Destination of the Day
Montreal, Canada
Montreal is one of those multifaceted cities that offers something for everyone. From an incredible food scene and buzzing nightlife, to myriad museums and art galleries, to vibrant green spaces and unique architecture, there's always something interesting to see and do in the city. Whether you want to shop, bar-hop, or simply explore Montreal's diverse neighborhoods, it won't be hard to figure out how to spend your visit.
Things to Do
A visit to Old Montreal is a must for anyone visiting the city. Even if you don't have an agenda, just meandering the scenic cobblestone streets and popping into its trendy bistros and cute cafés is a worthwhile endeavor on its own. If you're interested in spending time outdoors, you will enjoy the many parks and green spaces that abound in the city as well as the Montreal Botanical Garden. Or head below the streets into the "Underground City," a vast network of pedestrian walkways filled with some of the city's best shops.
What to Eat
Montreal's world-renowned food scene will be a big draw for those looking to sample some of the city's best dishes. First up, poutine: that gooey, delicious mess of French fries, gravy, and squeaky cheese curds. You can find poutine all over Canada, but you really don't want to miss out in Montreal. Even if you're vegan or vegetarian, you should be able to find an option to try. Next up is bagels. But not just any bagels—these are Montreal style. These are boiled in water sweetened with honey and then cooked in a wood-fired oven for a satisfying chew and golden brown exterior. If you are a meat-eater, you will also want to seek out a Montreal smoked meat sandwich, popular throughout the city.
Where to Stay
Perched on the edge of the St. Lawrence River, Old Montreal is home to some of the city's best hotels. The area is dotted with boutique hotels that offer memorable stays, whether guests are looking for a weekend of luxe pampering or prefer a quaint experience that's easy on the wallet.

Your Packing List
With the city experiencing hot and humid temps in the summer, pack light, breathable fabrics along with a light cardigan for the evenings when temperatures drop.
Avoid packing synthetic fabrics like polyester or other materials that don't breathe.
Malaysia's Gunung Mulu National Park is a 52,684-hectare slice of karst tropical forest that astounds on multiple levels—some 183 miles of explored caves, including the largest known cave chamber in the world; over 3,500 plant species, such as the rare and extremely pungent Rafflesia; and the soaring Gunung Mulu mountain that gives the park its name.
