F-R-E-E, Free (Montreal edition)
See All Lists
1. Aires Libres
Each year during the summer months, rue Sainte-Catherine between rue Berri and rue Papineau turns into a pedestrian walkway where you can leisurely stroll the shops, eat/drink/chat on the restaurant patios, and take in the nearly daily events that…More »
2. Festival Montreal En Arts
Montreal, QC H2L 2E1
Canada
(514) 522-4646
Coming from an art background myself, I was super excited that I was going to be in Montreal just in time to see this year's festival. In fact, it was the 1st thing on my list to see on the 1st day there. I headed off with my head full of ideas of…More »
3. Vieux Port / Old Port
No matter what city I go to, or what else I want to see, I always make sure that I spend some time next to the water. This is made so much more fun by cities that make their ports tourist destinations and offer them something to do whilst walking…More »
4. Old Montreal
Warning - tourist trap ahead!
I like 'old' but I'm not sure that I would call Old Montreal 'old.' Maybe 'older' but not 'old.' There is certainly plenty to do here (shop, eat, drink) but most of it seemed more geared towards tourists than locals.…More »
5. Quartier Chinois / Chinatown
Unfortunately this is a quick review. I didn't get to spend as much time here as I had wanted to besides walking through it twice on my way back to the hotel. Both times I was impressed, however, with the selection of stores and the diversity of…More »
6. Musee Des Beaux-Arts De Montreal
In every city I visit, I HAVE to go to at least 1 art museum. I have an art background and I love to wander around the halls pretending that I am even 1/2 as good as the artists hanging on the walls.
The Musee Des Beaux-Arts is located on both…More »
7. Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde
Cha Cha's got it right. Why go all the way to Vatican City to see St Peter's when there's a replica right here? I've been to St Peter's and let me tell you - if you squint your eyes and lean your head to the left a bit, you'll swear you're right…More »
8. Place Du Canada
Montreal, QC H3B 2N2
Canada
(514) 879-1010
Have you ever noticed that many of the best places you end up seeing whilst traveling are the ones that you didn't have on your itinerary?
I happened by Place du Canada for one simple reason. I got lost. I got completely turned around and needed…More »
9. Ville souterraine RESO /Underground City
First off - I found this place bloody difficult to find! Maybe I just didn't understand the concept but I thought that I'd be able to zip down after a visit to the museum and at the point on my map where it said there was an entrance, I'd be able to…More »
10. Rue Prince-Arthur Est
During my recent trip to Montreal, Rue Prince-Arthur Est was one of my favourite destinations. This little strip is pedestrian only in the summertime and offers tourists (and maybe even locals alike) a nice stroll with restaurants and shops all in…More »
11. Square St-Louis
It might just be because me and the boy had a romantic moment here, but I'm now a thorough fan of Carré St-Louis. But maybe that's what you should head here for as well.
The houses around the square are amazing and the square itself has the most…More »
12. Parc Lafontaine
I am ashamed. This park was only a couple of blocks from my hotel and yet when I looked on the map I thought to myself that it was just a little park that wasn't worth a trip. I'm so sorry because it totally was worth it.
This is no little park. I…More »
13. Parc du Mont-Royal
Since the city of Montreal gets its name from this hill overlooking the city, I knew that I had to make at least one trip there. I finally got my chance the last day of my trip when a colleague and I took a trip up there for the Tam Tams festival. …More »
14. Tam Tam Mont Royal
I expected something bigger. Even so, it was a good time looking though all the vendors and listening to the drumming and watching the dancing. Really, I could have done with just the vendors...
Unfortunately, I thought that there was more cash in…More »
15. Quartier Latin
This was one of my favourite areas of Montreal and I made a point to walk through it daily on my comings and goings. It is a very diverse area that will have something to suit just about anyone.
There are tons of shops, restaurants, and nightlife…More »
