Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Old Montreal is the historic heart of the city, where cobblestone streets and centuries-old limestone buildings meet the St. Lawrence River. Notre-Dame Basilica features a dramatic Gothic Revival façade and a glowing blue-and-gold interior. Place d’Armes highlights the contrast between historic stone buildings and modern towers. The Bank of Montreal building, with its neoclassical design and massive Corinthian columns, marks the birthplace of Canadian banking. Bonsecours Market, topped by its silver dome, overlooks City Hall, a grand Second Empire building. The Old Port is home to the Clock Tower, Ferris wheel, and cruise ship docks. Rue Saint-Paul and nearby streets are lined with boutiques, great restaurants, bars, and nightlife set in historic façades. The Sailors’ Church reflects the city’s maritime past, while Papineau’s House recalls its political history. Across the river, Habitat 67, a bold stack of concrete cubes from Expo 67, stands as an iconic modern landmark and many more.
