Canadian city named one of the best travel destinations in the world for 2024
If you’re planning your 2024 travel bucket list, Lonely Planet highly recommends putting Montreal on it, if you haven’t already.
The travel guidebook publisher recently released its list of best travel destinations for 2024, and Montreal is the only Canadian city that won for best in travel.
“MontrĂ©al’s all-season calendar of festivals and arts events, changing neighborhoods packed with diverse cuisine, au courant galleries and quirky shops are among the many reasons it has long been one of Canada’s coolest destinations,” Lonely Planet wrote.
“But this year, with new museums, revamped attractions, an ever-vibrant restaurant scene and added transport options making it even easier to reach, this metropolitan region is ready for its closeup.”

Other must-see attractions it says you need to add to your itinerary are Basilique Notre-Dame, Jardin Botanique, and Pointe-Ă -Callière CitĂ© d’archĂ©ologie et d’histoire de MontrĂ©al.
The city is among good company.

If you can’t wait until next year to visit Montreal, it was also named among the world’s best places to spend Christmas.

It recommends celebrating Christmas at the jaw-droppingly beautiful Notre-Dame Basilica.
