What travellers are saying
- Eleanor R14 contributionsThe basilica is beautiful. It has amazing architecture and works of art. The lighting at the altar is one of a kind. We also attended the Aura in the evening which is a light and sound show inside. I would highly recommend it. Visiting this church is a don't miss activity. I do wish they had an audio tour with headphones, which you could rent that would have enhanced the experience rather than just a chance to download information on your phone.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- scobroCanberra, Australia588 contributionsIf you like French cobbles streets with great restaurants, bars and busy Saturday nights, then the Old Town is the place to go. Quiet in the morning but really gets busier from late afternoon. Worth it to stroll the streets and try the huge variety of restaurants. My favourite part of Montreal.Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sanjay G7 contributionsRue Saint-Paul is Montréal's oldest street, i bet you can’t miss it but if you are not sure, start from Bonsecours Market. In recent years, the city has made substantial improvements to this street and several others. Sections of Rue Saint-Paul are pedestrian-only areas and during the day, this area is packed with tourists.
history buff, it's for you- Montreal was founded in 1642 as the settlement of Fort Ville-Marie, an early French settlement in the region. The very first street was created near a route that bordered a fort that once stood in the city. The street was created by François Dollier de Casson and was named for Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the city's devout founder. In fact, the city’s founder later established a home on the street in 1650.
In 1672, Saint Paul Street was paved with cobblestones, a look that the majority of the street still maintains today.
Coming to life: If you have visited Montreal, you’ve likely spent time on Saint Paul Street. Today, the street maintains much of its historic look with new appeal. You will find many restaurants, exciting street performers, and a car-free area in the summer.Written July 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seeing all the monuments and stadiums will make you feel as if you are back several years ago when the Olympics took place in Montreal. Not much is open for touring, so beware of that…but it’s still cool to see! We were able to see the Olympic pool in use by classes, which was cool!Written November 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IAN DWigan, UK25,831 contributionsPlace Jacques-Cartier is a square located in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is an entrance to the Old Port of Montreal. The broad, divided street slopes steeply downhill from Montreal City Hall and rue Notre-Dame to the waterfront and rue de la Commune.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,019 contributionsIt's a major crosstown street that takes you through several neighborhoods, but especially the Plateau. We came here for dinner, lots of restaurants here. Nice architecture.Written June 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DrCDBChile1,128 contributionsThe facade of this building is quite nice and it is quite a big building with at least three story levels. There are just a few stores for such a big building are not really that interesting.Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- calgaryguyKelowna, Canada453 contributionsWe wandered Crescent Street for coffee and meals. Somehow, it did not feel as vibrant as I remember from my student days. There were still a few familiar haunts and the atmosphere was still upbeat. Enjoy.Written October 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael KSacramento, CA33 contributionsIt’s a short hike with absolutely beautiful views. Wonderful! You can see so much of Montreal and the St Lawrence from the viewpoint!Written July 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,019 contributionsIt's called "The Main" here, part of the local lore. Historically important as the neighborhood of the 19th Century immigrants, Portuguese and Jewish. Still some remnants, but times have changed, and now this is a desirable close-in neighborhood for gentrification. Still a little sketchy post-covid, too many empty storefronts. But lots of cafes, and it is a major street.Written November 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Caroline4 contributionsJacklyn (spelling?) was an awesome tour guide. She knew a lot about the architect and his life, the history of events that lead up to the building, features and structures of Habitat 67, and what is currently happening there. She provided a lot of visuals to make the learning engaging and fun for a diverse group of people. There was time to ask questions, look around and take pictures. From the exterior, this building did not excite me. Once I took the tour, I was surprised how alive I felt inside one of the units we visited together. The inside of the unit is how I had imagined and wanted classrooms to be during my grade school and higher education years. Finally, I encountered someone with a specialty in architecture who created such a design. i most definitely recommend this while visiting Montreal.Written May 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia49,957 contributionsMont Royal Avenue is a long street in Montreal's Plateau area. It is lined up with cafes, restaurants and a whole range of different shops. It is a large commercial area. We got there by Metro, at the Mont Royal station, and took a walk on most of the length of the road. Quite enjoyable.Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- IAN DWigan, UK25,831 contributionsRunning almost the length of the island, Notre-Dame Street (Rue Notre-Dame) is one of Montreal’s most prominent thoroughfares. The most interesting stretches are in Old Montreal (Vieux Montréal), where it’s lined by historic buildings, and in Griffintown, Little Burgundy, and St. Henri, where antique stores, cafés, and restaurants abound.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IAN DWigan, UK25,831 contributionsWe really only saw it from Mont Royal and passing in a taxi. I was amazed at how large it is. A public work of art capturing the heart, soul, intelligence, and humility of Leonard Cohen.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
