Montreal Attractions
Old Montreal, the oldest part of the city, is filled with historic wonders such as important buildings from as early as the 1600s: Montreal City Hall, Bonsecours Market, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, and preserved mansions. The Old Port is also a historic trading post that is now also home to the Montreal Science Centre, and IMAX Theatre, recreational facilities, and venues for various events.
As the centre of Quebec culture and that of Canada, Montreal has a wealth of museums that cover the fine arts to history. Other architectural attractions are the Montreal Biosphere, site of Expo 67 whose geodesic dome was designed by R. Buckminster Fuller, and Habitat 67, a visually stunning residential complex compared to that of a beehive.
Another interesting feat constructed here is its Undergrounds City, a vast network of train stations, restaurants, shops, and hotels that is responsible for Montreal's "2 cities in 1" moniker.
Parks are scattered throughout the city, the most notable of which is the Parc du Mont-Royal, which is an urban park atop a mountain with a commanding view of the city.
