Covering 60 square miles, Montreal is Quebec province's largest city and home to a third of the province's population. The city is set on the St Lawrence River near the Ottawa River junction. At the center is Mont-Royal, a more than 700-foot hill from which the city takes its name. More mountains tower nearby, including the Laurentians, the oldest mountain range in the world, and the Appalachian foothills.
Temperatures vary widely throughout the year, and each season is a bit cooler than you may be used to in the United States. Spring and autumn are mild, as is the long, warm summer which usually lasts from June to September before it begins to get chilly again. From December to March, winter blankets the city in snow.
Spring average 63°F.
