Wander Montreal: A Self-Guided Discovery

Explore the intoxicating blend of French romance and North American energy that defines Montreal with our self-guided audio tour, which invites you to take in Canada's most European city at your own pace. Begin in Old Montreal, where cobblestone streets and the soaring Gothic Revival interior of Notre-Dame Basilica carry you back to New France's colonial past. Then wander through the artistic heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal. Climb Mount Royal, the volcanic hill that gave the city its name, for panoramic views of the downtown skyline, the St. Lawrence River and the distant Monteregian Hills. Explore the underground city, where 32 km of tunnels connect shopping centres, metro stations and cultural venues within the largest weather-protected pedestrian network. Let yourself be swept up by the creative energy of Mile End. Make your way through the Jean-Talon and Atwater markets, where Quebec's farmers, cheese makers and maple syrup producers showcase the province's culinary richness. Finally, savour poutine, smoked meat sandwiches and the atmosphere of the BYOB bistros.
