Top 9 Things To See In Montreal Quebec

Among Canada's most varied and cosmopolitan cities, Montreal is the one that is shown here. Any visitor might find this cosmopolitan metropolis with a unique taste of both Europe and North America fascinating.

1. Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal)

Visit Montreal's old heart with cobblestone lanes and homes to stroll around some of the most gorgeous areas of the city. With architectural designs of ancient buildings, churches, stores, restaurants, and cafés, this area boasts of the records from New France in the seventeenth century. Enjoy amazing views of the river in Montreal by walking at Place Jacques-Cartier, see the Notre-Dame Basilica, then stroll at the Old Port particularly if you like to enjoy street events.

2. Mount Royal Park

Reaching Mount Royal Park (Parc du Mont-Royal), enjoy the view of the city. Designed by the same architect who built Central Park in New York, this 200-hectare park has the well-known Mount Royal Cross situated above the metropolitan area along with a system of woodland walkways and lovely vistas. It's ideal for a stroll, a snack, or just downtime from the grind of everyday life.

3. Montreal Botanical Garden

Spend a day meandering about the Montreal Botanical Garden (Jardin Botanique de Montréal) enveloped by the flowery smells. Among the various amenities and attractions housed there are the Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, First Nations Garden, and more than 10 exhibition rooms.

4. Notre-Dame Basilica

The spectacular architecture and the masterfully carved achievements of Basilique Notre-Dame will captivate you even if you're not into religious monuments. I am referring to the Old Montreal church, among the most exquisite and well-liked structures in Montreal. Seeing the stained glass is certainly worth the trip; if you can try timing it to coincide with one of the evening performances or light displays.

5. Later on, it was renamed as Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Discover more than 4000 pieces of Canadian and worldwide art as well as installations at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal). Presenting periods, media, and styles are also the masterpieces of Rembrandt, Picasso, and Monet as well as the greatest collection of Inuit art outside Nunavut.

6. Mile End Neighborhood

Spend a day seeing Mile End, the currently trendiest and edgy area of Montreal, if you have time there. For the best bagels, go down to St. Viateur; visit some of the newly opened independent clothes stores and art galleries; or go to one of the more energetic cafés for lunch. On the walls, there is also excellent artwork, particularly in terms of murals and graffiti all across the city.

7. Saint Joseph's Oratory

Rising highest on the skyline is Saint Joseph's Oratory (Oratoire Saint-Joseph), the biggest church in Canada. One must climb 292 steps or use a funicular train to reach this amazing domed basilica vertically situated. For the hike, the gorgeous city and mountain life at the summit are very fulfilling.

8. Mont-Tremblant National Park

About 90 minutes from the city, Mont-Tremblant National Park (Parc National du Mont-Tremblant) lies almost next to it. With lakeside beaches, pathways to paddle, ATV riding, and some of Quebec's toughest mountains challenging the mountaineers, it is a genuine outdoor enthusiast's joy with an amazing network of trails for hikers of all ability levels.
