Circuit G. Villeneuve & Canadian Grand Prix

Global F1 talent & after-party (early-Jun)

Montreal's annual slot at the top level of the global motor-racing calendar, the Canadian Grand Prix, signals the start of summer for many Montrealers.

The city celebrates the event with gusto: hotels and restaurants decorate themselves with chequered flags and the flood of visitors mean you should try and book anything well in advance for this weekend.
