Montreal

Generally, my wife and I stay at the college residences at McGill University (we still can't seem to shake free of our budget trips of the past). We look at interesting neighborhoods and take a map and spend hours and hour wondering and seeing what we can see.

Look at all the weekend magazines and visit the local events.

Can't help you on the nightlife. We are generally in bed by 8 pm (g). We generally start walking around before 6 am.
