A truly incredible place, thanks for the photos.

To play the role of contrarian very briefly, I don't think Montreal is the most unique city in Canada, much less the whole of North America. That being said though, I do think Montreal is an absolutely phenomenal city, and I absolutely love your photos. Thanks!

I thought this was going to be a New Orleans thread! But great pics regardless - I recognize all the places especially after visiting the other weekend.

Hello everybody! glad you like the pictures. As to why I called it the most unique city in North America. its due to the European fusion with North America and that energy and creativity you'd only see here in Montreal. Plus living in other cities on the continent, none can compare to MTL. Not saying its not the only unique place, but theres just something i can't explain about it. :cheers:

Montreal is my favourite city in Canada. It's just so cool and self-aware.

saint louis square i presume. always reminds me of a tighter lafayette square in saint louis. i could be a-clockwork-oranged and force-fed images of montreal and be satisfied. |
If you define North America as stopping at the Rio Grande, the most unique city on the continent is St-Pierre, France. That's not even up for debate.

Yes indeed, its such a beautiful area, along with all the entire Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. |
I stand by NOLA being the most unique! But yes love Montreal - so photogenic.

I have a high chance of going to New Orleans next month, I might take the time to make a photothread (not that SSP doesn't already have several).
Being used to Montreal it's going to be hard to judge fairly the real "uniqueness" of another city in comparison :P |
what new orleans has going for it is the crazy geography...you feel like you've left the north american landmass and are driving into some psuedo-tropical city state over viaducts, floating shacks, and god knows what. i am sure though that entering quebec has that same sort of funny dissociative feel.

It's mostly the opposite: if you enter the province driving, it'll slowly turn into Quebec and eventually you'll realize you're now deep into it. It's a continuum, and every single one of the areas of Quebec that are just next to a border shows common traits with whatever lies on the other side (usually due to shared history and evolution). |
