Montreal has a mountain in its centre. On this mountain, there is a large park, which includes trails, forest, a lake, and a cross on top. Going on the trails, it feels like a complete escape.
The Montreal metro opened in 1966, right before the city hosted the world expo in 1967. The metro system is one of the most visible legacies of this time, filled with Modernist architecture and design. The trains are on big rubber tires and it's warm in the winter.
