Reasons Why Montreal Makes the Perfect Romantic Getaway

If you’re looking for a romantic city break but Paris is a bit far, look a bit closer to home for another French city which your lover will adore. Montreal is a beautiful city, with plenty to see and do all year round. Here are just three of the reasons why Montreal makes the perfect romantic getaway.

Botanical Gardens

There’s something very romantic about strolling hand-in-hand with your loved one, and there’s no better place to do this than the Botanical Gardens. Go late in the day to make sure you enjoy the Chinese Lanterns exhibition. The soft, multi-colored lights will illuminate the gardens all around you, creating a magical and enchanted experience that you’ll never forget.

Head to a speakeasy

Montreal still has a number of speakeasies, and if you’re looking for an intimate atmosphere, you won’t find much better. The best ones are small and hidden underground so you might need to ask around to find out the location. If they were easy to spot, that would defeat the whole purpose of their existence!

Go kayaking

The Lachine Canal offers peace, seclusion and a very romantic atmosphere so if you’re feeling active, an afternoon gently paddling on the water could be a beautiful idea. A great way to see the area, as well as escaping the crowds, you can opt to hire bikes or simply stroll along if getting on the water isn’t your thing.
