Travel Guide to Montreal, Canada

First settlements on the territory of Montreal appeared in 1535. Today Montreal is a modern metropolis, and thousands of tourists come to get acquainted with its attractions.

The observation of urban neighborhoods from a special area located on the Mont Royal Mountain will definitely become one of the most exciting adventures. Another observation point is located on the roof of one of the city's skyscrapers, as well as in the tower of the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsekur Church. The church is notable not only for its superb architecture, but also for an observatory opened in it. So here you can not only explore the neighborhood of Montreal, but also watch the starry sky.

Near the church is located the main square, where you will find a monument dedicated to the city's founder - Paul de Chomedey, sieur de Maisonneuve. Here you can see the monuments built in honor of Queen Victoria. Mille Carre Dore Quarter is one of the most remarkable places of this city as there you will find magnificent palaces built in the Renaissance style, Baroque monuments, and buildings featuring Art Nouveau style. Probably, the most notable building of the quarter is Meredith Palace.

In the heart of the city you can see the Windsor station, which was built in the late 19th century. At first glance the building looks like a modern complex and it is difficult to believe that the construction of the station was completed over a hundred years ago. Not far from the train station is located the most important religious object - the church of Saint-Georges, a magnificent example of neo-gothic style architecture. The halls of the church are decorated with stained glass, tapestries and fine wood sculptures. The most beautiful mansions can be seen on the Saint-Joseph Boulevard. Tourists are free to visit the expositions of the largest museums of Montreal - History, Local History, the Museum of Indian Arts and Museum of Paleontology.
