Has Montreal ever been called the shopping capital of Canada? If not, it should be. When snow abounds and it’s freezing outside, you only have to shiver until you get inside the ‘Underground City.’ Below the heart of the city tunnels connect 1700 malls, shops and businesses within 3 and 4 floors deep. It’s not any different than mall shopping, no windows there either. If you start to get claustrophobic, just glance up at the glass dome to the outside world and you should be okay.  photo credit: René Ehrhardt

Downtown you’ll find the shopping strip on Rue St. Catherines (street). Choose from unique shops to large department stores. The serious shopper should have strong leg muscles, so find parking and walk.

Niagara Falls is an amazing natural wonder that everyone should make a point to see at least once in their lifetimes. This set of stunning waterfalls cascades magnificently in an area that would be beautiful even without the falling water to make it sparkle.
