If I can temporarily use and abuse your thread for a moment...

Is it reasonably practical or too extreme, weatherwise, to stroll around the latin (?) quarter of Montreal in early January?

Just looking at options for our RTW stops from Dublin to Chicago.
FTers in the *A forum suggested DUB-yvr-ORD (Toronto?) but I'd love to get to Montreal for a walk/eat-around during a day or evening.

I guess it will be a shock for an Aussie, but we'd have been cold and wet in Dublin for a while so will be conditioned for cold, short days.

If it is worth it as a mileage-run style quick visit, please recommend some options for a <24hr stop.
We'd likely take a return bus, as suggested, but not stay overnight.

Many thanks!
