7 Places to Visit in Montreal Based on Your Personality Type
Montreal isn’t just a city we love, it’s the place we proudly call home. Canada Luggage Depot was founded and continues to operate here, so we thought: what better way to pay tribute than to share a few of the places that make this city unforgettable?
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering it with fresh eyes, here are 7 must-see destinations, each one corresponding to a different personality.
1. City Girl (or Boy) 🌆
For the best view in town, head straight to the Grande Roue de Montréal, the iconic Ferris wheel in the Old Port. From the top, you’ll get a sweeping look at the city skyline, the St. Lawrence River, and even Mount Royal on a clear day. The enclosed cabins are climate-controlled, making it a year-round activity.
📍 362 Rue de la Commune E, Vieux-Montréal
2. Food Enthusiast
St-Viateur Bagel is a Montreal institution for a reason. These hand-rolled, honey-boiled, wood-fired bagels are unlike anything else you’ll find across Canada. The sesame bagel is the fan favorite, but you truly can’t go wrong with any flavour.
📍263 Rue St-Viateur Ouest, Mile End
3. Nature Lover
Need a breath of fresh air without leaving town? The Biodome, beside the Olympic Stadium, lets you wander through four ecosystems under one roof, from tropical rainforest to Arctic sub-zero zones. Spot penguins, sloths, monkeys, and more in this immersive nature experience.
📍4777 Pierre-de-Coubertin Ave, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
4. Shopaholic
Sainte-Catherine Street is Montreal’s retail artery: a stretch of flagship stores, boutiques, cafés, and theatres that runs through the heart of downtown. Whether you’re shopping for fashion, tech, or souvenirs, this is where you'll find it. In summer, several blocks become pedestrian-only, with street performers and open-air markets adding even more energy to the mix.
📍From Guy-Concordia metro station east toward Place-des-Arts
5. Spiritual
As one of the most iconic religious landmarks in Canada, Saint Joseph’s Oratory is worth visiting whether you’re spiritual or not. Sitting high on Mount Royal, the Oratory offers peace, reflection, and one of the best panoramic views of the city.
📍3800 Queen Mary Road, Côte-des-Neiges
6. Art Lover
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts 🎨
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is a cultural cornerstone, featuring a blend of classic and contemporary works across multiple pavilions. You’ll find everything from Renaissance paintings to immersive modern installations, fashion exhibits, and Canadian design.
📍1380 Sherbrooke St W, Golden Square Mile
7. Thrill-Seeker
Montreal’s very own amusement park, La Ronde, is perfect for adrenaline lovers. With roller coasters, water rides, and family-friendly attractions, it’s a must for summer visitors - especially during the International Fireworks Competition, which lights up the sky all season long.
📍22 Chemin Macdonald, Parc Jean-Drapeau
From scenic viewpoints and local food legends to hidden gardens and thrilling rides, Montreal has a rhythm all its own, and it’s one we at Canada Luggage Depot are proud to move with every day. Whether you’re planning your first trip or your fiftieth, we hope this personalized list helps you experience a bit of the magic that’s inspired us from the very start.
Safe travels ✈️,
