Montreal has a unique mix of historical, natural and cultural offerings to satisfy even your most diverse tour groups and individual travelers. In 2006 Montreal became the third city in the world (after Buenos Aires and Berlin) to be designated a city of design by UNESCO. What really makes Montreal unique, though, are its neighborhoods. One of its most notable exports is the internationally acclaimed Cirque du Soleil which still occasionally performs in Montreal.
Montreal’s highest point and most recognizable landmark is Mont Royal (Mount Royal), offering dramatic views of the city and the St Lawrence River. The first destination for most visitors is Old Montreal, with its spectacular collection of historic buildings, inviting public spaces and the riverside promenades of the adjacent Old Port.
Located near the St Lawrence River, Old Montreal is the site of the original fortified city. The buildings and streets date from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and have been carefully restored. The area is filled, throughout the summer, with tourists who come to stroll along the cobblestone streets, visit the boutiques and restaurants or simply soak up the joie de vivre among the street entertainers and pavement cafés in the former marketplace of place Jacques-Cartier. Be sure to check out the Basilique Notre-Dame which was built in the 1820’s; a landmark of Old Montreal.
