Montréal
Montréal
Our Unique Host City
Boasting a unique combination of European flair and North American savoir-faire, it never ceases to enchant the thousands of visitors who come each year to enjoy its lively and welcoming ambiance. The world's second-largest French-speaking city is equally cosmopolitan. Conversations here are threaded with French, English and very often dozens of other world languages. Much of Montréal's appeal lies in the city's unique mesh of modern and historic architecture. Soaring, stately, cutting-edge and eclectic, its buildings have captured the world's attention. In fact, Montréal recently was crowned the City of Design by UNESCO.
Of course, the city's renowned culinary fare is no less cause for celebration. A gourmet hot spot, Montréal will treat your palate to mouthwatering creations by world-class chefs and the choice of 5,000 flavorful restaurants.

"Our sponsorship at NTA allowed our destination to have a really strong presence at Convention. We got feedback from operators who told us Alaska had not been on their radar but now is. It set a really positive tone about Alaska which was helpful as we went into our business appointments."
