What to do and see in The Underground City, Canada: The Best Things to do
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.

Guarantee of great sound, I am not an audiophile but it does not matter where you sit for a great sound experience. 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.

Although not as famous as the Notre-Dame Basilica it is still worth a stop! Beautiful interior and for someone trying to see the beauty of Montreal’s Cathedrals in a quiet and more private manner I would defiantly recommend going here over the Notre-Dame Basilica, as it is crowded
5. Golden Square Mile
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
From 1840 to 1930, the Golden Square Mile was home to Canada’s anglophone upperclass, the majority of which was made up of Scottish businessmen. Situated to the northwest of what is now Downtown Montréal, the neighborhood is defined by its Victorian mansions, noteworthy institutions, elegant stores, grand avenues, green spaces and monuments that call back to its early years when its residents represented nearly 70 percent of the wealth of Canada. The Square Mile is part of the Mount Royal natural and historical district and includes McGill University, the McCord Museum of Canadian History, the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts and many other attractions and landmarks to be discovered while strolling along Sherbrooke Street West. The term “golden” was added to the name in the 1950s by real estate developers to refer to the prosperity of the area. Originally spanning about one square mile, it is contained by a southern border of René Lévesque (formerly Dorchester Street), Mount Royal Park
