Highlights
- Walk nearly four centuries of Montreal in one stroll, from the spot where the city was founded in 1642 down to the river
- Stand before the twin towers of Notre-Dame Basilica, then step inside its famous star-studded blue interior (ticketed)
- Find the history hidden underfoot: a first church traced in the paving, a buried river, the ground where a mob burned Parliament in 1849
- Wander cobbled Rue Saint-Paul to the Old Port and the sailors' chapel, crowned by a Virgin who faces the river
- See the City Hall balcony where Charles de Gaulle cried "Vive le Québec libre!" in 1967
Your Experience
Old Montreal packs nearly four centuries into a few dozen streets, and much of its story is written in the stone: the outline of the first church traced in the paving, a river buried under a square, the footprint of a governor's house.
This walk teaches you to read it. Start among the grand banks of Rue Saint-Jacques, cross Place d'Armes to the twin towers of Notre-Dame Basilica, and stand beside the ground where a mob burned the parliament in 1849. Then follow the city back to its beginning at Place Royale, walk the bending line of Rue Saint-Paul down to the Old Port, pass the sailors' chapel and Bonsecours Market, and climb Place Jacques-Cartier to City Hall's famous balcony before ending at the old city walls. Eleven stops, about 3 km and 90 minutes, in English and at your own pace. Start whenever you like; entry to the basilica and museums is not included.
