Just one Canadian destination earned a spot on a very prestigious list of the world\u2019s best big cities.<\/p>\n

Almost 800,000 people have weighed in, and Montreal, Que., has been named one of the
10 best big cities in the world in Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler\u2018s 39th annual Readers\u2019 Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

Voters must have been swayed by Montreal\u2019s food, wine, architecture, and art enough to land at number six on the prestigious list.<\/p>\n

With its charming cobblestoned streets, lush parks, and lively cafe culture, Montreal can feel a little like you\u2019ve travelled to Europe without having left Canada.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty to explore, from the historic streets of Old Montreal to trendy bars, art galleries and some seriously good restaurants. Heck, you could even run into former prime minister Justin Trudeau, who has a penchant for dancing around in hardware stores<\/a> (yes, really).<\/p>\n

Montreal had some stiff competition, but managed to edge out destinations like Kyoto, Singapore, Cape Town, and its ever-romantic sister city, Paris, to land in sixth place in 2026.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious about which big city was crowned the very best this year, that would be Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n

And Montreal isn\u2019t the only Canadian destination getting some love. The publication also crowned\u00a0Victoria, B.C.,\u00a0as the best small city in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n
