Begin your visit to Montreal in the historic quarter of Vieux-Montréal, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Visitors can tour the Basilique de Notre-Dame and the Chapelle de Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours.
Walk along streets lined with old townhouses, which have been converted into cafes, restaurants and shops. Explore the parkland around the Vieux-Port, an old port along the St. Lawrence river.
Check out some of the city's museums, including the Musée d'Art Contemporain, which is dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. Another popular museum is the Musée des Beaux Arts, the oldest fine-arts museum in the country.
Wander through the meticulously groomed Jardin Botanique. This international botanical garden rivals the famed Kew Gardens in London.
Learn more about improving the environment at the Biosphere, a museum and exhibition hall dedicated to informing its visitors about the importance of environmental and ecological awareness.
Go underground to Montreal's famed underground pedestrian network. Located directly beneath the heart of Montreal is 20 miles of brightly lit and clean corridors, which link hundreds of shops, major hotels, restaurants and universities together.
