6 Chill Montreal Spots To Walk To While Exploring The City By Foot

Two of the most quintessential things about summertime in Montreal? Sipping on a nice, chilled beer, and enjoying the city’s summer events. Thankfully, living in (or visiting!) the 514 gives you plenty of opportunities to do both all season long.

The city has so many popular and well-known things you can do this summer, but the best memories are usually made in unexpected places.

And thanks to Montreal’s easy-to-navigate streets and super accessible public transportation (for the most part), it’s easy to leave the car keys at home and explore the neighbourhoods by foot instead. You'll realize that there are hidden gems in every corner of the city, and that less is often more.

Whether you prefer to walk around until the wee hours of the morning or just take it easy, Coors Light, the official beer of unofficial moments, is here to give you a well-deserved dose of chill to ensure your next outing is a memorable one.
