Though
Montréal island is a large 51km by 16km,
the heart of the city is very manageable,
and is divided into Vieux-Montréal - along
the St Lawrence River - a downtown high-rise
business core, on the south side of the
hill of Mont Royal, and the lively Plateau
and Quartier Latin neighbourhoods to the
east.

Sherbrooke,
de Maisonneuve, Ste-Catherine and René-Lévesque
are the main east-west arteries, divided into
east ( est ) and west ( ouest ) sections by the
north-south boulevard St-Laurent, known locally
as "The Main". Street numbers begin from St-Laurent
and increase the further east or west you travel:
thus 200 rue Sherbrooke ouest is about three blocks
west of the Main and 1000 boul René-Lévesque est
is about ten blocks east of the Main. North-south
street numbers increase north from the St Lawrence
River. You're most likely to start by sampling
the old-world charm of Vieux-Montréal . The narrow
cobblestoned streets, alleys and squares are perfect
for strolling, and every corner reveals an architectural
gem, from monumental public edifices to the city's
first steep-roofed homes. Close by, the Vieux-Port
holds the new iSci centre and is a departure point
for getting out on the water. To
the north, in the compact downtown area, the glass
frontages of the office blocks reflect Victorian
terraces and the spires of numerous churches,
clustered within the shadow of the city's landmark,
Mont Royal , which the residents simply call "The
Mountain". Meanwhile, the mountain's eastern plateau
is the spot where the city's pulse beats fastest
as the eateries and bars of The Main throng with
people day and night. On
the city's outskirts the enormous Stade Olympique
complex and the vast green of the Jardin Botanique
are the main pull.

Beneath street level the
passages of the Underground City link hotels,
shopping centres and offices with the Métro.
The table is where Montrealers do much of
their socializing as they typically dine
late and linger long. Sure they linger because
they love the company, but mostly they take
the time to savour the creativity of local
chefs who take each dish to mouth-watering,
eye-popping heights. Montréal is truly an
experience: old world charm, French joie
de vivre and a modern style all its own.
In this section, wander through travel itineraries
and themed visits. Let yourself be transported
into the very heart of the Montréal experience!
