Where to go in Montreal

Montreal's highest point and most recognisable landmark is Mont Royal (Mount Royal), a landscaped park with several miles of jogging and skiing tracks and lookout points offering spectacular views of the city and the St Lawrence River. On its southern slope, the high-rises and modern shopping malls of downtown Montreal are intermixed with older buildings, interesting museums and historic churches. Underlying this is the Underground City, an ever-growing complex of underground pedestrian passageways connecting the métro, major hotels, shopping malls, offices and restaurants. The first destination for most tourist and first time visitors is Old Montreal, with its wonderful collection of historic buildings, inviting public spaces and the riverside promenades of the adjacent Old Port. The islands opposite were the site for the Expo 67 World Fair and still offer abundant recreational opportunities under the name Parc Jean-Drapeau. The city's other main attractions are the complex of buildings left over from the 1976 Olympics and the nearby Botanical Garden. What really makes Montreal unique, though, are its neighbourhoods. The Plateau Mont-Royal is an urban village surrounding boulevard St-Laurent ('the Main'), and it was the first place immigrants stopped when arriving in Montreal. Further north, Little Italy's cafés and restaurants surround the Jean-Talon Market. Chinatown lies at the south end of boulevard St-Laurent, adjacent to Downtown and Old Montreal.
