There were so many things to see and do, but my favorite thing was when I saw Backstreet Boys live at the Molson Centre, which was my reason for going in the first place. There is always great concerts or events going on at the Molson Centre, which is home of the Montreal Canadians if you're into hockey. I loved the shopping.

I loved the shopping. If you like malls then this is the place to go, not only do you have all the amazing shops above ground, there's also the underground pedestrian network, which is wonderful. The best mall to go to if you love shopping is the Eaton Centre located on St Catherine St by McGill St.
Planet Hollywood on St Catherine St is a great tourist attraction as well as a great place to eat. Be sure to check out the Olympic Stadium by Sherbrooke St -- it was the location of the Canada winter games years ago.
Quick Tips:
If you do decide to go visit Montreal, I would suggest going for at least a week because you just cannot see everything if you go any less than that. A car would be needed to get the full experience as there is so much to see and do.
I went on various websites before I went to Montreal just so that I could see what was going on around the city and see where all of the tourist attractions that i may have been interested in were located. Once I decided on the various locations i was interested in I purchased a map of Montreal, so that I could easily find each location and navigate where I wanted to go first, it was a great help.
If shopping is your thing you should definitely take a day for shopping because there are so many great malls and little boutiques, I took a day and went shopping on St Catherine St; we did it all by walking which was also a great way to see everything in downtown Montreal, which we found was the best way to see everything in that area.
Best Way To Get Around:
When we were in Montreal we got everywhere on the metro -- tickets were the same as on a bus and it was so much easier and faster than the bus would have been. We didn't have a car to get around in to see everything but we wish we had because in a car we would have been able to actually get around better and look at everything. Even if you have a car available to you if you visit Montreal we would really recommend that you still take a day to walk around downtown. If you do decide to take a day for shopping, which I would recommend, use that time for your day to walk around because some of the busy shopping is located underground at the underground pedestrian network, which was pretty cool.
