Discover Montreal

The historic old town on the Saint Lawrence River impresses with 17th-century cobblestone streets, restored stone houses, small galleries and the lively Old Port, where street artists and cafés bring Mediterranean flair in summer.

The city's namesake mountain is home to an expansive park in the style of Frederick Law Olmsted, with hiking trails, a lake and a viewing platform called the Kondiaronk Belvedere, offering a spectacular view over Montreal's entire skyline.

The neo-Gothic basilica in the heart of the old town surprises with a deep blue, star-studded interior full of gold ornaments and wood carvings, and is considered one of North America's most impressive sacred buildings thanks to its elaborate evening light show.

One of the largest outdoor public markets in North America sits in the middle of the Little Italy neighborhood and offers fresh vegetables, cheese, maple products and street food from Québec's diverse cuisine year-round, surrounded by countless small bistros and delis.

Montréal-Trudeau Airport is located about 20 kilometers southwest of downtown and is directly connected to the city center by the Express Bus 747 in about 45 minutes. Numerous airlines offer direct connections from Europe and the US.
