Explore Montréal
From the Quays of the Old Port to Chinatown and from Little Italy to the Plateau Mont-Royal, Montréalers love to walk. In fact, this is their favourite way of exploring the city’s lively neighbourhoods, day and night. And getting around here is not only a breeze, it’s also fun.
From the downtown area, you can access the Montréal Underground Pedestrian Network, which is used by over 500,000 people daily. A bustling 30-kilometre network of walkways, featuring 1,700 shops, restaurants and an array of services, it connects to some 40 performance venues, theatres and cinemas, not to mention many hotels, attractions and museums.
Shopping
If there’s a trend happening, chances are you’ll spot it in Montréal first. A stroll along themany shopping streets will reveal a multitude of charming boutiques, whose pretty windows beckon with creations from Quebec’s renowned fashion designers, beautiful and exclusive wares for the home as well as treasures in music and literature. Adding to the lively ambiance of the streets are a wealth of cafes and restaurants, whose sidewalk terraces fill up with patrons who revel in the food, sun and scenery come warmer weather.

From five-star restaurants to cozy eateries to hard-and-fast local favourites, Montréal offers one-of-a-kind experiences to tantalize any and all palates.
