autumn, you'll be surrounded by beautiful colours straight out of an Impressionist painting. Weather is a bit warmer too, so we often call this period an Indian summer. Watch out though, it's a meteorological phenomena: recurrent yet unpredictable. Temperatures in September are still similar to those in August, and it can still reach 14°C/57°F in November. It's the same for spring, with temperatures fluctuating from 7°C/44°F to 20°C/68°F. In summer, weather gets warmer with maximal temperatures elevating at 27°C/80°F in July. As for rain, you'll get some all year-round but there's about a 104mm peak in July and 60mm minimum in February.

Départ conseillé

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: Place des Arts.

Parking à proximité

Parking Guy Favreau, Saint-Urbain Street It's possible to park in most streets, though you must pay when in zones with parking meters. Pay attention to road signs, because there may be some zones reserved only to residents with a tax disk. That will be the case if you see a sign with a red square showing the zone's number in the right-hand corner. Also, make sure to respect time limits that are displayed on road signs, as some parking zones only allow you to stay for a certain duration. Others will also display the time and day during which the street must be evacuated for road cleaning or snow clearing. Otherwise, you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise and will have to pick your car up at the pound. Beware: in Quebec, it is prohibited to park on the opposite side of the driveway. Also, if you're parking on a hill, you must turn your tires towards the sidewalk. The police is adamant about this!

À savoir

It's easy to visit Montréal on foot. Plus, the city possesses an excellent transport network, so you're bound to go anywhere with the STM! Like any other big city, you'll find a great public bike system, very easy to use and perfect to explore this bicycle-friendly haven! Montréal is home to around 900km of bike lanes, which allows you to travel anywhere in the city at your own speed. Don't be scared if you're visiting in winter, many paths are cleared so you won't have to worry about any snow.
