Travelling to Montreal for the holiday season (mainly NYE) is an incredible experience shared by thousands of students and young professionals every year. The city comes ALIVE on New Years Eve with its wild nightlife, amazing shopping and overall cool vibe. There are few key things you should know before departing for what many call, Sin City of Canada’s East Coast!

1. Reserve your New Years Eve Montreal Party tickets online before your leave home – events sell out quickly, especially in the month of December. Try to take care of your NYE party tickets before Christmas. 
2. Pack warm clothes and wear a winter jacket – it never fails; EVERY YEAR we spot a few people leaving nightclubs without a jacket. Montreal weather in a word? COLD. And NYE is no exception. So don’t worry about the extra 5 minutes you might spend checking your coat – it’s better than frostbite!
3. Don’t forget your passport – U.S. and Canadian Customs and Border crossings have recently updated their requirements. Don’t mess around with this. Bring a passport and at least one other piece of government-issued identification (you’ll need it to get in to nightclubs anyways).
4. Stop for supplies outside of Montreal – Downtown convenience stores are jam-packed during the holidays so do yourself a favour; stop at a convenience store on the way to your hotel in Montreal if you want to buy drinks or snacks. Use Google Maps to locate a Couche Tard or a convenience store on the way in to the city.
5. If you arrive on December 30, get the Coors Light Bar Hop bracelet
6. Go shopping on Saint Catherine Street (corner Peel is where the action is)
7. Have fun and stay in control. Open bars and late nights are a lot of fun if you know your limits. Don’t ruin your trip by overdoing it.

Whatever you decide, have a happy New Year!
