Montreal Things to Do Tips by rmdw Top 5 Page for this destination

Chateau Mont Royal Mont-Royal Review

In the southwest portion of majestic Mont Royal sits the Chateau. The building itself is beautiful with a small cafeteria inside. But in front of it sits the lookout, presenting one of the nicest views of downtown Montreal.

Directions: You can either walk up from downtown or drive up to the parking lot and then walk up from there.

Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal) Old Montreal Review

This is one of my favourite places in the entire city! Smaller in size than Quebec City but still offering a wonderful offering of historical old buildings, cobblestone streets, great restaurants, and street performers (the latter only in the summer).

If you get a chance do wander down to Old Montreal. It's well worth it.

Beside Vieux Montreal is the port. It offers a number of attractions that kids especially will enjoy.

Victoria Square & Le Centre de Commerce Mondial

Victoria Square sits on the edge of Old Montreal. An inner courtyard right beside it is one of my favourite places in all of Montreal.

This places, known as "Le Centre de Commerce Mondial", is a block of renovated old buildings featuring an atrium with an indoor fountain where the Ruelle des Fortifications (alley) use to be. There's also a piece of the Berlin wall that was given to Montreal for its 350th birthday.

Be sure to look up at the magnificent series of glass that encloses the area.

It's especially wonderful to visit when it's very cold outside.

Address: 747 Square Victoria

Directions: Take the Orange Metro line and get off at Square Victoria. Follow the signs to get to this wonderful inner sanctum.
