    A must see regardless of the renovation / restoration. The ticket price of 16$ is a little much but it's well worth it. It is the first neo gothic church in Canada and the interior is absolutely stunning and grandiose.

    Fun visit to the Montreal Biodome. Enjoyed seeing many species of boreal, tropical and arctic animals and birds. Highlight was the river otter and penguins. Suggest you go to planetarium and watch a film then hit the biodome then go back to planetarium and watch another film. English films are not as frequent as French. $23 for each location.

    MMFA is fantastic! The exhibitions continue to get better each time. I am impressed with the quality of the exhibit, the collaboration that goes into preparing each one and am grateful to have to opportunity to have access to the museum.

    It is inspirational!

    I visited the marked just to take a peek with no intention of buying anything, which I accomplished. I wish I had though, because everything looked so fresh and tasty. Lots of options of meat, vegetables, jams and other local products. There is a couple of places to sit down and have a meal or just a coffee. The ambiance is quiet and cozy, although it can get busy at times.

    RÉSO, lovingly known as the Underground City (or La ville souterraine in French), is a fantastic part of downtown Montreal! This vibrant network connects office buildings, hotels, shopping centers, residential areas, convention halls, universities, and art venues, making it the heart of the city’s central business district.

    If you love shopping, you’re in for a treat! The Montreal Underground City features a wonderful variety of shops, delightful food courts, and plenty of amenities, all in a cozy, weather-proof environment. Getting around is a breeze since it’s super convenient to access the subway and various connections. The food court is especially exciting, offering an upscale array of tasty options that will satisfy any craving. Whether you want to shop, grab a bite, or just enjoy a leisurely stroll, this underground gem has everything you need for a fun and comfy day.

    Visiting the Underground City is a must when you’re in Montreal! Just a little tip: be sure to bring along a good map—it can get quite confusing down there, but trust us, it’s completely worth the adventure! Enjoy your time exploring!

    We came here on a Saturday shortly after opening. The line to get in was quite long if you didn't order your tickets online. Guides at the desk were very helpful. Considering the line to get in, it wasn't overly crowded in the museum. It was very interesting some of the history. They even had some interactive exhibits that the kids would like. Definitely worth a visit.

    The Barbie expo was a delightful stop for any Barbie enthusiast. This exhibit focused not on Barbie's history but showcased various designer outfits on hundreds of dolls, featuring names like Bob Mackie and Calvin Klein. The free exhibit was definitely worth the visit. Keep in mind that it's located in an older downtown mall, which can be hard to find due to limited signage, but the stunning displays of Barbie make it worthwhile. However, the rest of the mall isn’t worth your time.

    My wife and I spent a week in Montreal exploring the city prior to a conference of mine, and came down to the Market twice, the first time to explore, the second to buy food and treats for the flight home.

    The market was straightforward to get to via Uber from the downtown, a block away from Lachine Canal at the south end of Little Burgundy. The exterior of the market was filled with fresh flowers and plantings for gardening season, as well as a multitude of farmers with their produce. The physical market building was filled with charcuteries, bakeries, butchers, fromageries...we had trouble on our second trip with where to buy from, as the selections were plentiful and enticing!

    We came here for cirque du soleil and it was a great venue for a show. Not too busy or crowded and the location is great. Also very cool to see the history and monuments outside and inside the building. The setup was really good- folks working the event nice and helpful.

    We did not go inside museum and up to observation deck. We did walk around the patio. Very cool to see in person. The park it is in is also very cool to drive around.

    Around Bonsecours Street, there are three (3) historical memorials that public influences can learn about: the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel and the museum of Marguerite Bourgeoys. The chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours (Lady of Good Help) is Montreal’s oldest stone church, sitting for hundreds of years.

    Siting very close to the Saint-Laurent River, as the port became busier, the chapel became very popular among the sailors who paid tribute to Notre-Dame-of-Bon-Secours for their safety. The Sailor’s Church interior pays homage to its title with miniature ships suspended from the ceiling.

    Admission is free, but going to the top costs some bucks. However, it gives you a panoramic view of the old port of Montreal.

    Surprisingly big place, with lots to see and do. 5 floors of activities, not just gaming, but live musics that radiates throughout the due to an open central space. Played the slots, but they were definitely not paying out. We went through our budget way too quickly - not expecting to win, but should be able to spend more time. Food was decent. Lots of people on a Friday night.

    What they had was amazing! The beauty of their insect displays were phenomenal and the butterfly room was magical. My only critique was I wish there was more especially for the cost of admission.
