The moment you step into Old Montréal, you'll be transported to a different era, with its cobblestones, horse-drawn carriages and historic architecture. As you stroll through the streets, you'll see Notre-Dame Basilica, the historic warehouses, and the charming cafes and restaurants. The architecture of Old Montréal is a mix of styles across the centuries, from Gothic to Renaissance, and it's a perfect place to take a stunning picture. You can also take a guided tour to learn more about the history of the area and the stories behind the buildings. Old Montréal is home to many museums, such as the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Archaeology and History, that allow you to explore the history of the city and its founding. Old Montréal is a must-see for any first-time visitor, and it's a great way to spend an afternoon discovering the city's past.

The Montréal Museum of Fine Arts is home to an array of art from all over the world, each piece more beautiful than the next. As you wander through the galleries, spread over five pavilions, you'll be able to see works from famous artists such as Monet, Picasso, and Warhol, as well as works from local artists. The museum also has a vast collection of decorative art, from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary design pieces. There is a range of temporary exhibitions that are always worth checking out. Visiting the museum is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon surrounded by art and culture.
Plateau Mont-Royal, the district that gave Montréal its name, is one of the city’s most fashionable areas, though it’s just beyond the reach of the hop-on-hop-off bus route. Known for its bohemian atmosphere and trendy vibe, this vibrant neighbourhood bursts with art, music, and creativity. Home to the Quebec Conservatory of Music, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and numerous theatres, it’s a cultural hub worth exploring. Venture here for the breathtaking panoramic views across the city and immerse yourself in a truly local Montréal experience.
The Jean-Talon Market is a vibrant, bustling hub that immerses all your senses. As you step inside, you’re greeted by the mouth-watering aroma of fresh produce, spices, and baked goods. One of the largest farmers' markets in North America, it’s a treasure trove of locally-sourced fruits, vegetables, and unique finds you might not encounter anywhere else. Vendors here are friendly and often encourage sampling before you buy. Wander through to discover unique souvenirs, from handmade crafts to vintage clothing, with plenty of charming cafés and restaurants nearby. Please note: Jean-Talon Market is not located on the hop-on-hop-off bus route.
One of the most important botanic gardens in the world, Montréal Botanical Garden is a true feast for the senses. As you wander through the winding paths, you'll be able to see brightly colored flowers, towering trees and delicate butterflies fluttering around. It's a perfect place for families to enjoy together, children can run through the fields of wildflowers and explore the different sections of the garden, such as the Chinese, Japanese and First Nations Gardens.
Poutine is one of the most famous Canadian dishes, and it's probably the best French fries you’ll ever taste. Most restaurants in the city will serve the dish fries, cheese curds and gravy. Poutine used to be mocked by other Canadians but now it has become an iconic Québécois meal. It’s not the healthiest of dishes but it is delicious.
If you're a lover of music, theatre, or dance, then you're sure to find a performance that will delight you at the Place des Arts. This is the largest arts center in Canada and the hub of Montréal’s cultural scene. The Place des Arts is also home to several of the city's most well-known theaters, Montréal Symphony Orchestra and L’Opéra de Montréal.
