What travellers are saying
- sanju_222323New Jersey16,235 contributionsVieux-Montreal is where the city began, and its old buildings and cobblestone streets make it the most picturesque neighborhood in the city. This is where you'll also find the popular waterfront promenade along the Vieux-Port (Old Port).
As you wander around Old Montreal, you'll most likely end up in the lively area by the Saint Lawrence River known as the Old Port (Vieux-Port). Here, you'll find plenty of things to do, from riding the giant Ferris wheel or climbing the famous clock tower, right through to screaming down a zipline that descends from dizzying heights across open stretches of water.
If exhausted, grab a coffee and sit on one of the sunny patios and just soak up the scene.
In the summer, boat tours leave from the docks here. If you really want to soak up the sun, there is even a man-made beach at the base of the clocktower with views back to the city or out over the river.
all I can say- this is the vibe (Specially St Paul Street and Jacques Cartier Square)Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All upscale still. You can find some good food here. It is uphill from much of the city.Written July 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GrimsbyMariner15Grimsby, UK245 contributionsWe walked this route yesterday but we're pleased we had a map too. There where green and blue signs on pavement and posts along route and we passed some interesting art works en route. It's an up hill route and on entering Mont Royal there are two routes- a 500+ steep stair route and a more gentle paved one. This leads to the Chalet and Belvedere - fantastic views over Montreal and cafe / toilet facilities. It's a further 10 min walk to the cross . Pleased we did it!Written September 22, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
