What travelers are saying
- Chloe ThomasRussell Springs, KY995 contributionsThe Olympic Park is a cool step back in time! Seeing all the monuments and stadiums will make you feel as if you are back several years ago when the Olympics took place in Montreal. Not much is open for touring, so beware of that…but it’s still cool to see! We were able to see the Olympic pool in use by classes, which was cool!Written November 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ray TMontreal, Canada119 contributionsI attended several festivals in this area this summer. There a plenty of activities here, to watch, to participate or just enjoy a stroll on St-Catherine Street. It is closed off to cars, so the only traffic you have is foot traffic. I definitely recommend you drop by for at least one of many festivals during the summer in Montreal.Written August 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,104 contributionsI am so upset that I did not discover this part of town until we were at the end of our stay in Montreal. I would have returned many times. Nice long walks with lots of interesting things to look at and lots of historic markers explaining what had been along the Canal. Great for bikes also and some good picnic spots. Plus places for coffee. A gem of the city.Written June 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MMC_LadyLondon, UK77 contributionsSpent five days in Montreal, and on my last day before taking my flight home, I visited Parc Jean—Drapeau, It was easy to get to travelling by train. As soon as out of the station that you see the iconic biosphere - this geodesic dome fits in well with nature. It is a museum about the environment. Lush green and vast. I did not spend as long as I would have like to but it is worth a visit.Written February 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,104 contributionsIt's an attractive upscale neighborhood, developed in the early 20th Century. So the buildings have some old charm. There is a shopping district here as well with bagels.Written June 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FoodangeManchester, UK2,891 contributionsWe walked through this lovely cobbled square a few times.
It’s pedestrian only, a rarity in Montreal.
Surrounded by restaurants and cafés with the gardens of Château Ramezay on one side.
Also a statue of Nelson for some reason. There’s even a Jardin Nelson opposite. Reminds us of the time there was a Titanic exhibition in some museum on Route 66!Written December 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a major park for the city and much used. Located in the middle of crowded residential areas.Written November 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheMahdiBoracay, Philippines164 contributionsIts an archtectural landmark with a beautiful view to sunset while facing the Montreal City.
It has direct access via City Metro.
Though we arrived late in the afternoon and the bulding which i think consist of museum or gallery like place was closed but the vicinity itself was beautiful.
I suggest you to use the Metro since in the winter not all buses in Montreal function.
We went to bus stop and waited for bus #777 which didnt show up.
Later as we asked the locals they say if a bus route doesnt have passengers along the way either they reschedule the bus hours or just cancel their trip and that happen to us qhen we wanted to ride bus #777.
It has very cold breezy nights so cover up well and wear your cloths accordingly. Since its an open area and windy the tempreture is lower than the city.Written December 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We came here for dinner, lots of restaurants here. Nice architecture.Written June 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- helenandpaul13Worcester, UK1,660 contributionsI went here for the day with my wife. You get the tube from Guy Concordia and when you get off at the station walk away from the station down the main road. About 400 yards down on the opposite side of the road you will see the place with the Jewish flag outside. We had to check our bags in and we paid $16 for the pair of us.
For anyone needing the loo, its down a passage near the cafe and then down in the lift to the bathrooms. We went in to the centre and saw all the items on view. There is a lot of information which explains the history of the Jews in Germany and the effect of Nazism on them.
The worst part of this visit was that there was a group of teenage school children there who were constantly walking around, hitting each other and being totally disrespectful to the museum and the items on display. If we were watching a video we could not concentrate because of the racket they kept making. At one point turned to some of them and asked if they had no respect the museum and the items on display. I heard some students mention some English person and I knew they were talking about me because their behaviour was disgraceful.
At the end of the visit we mentioned their behaviour to the lady in the box office and she mentioned that she had seen it too. One of the main difficulties was that there was a teacher with them who did nothing to challenge them and just left them to do their own thing. Staff mentioned that students visit free and we asked that they mentioned this behaviour to other staff and hopefully a letter would be written to the college concerned to explain to them about the concerns. It was really disgraceful. The staff offered to give us free tickets to come again, but we reluctantly had to refuse, but we thanked them for their gesture.
On the positive side there is lots of material on view, including stuff on computer screens which shows events from the early 1930's until the end of the war. We would have really enjoyed the visit if it had not been for the disrespectful students. I looked for the teacher afterwards so I could have words with him, but he was nowhere to be found. The fact that he tolerated such behaviour shows how little thought he gave to the place and the materials on display.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place was built for sound. Choose wisely for seats since if you are seeing a large concert maybe choose a little higher. Lower loges are no better than central and I prefer to see the entire show. Red Army Choir is my next. Pre pay parking and pre reserve dinner at local places makes things simple.Written December 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TAMAN1951Liberty Lake, WA6,678 contributionsAll big cities seem to have a Chinatown and Montreal does as well.
Not really large or spectacular but interesting nonetheless.
Shops and restaurants just as you would expect.
Worth a short visit if you are in the area but not a destination location.Written September 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Helen RCanmore, Canada196 contributionsNice walk from our hotel on Crescent Street. Could enjoy admiring all old buildings on route. $19 senior rate. Modern inside c efficient elevator to all 3 (?) floors of exhibits. Particularly loved Indigenous exhibit and the jacket they painstakingly created out of seal intestines. Ample opportunities to sit and watch short videos on same level. Clean bathrooms, always wonderful gift shops full of unique items, lockers to put belongings in, and coffee shop c privacy areas. Montreal old paintings were a bit TOO old for my liking. My recollection of Hx of Montreal back in 1830 sorely lacking, but still enjoyed and learned a lot. Introduced to term “Mile End”. Great job on both these exhibits.Written October 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LostInTimePittsburgh, PA11,872 contributionsThe old port area is great for a stroll. It’s very well maintained and has newer things like a huge iMax. I liked looking at all the boats.Written August 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
