Day in Montreal

19/10/2026
I managed to visit only two Canadian cities in Montreal and Quebec. Located close to each other, they seemed completely different to me.

Good weather, warm sea, not crowded beaches - all this almost never converge on the Baltic coast. And already in the middle of autumn, and even more so. In this case, there should be a reserve plan for marking the vast Baltic coast. Polish three-cities-together-for a long time-one-agglomeration (ie Trójmiasto, ie “Tricities”) can provide such an opportunity.
