Simple rainy-day plan
- Morning: use RESO to move between downtown indoor points.
- Midday: one museum or gallery stop.
- Afternoon: warm café break + short walk.
- Evening: dinner close to your base (avoid long cross-city hops).
Where to stay for rainy days
- Downtown/Ville-Marie: easiest indoor links and transit.
- Old Montreal: charm, but pack waterproof shoes.
- Plateau: great cafés; keep umbrellas handy.
Packing for wet weather
- Compact umbrella + light waterproof layer
- Shoes with grip (wet stone sidewalks can be slick)
- Dry socks backup
