What's on in Montréal,
all on one map

Who's behind it

Roam Montréal was founded by Daniel, who has lived in Canada, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Vietnam, and has travelled to many more countries. These days he splits his time between Tokyo and Montréal, and he also runs Roam Tokyo, Roam Kyoto and Roam Osaka.

He works in tech, building tools that gather public information from the web, and he likes knowing everything that's on in a city, so he can decide what to do on a trip or on a free weekend. Roam Montréal does that looking for Montréal and puts what it finds in one place.

What's on the site

Start with the map. Set your dates and it shows what's on while you're here, alongside the places worth a visit, each pin with its nearest station, how long to allow and when to go.

Around the map sit neighbourhood guides for the areas you might stay in, and seasonal collections like free things to do and rainy days for when the timing shapes your trip.

By the numbers

• 234 places on the map
• 15 neighbourhood guides

There's also an events calendar for festivals, markets and exhibitions.

How the site is made

Roam Montréal is a data platform that builds its guides by reading the top travel guides in several languages and keeping what most of them agree on.

Facts on a place page come from the place's own page or an official body, and a fact that can't be confirmed is left off. Photos are added only when they are Creative Commons photos of the actual place, credited to the photographer.

Hotel recommendations

When you book a hotel through Roam Montréal, the site may earn a small commission through Stay22. It doesn't change what's on the map or which areas the guides suggest.
