Frommer's Crowns Montreal Top City to Visit in 2017 – Perfect for Its 375th Anniversary

Frommer's, the renowned American travel guide series launched in 1957 by Arthur Frommer with his groundbreaking "Europe on $5 a Day," annually spotlights a must-visit destination. In 2017, Montreal earns the honor—just in time for the city's 375th anniversary celebrations, featuring over 175 events throughout the year.

A City of Astonishing Diversity

At first glance, Montreal mirrors many North American hubs with highways hugging skyscrapers. Look closer, though, and vibrant, eclectic neighborhoods reveal themselves. Dive into Mile-End and Plateau streets for trendy bars and restaurants in the city's hip epicenter. Party in the Latin Quarter or Gay Village. Add flair with a stroll through Chinatown. Frommer's 175 recommendations include exploring the Underground City, winter ice skating, squirrel-spotting in Parc La Fontaine, and the charming Old Port with stunning St. Lawrence River views.
