1. For Your Movie Buff Friend
If your friend just watched a film in Albanian with Swedish subtitles last week, they’ll love this:
Head to a local indie cinema!
Cinéma Beaubien, Casa d’Italia, the Cinémathèque québécoise, or Cinéma du Parc—each one offers a unique selection of films from near and far that will impress even the pickiest amateur critics.
2. For Your Active Friend
No need to run a marathon to stretch your legs!
A walk through the Montreal Botanical Garden is the perfect way to reconnect with nature (and hit those 10,000 steps). Bonus: outdoor access is free until April 30! And if Mother Nature throws a tantrum, the beautiful indoor greenhouses are there to save the day. More info here.
3. For Your Artsy Friend
Catch this exhibition before it ends!
Head to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to check out Anri Sala: Ravel Ravel Interval, ending on April 27. This blend of music and contemporary art might even win over your most skeptical friend. Details here.
4. For Your Foodie Friend
Craving something indulgent?
