Itinerary

Notre-Dame Basilica

Passing by

And here is the queen of the square, the Basilica of Our Lady, built from 1824 in this perfect neo-Gothic style. Visited by more than a million people each year, it is the mother church of Montreal, and the largest in the archdiocese.
Place Royale

Passing by

You are now coming to where it all began. The Place Royale attests to human presence for more than 1000 years. Let’s take a quick step back in time and into history.
Stop 3

Passing by

You now follow the pleasant promenade of the Old Port of Montreal. This walk by the water offers you a well-deserved nature break.
Rue St-Paul

Passing by

You are now using Rue Saint-Paul. The oldest and richest in the history of Montreal. In 1645, shortly after the founding of Ville-Marie, the route of this street already existed.
Place Jacques-Cartier

Passing by

You are now on Place Jacques Cartier. Before being a small pedestrian square in the heart of Old Montreal, it was here, in 1723, that the castle of Vaudreuil, former residence of the governor of New France, was installed.
Stop 6

Passing by

Here you are on Place Vauquelin, framed by two huge administrative buildings of the city. On the left, the old courthouse and on the right, the City Inn.
Montreal

Passing by

Here you are in a prime location to admire the surroundings. The Ferris wheel behind you can of course be a solution to take height and discover the city of Montreal as a whole.
Montreal Clock Tower

Passing by

You can see at the very end of the dock the silhouette of the Clock Tower in the Montreal sky. This tower, built in 1922, is part of the historic heritage of the city.
Stop 9

Passing by

With its beautiful silver dome, Bonsecours Point of Sale is another emblem of the city. It is impressive and is even one of the Top 10 most beautiful buildings in Canada listed by the government.
Stop 10

Passing by

You certainly find it strange to find yourself face to face with the tower of a bell tower, lost like this, all alone, adjoining the ultra modern buildings of the CHU of Montreal!
Quartier Latin

Passing by

At the crossroads between Sainte-Catherine Street and Saint-Denis Street, the Latin Quarter of Montreal begins. This visit to the ultra centre does not allow you to visit it, but I advise you to come back and continue Saint-Denis Street to Sherbrooke.
Rue Ste.-Catherine

Passing by

Here you are on Sainte-Catherine Street, Montreal’s most important commercial street. And that’s not much to say! Sainte-Catherine Street is the largest concentration of fashion and ready-to-wear boutiques in the country!
Chinatown

Passing by

You don’t need to have a Bac+5 to understand that you’re coming to Chinatown! The magnificent painted wall and the north arch mark the northern entrance to Montreal’s Chinese Quarter.
Place des Arts

Passing by

Here you are on Place des Arts, in the heart of Montreal’s entertainment district. This square, dedicated to the dissemination of the performing arts, was created at the instigation of Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau in 1955 to equip the city with modern and world-class infrastructure.
Stop 15

Passing by

Now you are standing in front of the beautiful United Church of St. James.It is the second Protestant church in Quebec.
Cathedrale Christ Church Cathedral

Passing by

Now here is Christ Church, which, as its name suggests, is dedicated to Jesus Christ. It is an Anglican church.
Dominion Square Building

Passing by

See this beautiful building that makes the angle in front of you. This is the Dominion Square Building, an iconic building in downtown Montreal.
Sun Life Building (Edifice Sun Life)

Passing by

Facing Place Dorchester, this is one of Montreal’s most imposing and perhaps most impressive monuments!!
Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral

Passing by

You arrive, after crossing Canada Place, opposite the impressive Cathedral Mary Queen of the World. You find him a little familiar and that is normal!
Place Ville-Marie

Passing by

You cross the Ville-Marie space. Surrounded by skyscrapers that are reflected in each other’s windows, you feel very small in the middle of this business campus.
Stop 21

Passing by

This is St. Patrick’s Basilica, which you can imagine has historical links with the Irish community in the city. In the 1830s, there was a great deal of Irish immigration to Canada.
Stop 22

Passing by

You do not dream, you spend well here, a metro mouth straight from the Paris metro. This wrought iron entrance, so emblematic of the French capital, was designed by the art nouveau genius Hector Guimard, at the beginning of the 20th century.
Stop 23

Passing by

You enter the parallel world of Montreal, its underground city. Here you are at the World Trade Center, also known as the World Trade Center, which is one of many accesses to RESO, the official name of Montreal’s famous underground network.
Place d'Armes

Passing by

Here you are in the heart of the Ville-Marie district, on the Place d’Armaments. A must-see in Montreal, the Place d’Armaments was built at the end of the 17th century and tells the story of three centuries of architecture.
