Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

The past is always present in Montréal! Come get acquainted with its vibrant turn-of-the-century atmosphere as you stroll down Old Town's historic streets on this easy half day opportunity on your way to the airport. Explore large city squares, marvel at architectural splendor, and soak up the savoir faire of outdoor cafes, flower vendors, and old cobbled lanes.

Your adventure begins at the pier in Québec City. Disembark your ship and step aboard a waiting transportation for a comfortable non-narrated ride to Montréal. Arriving in the quaint island city of Montréal, you'll disembark in Old Town where you'll set off and explore this historical district on your own. Your transportation escort will be able to send you in the right direction.

Many landmarks and highlights vie for your attention but there are certain attractions you won't want to miss. Place d'Armes, the veritable heart of the city, offers a striking historical panorama. Here all the periods of Montréal's past are gathered in one place, around a monument dedicated to the city's founders. This section features the oldest standing building in Montréal, the huge church of the city's mother parish, the head office of the country's oldest bank, and the city's first skyscraper.

At the inviting Place Jacques-Cartier you'll discover an appealing spot for people-watching, shopping and relaxing in the sun. Right up until the 1950s, the Bonsecours Market, the city's central marketplace, was open two days a week. Even today, the flower vendors and the artists' easels are discreet reminders of this earlier role. Montréal's oldest street, Rue Saint Paul has regained its former vibrancy and Rue St. Jacques reveal's Montréal's version of Wall Street. For the piece de resistance, however, be sure to leave plenty of time to fully explore the Notre Dame Basilica, one of North America's largest and most historic cathedrals. Built between 1824 and 1829 in the neo-gothic style, Notre-Dame is guaranteed to make you gasp in sheer wonder. Stand in awe before the 228-foot twin towers out front and prepare yourself for even more astounding sights inside. Like the tens of thousands of 24-karat gold stars that stud the soaring blue ceiling!
Everything about this church is bigger-than-life. Imagine the sound that emanates from its 12-ton brass bell, the largest in North America, or the divine music created on its 7,000-pipe organ. The artistry of the sanctuary with its intricate carvings and brilliantly hued stained glass windows is beautiful beyond belief. We highly recommend you step inside the Basilica!
Completing your self-guided walking tour of enchanting Old Town, you'll reboard your transportation and continue your drive to the Montréal Trudeau Airport. As you wing your way back home, reflect on the dramatic views of Québec atop shimmering Cap Diamant and the quaint, historic places you visited in Montréal: memories to treasure for years to come.
