Montreal is the destination of the moment. So, whether you won our November giveaway or not, you should still book an #abovepar visit. After all, there’s nothing better than staying at Hotel Gault, eating at L’Express, drinking at Buvette chez Simone, and shopping at La Canadienne.
When packing for Montreal in the winter, it’s best to prepare for frigid temperatures but warm personalities. The welcoming neighborhoods and bustling nightlife make up for the cold wins, as long as you’re dressed accordingly. From casual athleisure for day-touring to metallic mesh frocks for drinks after dark, here’s everything our editors would pack for a trip to Montreal this year.
