While the memory of Jeanne Mance, Jacques Cartier and de Maisonneuve can still be felt on the cobblestone streets, Old Montréal and the Old Port make up one of the city’s most constantly evolving and dynamic quarters, with attractions ranging from cathedrals and museums to an observation wheel and river cruises.
  • Rue Saint-Jacques - One only has to see Montréal’s version of Wall Street to understand the city’s claim to be the metropolis of Canada in earlier years
  • Notre-Dame Basilica - Growing from a humble stone church in the 17th century to a minor basilica erected to welcome some 8,000 parishioners, Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal stands as a majestic testament to the importance of religion and art throughout the city’s history

The visit is from the outside.

  • Gare Montreal-Ouest - Main station
