Your Canadian GP travel guide with Thomas Cook Sport

Promoted: The Canadian Grand Prix is a favourite among Formula 1 fans - and a trip combines perfectly with a visit to the cultural metropolis of Montreal

The Canadian Grand Prix has one of the shortest laps on the calendar, meaning fans see more of the action as the drivers fly around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve once every minute and 14 seconds or so. First held in Montreal in 1978, the race is definitely a fan favourite and this is also a venue where the current world champion has enjoyed great success. In 2019 Lewis Hamilton is hoping to equal Michael Schumacher's record of seven Canadian wins.

Away from the track, you'll find one of Canada's most fascinating cities. Under the shadow of Mount Royal, after which the city is named, Montreal is a key hub for commerce and culture in one of the country's most diverse and interesting territories, Quebec. It's an ideal place to experience your first taste of life in Canada.
