Montreal gained a new gateway this morning as MET, the city's second commercial airport, welcomed its first passengers through the YHU Terminal. Porter Airlines launched service to Vancouver, the first of 11 new routes linking Quebec's South Shore to cities across Canada. For travellers planning trips around World Cup season, the launch adds a timely new option beyond Trudeau.

Montreal woke up to a new travel option this morning. The MET, Montreal Metropolitan Airport, officially opened its YHU Terminal and welcomed its very first passengers, marking the start of commercial operations at a facility that has been more than three years in the making. Located about 15 kilometres from downtown Montreal in Longueuil's Saint-Hubert borough, the airport was long known as Saint-Hubert Airport and has spent most of its nearly century-long history handling general aviation, flight training and cargo traffic rather than scheduled passenger service.

Overtourism is reshaping how travellers think about Europe's most iconic cities. Intrepid Travel's new Uncommon Day Tours offer a smarter alternative: small-group, locally led experiences in Barcelona, Paris and Venice that take you off the beaten path and into the neighbourhoods where real life actually happens. Starting from $89 CAD, these two-to-three-hour tours are designed for travellers who want to explore responsibly, without skipping the magic.

Europe has never been more popular, or more strained. Cities like Barcelona, Venice and Paris draw tens of millions of visitors each year, and the pressure is showing up everywhere: in overwhelmed infrastructure, in residents pushed out of their own neighbourhoods and in tourists who spend hours queuing to see the same things as everyone else. The conversation in travel circles has shifted. It's no longer enough to ask where you're going. The question now is how you show up when you get there.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is bringing the world to Toronto this summer, and new research from Destination Ontario reveals that the excitement extends well beyond the city limits. Nine in ten visiting fans plan to explore other parts of Ontario during their trip, with Niagara leading the way. From thundering waterfalls to Parliament Hill to pristine provincial parks, this is Canada's biggest tourism moment in a generation.

This summer, Toronto becomes the centre of the football universe. Six FIFA World Cup 2026 matches will be hosted at Toronto Stadium at Exhibition Place, kicking off with a historic milestone: Canada's Men's National Team facing their opponents on home soil for the first time on June 12, 2026. That alone would be enough to electrify the city. But according to new research from Destination Ontario, the tournament's ripple effect extends far beyond the stadium gates and city limits. International fans are arriving with well-planned itineraries, and Ontario as a whole stands to benefit in ways that could reshape the province's global tourism profile for years to come.

Holding dual citizenship opens doors to multiple countries and cultures, but it also comes with layered responsibilities that many travellers underestimate. From entry requirements and passport obligations to taxes, military service, and restricted access to consular assistance, the rules differ dramatically depending on where you travel. This guide breaks down what Canadian dual citizens need to know before they book a flight, pack a bag, or assume they know the country waiting on the other side.

Many Canadians carry two passports and think little of it until they're standing at a border control desk in another country, being asked questions they didn't expect. Dual citizenship is a genuine privilege. It can open up visa-free travel, family connections, and professional opportunities across two countries. But it also creates a web of obligations, restrictions, and risks that vary widely from one nation to the next.

Four Seasons Yachts has unveiled its 2027–2028 Caribbean season, featuring 18 curated voyages and 18 new destinations, including the marquee addition of Costa Rica. From whale-watching along the Pacific coast to late-night stays in Cartagena and festive sailings through the Lesser Antilles, each itinerary is designed around intimate marinas and lightly visited ports. This is luxury travel at sea, built around discovery, depth, and genuine connection to place.

The Caribbean has always rewarded those who arrive by sea. There's a particular kind of access that comes with dropping anchor in a harbour too shallow for large ships, or pulling into a private marina where the jungle meets the waterline.

Centre Eaton de Montréal has opened Les Terrasses, Espace Restos, a beautifully reimagined food hall on the Tunnel level of downtown Montréal's most visited shopping destination. Honouring the legacy of the original Les Terrasses complex that stood on the same site from 1976 to 1987, this vibrant new space features 12 carefully curated vendors, sustainable design, and a warm communal atmosphere perfect for locals and visitors alike.

Some names carry a city's memory long after the buildings themselves are gone. For Montréal, "Les Terrasses" is one of them.

Between 1976 and 1987, the original Les Terrasses complex at 705 Sainte-Catherine Street West was one of the most architecturally distinctive shopping experiences in the country. It was a triangular spiral of colour-coded floors, lush greenery, and 140 stores that felt almost impossibly ambitious for its era.
