Stop 3

Old Montreal is what many visitors come to Montreal for: old cobblestoned streets lined with buildings dating from the 17th through 19th centuries, grand old French restaurants, history museums, and the riverfront Old Port. That's not to say that Old Montreal is completely removed from the rest of Montreal — back a few blocks from the mimes and steakhouses, you'll find warehouses converted to boutique shops and loft apartments.

4

Visited by nearly one million people each year, Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal is an active place of worship and an iconic heritage building. It is one of the oldest examples of Gothic Revival religious architecture in Canada.

5
Stop 5

Saint Joseph's Oratory is the tallest church in Canada and one of the largest domed structures in the world. The Oratory is an important landmark and symbol of Montreal, as well as a tourist attraction. Pilgrims come to visit it from all corners of the world.

The Olympic Stadium is the largest covered amphitheatre in Québec, with seating for 56,000 spectators in the stands and up to 60,000 when the floor is used. The stadium currently serves as a multipurpose facility for special events, including concerts and trade shows, and occasionally hosts matches of the Club de Foot Montréal of Major League Soccer.

7

Sainte-Catherine Street has been the pride of Montréal for over a century. Towards the end of the 19th century, English merchants began to set up shop along Sainte-Catherine Street West. Philips Square saw the arrival of notable department stores the likes of Henry Morgan and Co.

8
Stop 8

Montreal has an underground city, with an extensive network of underground tunnels and passageways. They span over 32 kilometres and connect more than 120 exterior access points. This includes shopping centres, hotels, universities, and office buildings.

9
Stop 9

The Mile End is Montreal's version of Brooklyn, Sodermälm, Shoreditch, and Kreuzberg put together. It’s the combination of both new and old that make this such a fun neighbourhood an attraction worth visiting on a day trip or a night out.

10

The Carré Saint-Louis (also known as St. Louis Square) is one of Montréal's most important literary streetscapes. Famed Québecois poets Émile Nelligan and Gaston Miron called this home. Brightly painted Victorian/Second Empire graystone rowhouses line the square—one of the best leafy spaces in the city.
