Montreal souvenir shops that have the goods
Besides snapshots and good memories, we also like to collect mementoes of our travels, but that doesn't necessarily mean getting a trinket from the first tourist shop we see! For yourself or to give to a fan of Montreal and Quebec, there are many places in the city where you can find beautiful and unique souvenirs, as well as gifts for an art lover or sports fan.
