I Climbed 400 Stairs Just to Confirm Montreal’s Green Overload

After a 17-hour epic train and bus marathon from NYC, the author spent a whirlwind 24 hours in Montreal and discovered 'greenery in every direction' and an 'all-encompassing view' from Mount Royal after climbing 400 exhausting stairs — because nothing says travel like leg day! The city surprised with a European vibe from cobblestone streets, an underground mall-city maze protecting against harsh winters, and poutine that tastes like Thanksgiving dinner. 'The fries were crispy and greasy — just like I like them,' proving that even Canadian comfort food delivers big-time nostalgia. A short trip, but oh-so-packed with unexpected delights!
