    We started at the Eaton Shopping centre and finished at Complexe Desjardins which was near to our hotel. I found it quite interesting finding our way through the network of passage ways, although it is definitely not constructed to be a direct route from one end to the other. More likely it was designed to give direct routes between metro stations and the close surrounding buildings. During the journey we came across metro stations, food courts, art installations, wandered into a hotel reception and ended up walking into a vestibule of an office tower. Like other reviews have mentioned, signage and maps are not helpful in navigating the Underground City. We had to ask for directions a few times, and every time locals would always advise us to get the metro, I suppose to them walking is a waste of time. Even when we asked someone who worked in a metro station for directions they told us it was not possible to pass all the way through to Complexe Desjardins! Ignore the locals advice unless they can direct you. Luckily the porter at the hotel we walked into was helpful, and a security guard for one of the companies also helped. Its worth doing once or twice if you have the time, only realised afterwards there are dedicated tours on Viator, might take the fun out of it though.

    It is a huge shopping centre with excellent offer of food in the lower part which we visited a few times and some boutiques and other shops on the entry level. It has also bigger general store at the corner with good choice of fruit and veg.

    Very big shopping mall with multiple floors and sections, not the best laid out for first time visitors. A good place to start a journey through The Underground City. Try Soufflé the Japanese cheesecake place in the food court

    Inaugurated in 1992, the World Trade Centre occupies a full city block where Old Montréal and the Quartier international meet. Its modern architecture incorporates several historical buildings and a part of the old Ruelle des Fortifications. A portion of the Berlin wall offered to Montréal for its 350th anniversary, a majestic fountain, and the mural “Circulations” designed for the 20th anniversary of the Centre adorn the site. Connected to the underground pedestrian network, this veritable indoor village is covered with a massive glass skylight and houses shops, restaurants

    A vertical shopping mall in the middle of downtown that emphasizes fashion, with the inclusion of a fashion show space in the atrium. Lots of clothes stores plus the unusual Barbie Expo.

    I bought some bagels here in a little store; they were just OK. And I think this is the skyscraper mall that also houses the ice rink and the bus station. Very modern and in the middle of downtown, so busy.

    Conveniently located on Sainte-Catherine, the heart of Montréal downtown shopping district. It features a indigo bookstore, Winners, Laura, Dollarama among other smaller shops. The food court has different varieties of food.

    Something just bothered me about digging out beneath a religious relic, listed on the Canadian Registry of Historic places, and sucking the air and soil out of the Cathedral's underpinnings. The juxtaposition was off-putting. It's my problem, I know.

    Realizing that Montreal is a miserable place to spend winter, anytime anyone can seek refuge for dining, shopping, or just not being in the snow is understandably really great. I get that. The up-side is, this "promenade" should (or does?) connect with the "Underground City" and some other extensions.

    God help this poor, unfortunate Arizonan who inadvertently gets caught in this kind of winter weather. I do believe that is why I left the colder regions of the USA. Back to the topic ...

    In 1987, the church sold their rights to the underground land and the church was hoisted up on stilts while the excavation took place. The entry to the underground advertises "the Linen Chest" and we entered, wondering why all these sensible-looking people were making their way down to a "Linen Chest." Curiosity kills cats and (unfortunately) entices tourists.

    We did not explore thoroughly so cannot comment on the linkage to the Underground City. Our only adventure into the Underground (sounds a bit like an episode from Alice in Wonderland or Dante's Inferno) was from its entrypoint on Rue St. Catherine (near Rue Peel) where it was a construction madhouse, both outside on the street and inside as the interior is being renovated. Color me unimpressed.

    The forward-thinking, pro-active approach to filling the needs of the miseraby cold is something that should be lauded. I really need to give it another chance.

    There is a lot of diverse stuff here, it seems that they are organized by vender, which are either very territorial or completely ignore you. While my husband and I were ready to leave a very large man blocked the door and pretty much accused me of shoplifting all because I decided to hold my purse in my hands as to not knock anything over, He first asked if I spoke French and then to see the inside of my purse. Absolutely humiliating! We were in there looking for chairs to go with our 18th century rosewood dinning room table, ready to spend up to $8 000. Never going in there again.

    You can access this shopping complex directly from McGill underground station.

    Has plenty of stores of all kinds, and can also link you to both Eaton Centre and Montreal Trust shopping mall.

    Definitely worth a visit!

    One of the most dirty place I’ve seen in a long time.
    The bathroom experience made me run away without buying anything. A pig house would have been cleaner.

    This was a good place to grab up some snacks and candies to bring home. The store is all bulk so the prices are a bit better and you can get lots of candy types in whatever amount you want. I was able to make up some great treat bags for friends at home with a good savings.
