Overview
Old Montreal is the city's historic district, founded during the French colonial era in the 17th century, where cobblestone streets and stone buildings evoke a medieval European town. Walking along the Old Port reveals beautiful views of the St. Lawrence River, with summer outdoor cafés and street performances adding to the buzz. Historic landmarks like Place Jacques-Cartier, City Hall, and Marché Bonsecours cluster within easy walking distance. In winter, an outdoor ice rink and Christmas market take over.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (individual shops and museums have their own hours).
Travel Tips
In summer, enjoy street performers and outdoor patios. Take a St. Lawrence River cruise from the Old Port in warm months, or try the outdoor ice rink in winter.
