Are you looking for a European getaway, minus the jet lag and steep flight prices? Then why not take your girls to Montreal? The history, exquisite cuisine and French influences make this the perfect place to explore with friends.

What To Do:  When travelling to Montreal sightseeing is a must. The beautiful European-inspired architecture is hard to ignore, with lots of history behind each building. Some must-sees during your tours are the Notre Dame Basilica, Mount Royal and the Olympic Stadium, which houses the Montreal Tower, the world's tallest inclined tower at 175 metres high. Just like on any European vacation, shopping is in order, and there is no better place to do so in Montreal than in the Underground City. Home to many great shopping malls, the Underground City also houses hotels, restaurants, galleries, rail stations, Metro stations, cinemas, nightclubs and even a library!

Looking for some group pampering after an exhausting night on the town? Hit up Bota Bota, one of the best places to unwind in the city. The spa is located on a boat on the St. Lawrence River in the Old Port, so you're guaranteed a special waterfront experience with city skyline views. You and your gal pals can chat in the outdoor pool, or have quiet time in the sauna and treatment rooms. When you're done with massages, facials, and mani-pedis, you can dine at the spa's restaurant and leave blissed out and full.
