Montréal shines for solo travellers

Travelling solo is a uniquely wonderful experience — you get to do what you want, when you want. For starters, the many festivals throughout the year provide a perfect backdrop for mingling, or to simply sit back and people-watch. Pull up a bar stool and chat with the bartender. Hop on a BIXI and discover the many green spaces across the city, such as Parc Laurier (a favourite with locals). If you want anonymity, Montréal gives plenty of space. If you want company, the locals have plenty to say. All you have to do is show up.
