 <\/p>\n

Spa Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Treat yourselves. You deserve it. Spa Bota Bota, Montreal’s very own spa on the water, offers an incredibly luxurious Valentine’s package which can include, among other things, a couples massage accompanied by a live harp concert. Or, pretend like you\u2019ve escaped the city and soak in the beautiful baths at\u00a0Scandinave Spa<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Old Montreal.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Skating in Old Montreal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brave the winter weather and\u00a0skate under the stars at the\u00a0skating rink at Bassin Bonsecours<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Old Montreal. Or forget you\u2019re in Montreal and skate on\u00a0Beaver Lake<\/strong>\u00a0on top of Mount Royal for\u00a0a truly magical setting<\/strong>. If you want to take a drive north, go to the\u00a0John H. Molson skating rink<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in St Sauveur where you can\u00a0skate through the forest<\/strong>\u00a0(rather than around and around in circles). And with the chilly weather, the ice conditions are ideal.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Montreal Brunch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Montreal\u2019s restaurant-centred brunch scene is legendary. People here live for the weekends so that they can check out a new brunch spot. From classic options such as bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon at Beautys or a baguette beurr\u00e9e from l\u2019Express. There is not better way to start Valentine’s day than a spectacular Montreal-style brunch.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Carriage Ride in Old MTL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This one is a Montreal classic. Horse-drawn carriage rides last from 30-60 minutes and, despite the rom-com cliche of it all, will dazzle nearly everyone. The old world charm of riding through Old Montreal’s cobblestone roads, cuddled up against the person you love, under a warm blanket and with a thermos of hot chocolate, on Valentine’s Day is just about too cute and perfect to deal with. If it starts lightly snowing while you’re on your carriage ride, you may as well just propose right then and there – you’ll never top that.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Visit Montreal\u2019s Botanical Garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Believe it or not, Montreal’s Botanical garden remains an extravagant attraction during the winter months. Whilst covered in snow, the Chinese Garden section of the park resembles an Asian winter wonderland. Paying a visit to the Botanical gardens is a definite must this winter, and makes for an\u00a0excellent outing for Valentine’s day.<\/p>\n
