Good to Know Old Montreal - one of Canada's most popular destinations - practically shuts down in winter. Even though there's plenty to do and see in Montreal in winter, if your reason for going is to experience Old Montreal, go in warmer months. Don't assume all of Canada has the same weather. For example, Vancouver in winter rarely gets a lot of snow or sub-zero temperatures, whereas Montreal is literally freezing cold beginning in December, with multiple large snowstorms throughout the winter season. Be sure to check the climate of your destination and be prepared for the weather conditions.
