Things to do in Montreal, Canada: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

As we walked west on Sherbrooke st, we were delighted to glance down Crescent street and see this inspiring, larger than life mural of Leonard Cohen, Montreal native. Hallelujah song, a complicated song, was one of his most enduring! Some of his remembered quotes: “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.”

Ste-Catherine Street is divided in two parts by St-Laurent Boulevard: East and West. The West Street is home to Complexe Desjardins, one of the most important skyscrapers of the city. The area is near the University of Quebec in Montreal and is home to shopping, music venues and the Musée d'art contemporain de Montreal.

Lots of cute shops. We walked down this street on our way to Old Montreal and it was the perfect route to window shop and enjoy the sights.
