Welcome to Winter Wonderland. Welcome to Montreal. That joie de vivre Montrealers are known for never quite extinguishes itself— from winter-sports, indoors and outdoors (yes, outdoors) activities, to the exciting winter and light festivals. (For more activities check out our previous blog)  The sub-zero temperatures feel colder because of the wind chill factor, but if you dress the part, you’re going to love winter in Montreal.

Pack clothing that can be layered. The outdoors is cold, but stores, theatres and restaurants may be quite warm… so layer up!
