It is not known as one of the world\u2019s most eclectic cities for nothing! The city is home to all kinds of unique and original shops, restaurants and caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to be planning a trip to Montreal soon and you want it to be active and filled with healthy interludes, I believe I have the perfect itinerary for you.<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-widget-at-glance-viewmap imageurl=&#8221;https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Belem-Cafe-Yoga.-Final.jpg&#8221; targetlink=&#8221;http:\/\/www.cafebelem.com\/&#8221; title=&#8221;Bel\u00e9m Caf\u00e9 &amp; Yoga&#8221; viewonmaplink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Bel%C3%A9m+Caf%C3%A9+%26+Yoga\/@45.519633,-73.584904,15z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x25a3e6b575001d08?sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiZ78i_guzRAhVJfiYKHcMtDW0Q_BIIlAEwEA&#8221;]4409 Boul St-Laurent<br \/>\n+1 514-706-5315[\/expediafittybreaks-widget-at-glance-viewmap]<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-photo-gallery]https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Mont-Royal-2.-Final.jpg,https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Mont-Royal-3.jpg,https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Mont-Royal-4.jpg,https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Mont-Royal-6.jpg[\/expediafittybreaks-photo-gallery]<\/p>\n<p>After slipping into your sports gear and running shoes (so you can be comfortable for the amount of miles you will cover during the course of the day), I suggest stopping off at <strong>Bel\u00e9m Caf\u00e9 &amp; Yoga<\/strong>, a little vegan caf\u00e9 on Boulevard St-Laurent, to enjoy a divine coconut milk latte and their famous acai bowl. Not only that, but if you\u2019re bit of a yoga buff it\u2019s the perfect place to energise your day by joining one of their classes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019ve had your fill of vitamins, why not take a half-hour walk through the city to Mount Royal via Park Avenue, giving you the chance en route to clock up a mile or two of walking or (as I prefer) running. If you\u2019re feeling inspired, you could also make use of the park benches or steps to create your own full cardio and weight training workout. An ideal alternative for staying in shape while you\u2019re travelling.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve finished your workout, what better way to follow it up than with a few essential stretches at Mount Royal Chalet, which boasts a beautiful panoramic view of Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>Then, after snapping a few selfies, I suggest you explore another of my favorite parts of town: the <strong>Old Port of Montreal<\/strong>. It\u2019s about 2.5 miles away, so about an hour\u2019s walk, during which time you will be able to soak up the city\u2019s exciting pace.<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-widget-at-glance-viewmap imageurl=&#8221;https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Venice-Montreal.-Final.jpg&#8221; targetlink=&#8221;http:\/\/www.venicemtl.com\/&#8221; title=&#8221;Venice Mtl&#8221; viewonmaplink=&#8221;https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Venice+Mtl\/@45.503202,-73.556388,15z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x85bc3755a5552753?sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjdtbiUiOzRAhXM6yYKHUq9DZYQ_BIIeTAK&#8221;]440 Rue Saint-Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier<br \/>\n+1 514-985-0686[\/expediafittybreaks-widget-at-glance-viewmap]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By now you will undoubtedly have worked up quite an appetite, so I suggest popping into <strong>Venice MTL<\/strong> where you can enjoy lunch in a chilled-out, sunny setting. Whether you opt for one of their soups, salads or famous poke bowls, you will not be disappointed as everything here is truly delicious.<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-image-landscape imageurl =&#8221;https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Vieux-Port-1230&#215;470.jpg&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-image-small-horizontal imageurl=&#8221;https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Bota-Bota-spa-Final-470&#215;290.jpg&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>To give you the chance to digest and explore the city\u2019s most historic district at the same time, I suggest you take a wander through the side streets of the Old Port of Montreal. Just a few more steps and you can enjoy a rest in my ultimate relaxation space, the <a href=\"http:\/\/botabota.ca\/\"><strong>Bota Bota floating spa<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On board, you will be able to experience the water circuit (and all the benefits of the transition from hot to cold for your body and mind), with the added bonus of a fabulous view of the city. Lastly, to finish off the itinerary, my new favourite restaurant is simply irresistible: <strong>Lov<\/strong> restaurant, on Rue McGill. Here, you can enjoy a delicious, healthy, gourmet supper.<\/p>\n<p>[expediafittybreaks-widget-at-glance-viewmap
