This museum- the museum of fine arts is spread over two buildings linked by an underground passage. It's got a really good collection of Modern European art with works by artists such as Picasso and Rodin. There's also a really good exhibit about Napoleon.

The Basilica of Notre Dame is a wonderful piece of neo gothic archiecture and made me feel like I was on the Seine rather than in North America. You can climb the side towers for views over the town- getting up is quite an ordeal though. The main reason to visit this church, though, is that Celine Dion got married here!

The traditional heart of Montreal is the old harbour and so it seems appropriate to take a boat tour of this area. Tours last about an hour in length. Look out especially for the lovely old clock tower.

The Denver Botanical Gardens are a lovely spot and a great place to chill out and go for a long walk. There is a great conservatory for tropical plants with a real variety of different kinds. The Japanese garden is also very nice and I can really recommend trying to catch one of the concerts that happens here at irregular intervals.

Denver Zoo is one of the largest in the country and has nearly 700 different species of animal living in it. They are spread over a variety of different landscaped areas including the amazing Tropical Disney which is an entire rainforest ecosystem. The underwater polar bear viewing area was another favourite of mine.
