Montréal is a vibrant city that combines the modern buzz of a North American city and a specific European charm. From the old city and its 16th or 17th century landmarks to the world-famous Underground City, home to over 15 miles of restaurants, clubs and boutiques, Montréal is an ideal tourist destination chosen by over 7 million people each year. It is easily accessible from anywhere in North America and Europe and remains one of the safest cities in the world. Montréal is the first university center in Canada, with the largest student population. In the engineering area, it is host to 5 different universities, and has a vibrant research community, coupled with a very active IEEE Section.

With an average temperature of 5°C (41°F), November is the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities, Montréal’s culinary Festivals, cultural happenings, shopping and spas and cruises on the St. Lawrence River.
