Overview

Travel back in time to the cobblestone streets travelled by early French missionaries, fur traders, and British conquerors on this self-guided walking tour in le Vieux Montréal (Old Montreal). You‘ll get an overview of the historical Place d‘Armes square, with its striking Bank of Montréal, famous Notre-Dame Basilica, and old Saint-Sulpice Seminary. We‘ll walk the narrow, cobbled stone streets of Old Montréal. You‘ll see Montréal‘s first church, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, stroll across the popular Place Jacques-Cartier square, and take in the Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History (Pointe-à-Callière). You‘ll pass the first hospital opened by the Grey Nuns of Montréal and, after walking along the animated Old Port promenade, reach the end of the tour at the Old Clock Tower. By the end of the tour, you‘ll better understand Montréal‘s colonial history and how it became an international destination where some of the world‘s most exciting annual events are held.
