Montreal – Top 5 Things to See and Do

In this blogpost we are visiting Montreal in Canada.

Montreal is located in the province of Quebec, in Canada. It is situated on Île de Montréal (Montreal Island) in the St. Lawrence River. It is the largest city in Quebec and the second-largest city in Canada, after Toronto.

As of the 2021 Canadian Census, the population of Montreal was approximately 1.76 million in the city itself and around 4.3 million in the Greater Montreal metropolitan area, making it the second-largest metro area in Canada after Toronto.

1. Mount Royal

Mount Royal Montreal

Mount Royal is the heart of Montreal, a sprawling green space that offers some of the best views of the city. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the park is crisscrossed with trails leading to Beaver Lake and the iconic Mount Royal Cross. Locals and visitors come here year-round to hike, bike, or enjoy winter sports. The mountain is also home to Saint Joseph’s Oratory and historic cemeteries, blending nature, history, and culture into one of Montreal’s most cherished landmarks.

The Mount Royal Chalet is one of the park’s most iconic spots, perched near the summit with a breathtaking view of downtown Montreal. Built in 1932, the chalet features a grand hall with large windows, wooden beams, and historical paintings depicting the city’s past. The terrace outside is a favorite gathering place, offering a panoramic view that stretches to the St. Lawrence River. Whether for a quiet moment or a lively visit, the chalet adds to Mount Royal’s charm and character.

2. Old Town Montreal

Old Town Montreal

Old Montreal is the historic heart of the city, where cobblestone streets, centuries-old buildings, and European charm create a unique atmosphere. Landmarks like Notre-Dame Basilica, Place Jacques-Cartier, and the Old Port draw visitors year-round. Cafés, boutiques, and art galleries line the narrow streets, blending history with modern vibrancy. The area comes alive with street performers in summer and twinkling lights in winter. Whether exploring its museums or enjoying a riverside stroll, Old Montreal offers a timeless glimpse into the city’s past.

3. Notre-Dame Basilica

Inside Notre-Dame Basilica

Notre-Dame Basilica is one of Montreal’s most stunning landmarks, known for its dramatic Gothic Revival architecture. Built in 1829, the church’s deep blue ceiling, intricate wood carvings, and towering stained glass windows make it a breathtaking sight. The massive pipe organ fills the space with rich sound, adding to the grandeur. Whether attending a concert, a wedding, or the mesmerizing AURA light show, visitors are drawn to its beauty, history, and the sense of awe it inspires.

4. Biodome

The Montreal Biodome, located in the Space for Life complex, is one of the city’s most fascinating attractions. Originally built as a velodrome for the 1976 Olympics, it was later transformed into a nature museum in 1992. Since then, it has offered visitors an immersive journey through five ecosystems of the Americas. For instance, guests can explore a lush tropical rainforest or a chilly Antarctic habitat. Furthermore, the Biodome promotes environmental awareness through interactive exhibits. In addition, its sustainable design highlights Montreal’s commitment to conservation. Overall, the Biodome seamlessly combines education, entertainment, and ecology under one iconic roof.

5. Saint Henri

Saint Henri district

Saint-Henri, a historic neighborhood in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest borough, has transformed remarkably over time. Originally a working-class area dating back to the 17th century, it later became a thriving industrial hub. For example, the RCA Victor factory once brought jobs and growth to the area. However, as industries declined, the neighborhood experienced a period of stagnation. Fortunately, recent revitalization efforts have sparked new life. Today, Saint-Henri blends old and new with trendy cafés, boutiques, and art spaces. Moreover, its location near the scenic Lachine Canal offers outdoor leisure. Ultimately, Saint-Henri is a vibrant, evolving district that reflects Montreal’s diverse spirit.
