Itinerary

Main stop

747 Victoria Square, At St-Antoine, H2Y 3Y9 Montreal

Start your walk at the World Trade Centre. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring a building that stitched centuries together under a smug glass roof.

Rue Saint-Paul, Montréal

Stroll the 1672 cobblestones where fur traders once haggled and today’s painters pretend to contemplate espresso.

350 Place Royale, H2Y 3Y5 Montreal

Stand on the literal birthplace of Montréal — a lawn hiding peace treaties, origin stories, and more ghosts than the museum advertises.

110 Notre-Dame Street West, Es-ce Accessible En Fauteuil Roulant, H2Y 1T1 Montreal

Admire the basilica’s theatrical façade, a stone declaration that Montréal never believed holiness and spectacle should be separate.

Rue St Gabriel, H2Y 2Z9 Montréal

Pause outside North America’s oldest inn, where foie gras now occupies the same rooms that once hosted fur traders and unruly spirits.

167 Rue de la Reine, , G4X 2W6 Montreal

Cross the square that mixes terrace cafés, street performers, and a very British admiral awkwardly towering over French Montréal.

280 Notre-Dame Street East, , H2Y 1C5 Montreal

Gaze at the mansion that once hosted governors, revolutionaries, and Benjamin Franklin — who failed spectacularly at convincing Montréal to join his rebellion.

350 St-Paul St E, Near Place Jacques-Cartier, H2Y 1H2 Montreal

Admire the silver-domed market built to impress everyone and bankrupt no one — now selling Québec pride in artisanal packaging.

Rue Quai de l'Horloge, H2L 0E2 Montréal

Look up at Montréal’s Art Deco timekeeper, a nautical nod to Big Ben that now supervises sunbathers and flirtatious fog.

Montreal

Wrap up your tour at the Old Port. Take a moment to feel the shift from centuries of cargo and commerce to gelato, bike paths, and rollerblades gliding over history.
