We transport you to central Montreal for the GP stay.  You'll be in the heart of the action for ideal access to the GP circuit and after race entertainment.  

Today 120 distinct ethnic communities are represented in its population of more than 3.6 million, making Montréal a veritable mosaic of cultures and traditions. The world’s second largest francophone city after Paris, it merits the moniker ‘international’ city, a cosmopolitan centre with proud roots in the past that enthusiastically embraces the future. A world leader in such industries as aeronautics, information technology and biotechnology, the city has also made significant innovations in medicine, multimedia, the arts and urban planning. Its avant-garde spirit has not gone unnoticed: in 2006, Montréal was named a UNESCO City of Design.

Niagara Falls
The Destination

Back in 1978, still in search of a permanent home, the Canadian Grand Prix was hosted at the Circuit Ile Notre-Dame in the eastern city of Montreal. How fitting that the eventual winner – one Gilles Villeneuve – would go on to have the track renamed in his honour. This track boasts charisma and character aplenty, with the infamous “Wall Of Champions” ending the races of Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Gilles’ son Jacques all within a short period in the mid-1990s. With a phenomenal amphitheatre-like atmosphere in and around the track’s hairpin, there are few better places to enjoy a Grand Prix than on Notre Dame Island.

 

For those plotting this trip, Montreal provides a vast and varied offering of activities to attempt, delicacies to dissect and natural beauty to bask in. The Notre Dame Basilica for example is a lavish piece of architecture essential for the itinerary, bordering somewhere between the sublime and the outrageous. A true visual cacophony, the grand structure illuminates from the inside with an array of colours bursting from its stained glass windows. Statues, paintings and impressive attention to detail on the building itself makes this worth seeing.

 

Whilst on an architectural note, the Observatoire Place Ville Marie is prime position for taking in all of Montreal’s landmarks. From 185 metres high, sight-seers wil be wowed from all angles with a panoramic view of the city, alongside a helpful narration loop which points out a number of historical and cultural keystones. If heights don’t work, taking things in via one of the numerous boating options is a more than suitable alternative. Sail away into the southern breeze via the Montreal Dinner Cruise for example, and passengers can enjoy five courses of gastronomic delight (and a few drinks) whilst passing through Old Montreal and wider Quebec in its evening glory. Whichever way you travel, be sure to take a camera.
