Where is Montreal?

Montreal is the largest city in Quebec, located in eastern Canada on an island where the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers meet. It’s just north of the U.S. border, about an hour’s drive from New York State.

Montreal is in a great spot for travel, both within Canada and to the U.S. Its location makes it easy to explore nearby cities or enjoy weekend getaways across the border.
