Old Montréal and the Quays of the Old Port

Like fine wine, Montréal comes with its own set of adjectives: irresistible, vibrant, passionate, cosmopolitan and definitely festive! Explore Montréal by foot and discover for yourself what makes this city so unique.

Set between the St. Lawrence River and modern downtown skyscrapers, Old Montréal is the tourist heart of the city for good reason: its winding streets lined with quaint 19th-century buildings recall a bygone era with their gas lamps and horse-drawn carriages. Wander on the Quays of the Old Port. This 2.5-km recreational park is great for outdoor activities. Rent a bike or inline skates and explore the bike path next to the Lachine Canal. Discover the waterfront's rich history during a day or evening cruise. For a breathtaking adventure, take a ride on the wild side and try jet boating on the Lachine Rapids.
