Some tourists need a friend who lives in the area to tour them around the city they’re visiting while others are settled on following an organized tour for a detailed look at the city. In the past years, travelers have taken the task of showing themselves around the city says Montreal resident Peter Triassi.

The buses in Montreal run from 5 in the morning till 1 in the morning. With well-marked routes, locals and tourists have little chance to get lost. Factor in the friendliness of Canadians, one would always reach their destination with confidence. The Montreal Metro runs four lines, with blue rubber-tired wheels. Locals and travelers can hop on the train from 5 in the morning until midnight from Sundays to Thursdays, and until 1:30 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays.

Montreal is among the world’s friendliest cities to bike commuters. Bixi is a bike-rental system that maintains 500 stations in the populous city, which covers central and outermost areas. Parc Jean-Drapeau, the Île de Soeurs, and Parc du Mont-Royal have bike paths surrounding them. To get a glimpse of the islands while on water, take cruises on the St. Lawrence River.

Some of the most magnificent architecture around the city are best explored either on two wheels or on foot.
