Things to do
Montréal is a big, busy, exhilarating city, with so much to see and do. To give you some ideas and inspiration for your next trip to Montréal, you should check out:
Old Montreal:
The oldest neighborhood in the city which contains the site where Montreal was first established in 1642.
People stream into this area to walk, bike, and catch boats or stroll across the beautiful waterfront (known as old Port) during the day, and drink and dine at its restaurants at night.
- In late January, thousands of people don snowsuits and fill the harbor for ‘Igloofest’ as well as other outdoor electronic music festivals.
Mount Royal:
A mountain located right in the heart of downtown Montreal.
Climb to the lookout point at the top, visit the giant cross and look over the entire city of Montreal.
Visit on Sundays for Mount Royal’s biggest draw - tam-tams - a weekly gathering of drummers, dancers, vendors and more. It’s a lively outdoor party and you’re invited!
Saint Catherine Street:
The shopping hub of Montreal: You could walk around for hours and still not finish!
Restaurants, bars and cafes line the street and this area is easily accessible by bus or metro (subway).
The Montreal Forum:
Former home of the legendary Montreal Canadian ice hockey team, and major venue, Place-des-Arts are both located here.
The best time to visit is in the summer when the streets come alive as sidewalks are eaten up by patios where you can enjoy a drink and a meal outdoors.
Musee Des Beaux Arts:
One of Canada’s most visited museums and the eighth-most visited museum in North America, boasting more than 1.3 million visitors.
Place des Festivals:
In the heart of downtown Montreal is an entertainment district known as the Quartier des spectacles.
The place is essentially an outdoor public square built to host huge festivals and crowds. The ‘Just for Laughs’ comedy festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, and a number of other events make use of this space to host free shows and concerts year-round.
The largest interactive fountain in Canada:
With 235 water jets, sits inside this square, as do four huge light towers and two glass-encased restaurants.
No matter what you’re into, Place des Festivals will have something worth checking out.
