Le Vieux Montréal — Attraction in Montreal

You can’t really come on a first trip to Montreal without visiting Old Montreal and the adjacent Old Port area. The neighborhood is almost 400 years old, and it is home to several well-preserved streets and buildings constructed during the colonial era.

Simply wandering the curving cobblestone streets, with 19th-century buildings as your historical backdrop, is the most popular thing to do here. The whole area is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways, with interesting shops and restaurants tucked in hidden areas.

Old Montréal is best explored on foot, we started from Norte Dame Basilica.
