Travel guide
Understand
Although a separately-administered city and a separate tourist region from Montreal, Laval is a suburb of the city of Montreal. Much of Laval consists of bedroom communities, shopping malls and big-box stores that need cheaper land than is available in downtown Montreal, making it car-friendly and of limited interest for tourists. There are hotels in Laval which are considerably cheaper than downtown Montreal, although if staying at one of these hotels, a car would be very useful.

Buy
Laval has many suburban shopping malls, such as Carrefour Laval (the largest), Centre Laval, and Centropolis. Prices are a little cheaper than downtown Montreal, although the cost of gas to travel there tends to negate the price advantage.
Eat
Laval boasts one of the highest concentrations of ethnic Greek populations in the country. As a result, there are plenty of good Greek food options, especially in southern neighbourhoods such as Îles-Laval and Chomedy. Recent waves of Middle Eastern and African immigrants have also contributed to the culinary diversity offered by the city, though it is still often overlooked in favour of the food scene in Montreal.
