An international destination of choice, Montréal is easily accessed by land, water and air. Downtown is a mere 20 minutes from the airport, which handles some 200 flights daily. Visitors will find this compact island city great for walking, and can easily—and safely— explore its vibrant neighbourhoods on foot, at any time of the day or night. Montréal is also multicultural, boasting more than 80 ethnic communities, and enjoys an outstanding reputation worldwide for gourmet dining.

The Omni Hotel is centrally located in downtown, and is rated 4 Star status, and Four Diamonds by AAA/CAA. From the Quays of the Old Port to Chinatown and from Little Italy to the Plateau Mont-Royal, Montrealers love to walk. In fact, this is their favourite way of exploring the city’s lively neighbourhoods, day and night. And getting around here is not only a breeze, it’s also fun. In addition, the Montreal International Jazz Festival 31st edition will be from July 1st to 11th, 2010. The gigantic summer music celebration features 11 days of non-stop entertainment, from noon to midnight, right in the heart of downtown Montreal. Several city blocks are closed to traffic, as right of way is given exclusively to pedestrians, creating a festive and secure spot with cafés and bistros, an art gallery, street performers and a musical park for children. It’s the summer celebration par excellence for people of all ages and origins, a cultural breath of fresh air, and a place for incredible musical discoveries with influence such as Jazz, Blues, Latin-Jazz, Brazilian, Cuban, African, Reggae, contemporary, electronic, and more.
