Montreal Tourism Guide Top Tourist Destinations and Activities.

Basilique Notre Dame
The neo-Gothic Basilique Notre-Dame boasts a heavenly gilt and sky-blue interior, Limoges stained glass and hand-carved wooden prophets; it even inspired its Protestant architect to convert to Catholicism.

The Vieux Port
Strap on a pair of rollerblades and cruise along the pedestrian-only promenade embracing the St Lawrence River. The Vieux-Port is admittedly touristy, but the views of cobblestoned Vieux-Montréal are simply spectacular.

Musée des Beaux Arts
Feast your eyes on the high-calibre temporary art exhibits hosted by Canada's oldest art museum, the worthy Musée des Beaux Arts, then check out the contemporary art chambers in the basement - especially the radical canvases conceived by Automatiste Québec painter Paul-Émile Borduas.

Schwartz's Montréal Delicatessen
Sink your teeth into a Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich (available lean, medium or extra fatty) - an unmissable Montréal original that will get you through the winter.

Château Ramezay
Get your Montréal history fix at one of the oldest buildings in North America, the Château Ramezay, where Benjamin Franklin almost persuaded the city to become the fourteenth state in the Colonies and which now holds copious art and artefacts.

L'Express
Pick up some of the local joual at the posh L'Express, a Parisian style brasserie on trendy rue St-Denis, by eavesdropping on your neighbours' boisterous conversation while tucking into a deliciously rich confit canard.

Nightlife
Though the boulevard can be gritty at spots, the Main (aka Boulevard St-Laurent) is at its best after sundown when the manifold bars and clubs that open onto the street keep patrons grooving and boozing well into the wee hours.

Mont Royal
Take a break and flake out on the wooded slopes of Mont Royal, the trail-laced mountain that gave the city its name, then hike up to the lookout point for an unparalleled view of downtown.

Biodôme
Cool off during the humid summer months by hanging with the penguins in the Biodôme's bone-chilling and snow-capped Polar Zone, one of four distinct ecosystems living under its domed roof. You can bask in the hot and sultry tropical rainforest section during the colder months.

Cours Mont Royal
Break the bank by shopping at the swanky Cours Mont-Royal, its four floors of streetwear and designer boutiques lit by ornate chandeliers preserved from the building's heyday as the largest hotel in the British Commonwealth.
