Downtown
Presented by Tourisme-Montréal.
Live from the core of Montréal. Encounter post-modern towers, historical office buildings, and great museums, galleries, shopping and restaurants. Below the busy streets is the famous underground city, an attraction unique in all of North America. This network of passageways connects over 1,700 boutiques and businesses.
Oddly enough, the construction of the city's first skyscraper sparked the beginning of the "city beneath the city". Place Ville Marie, built in the 1960s, was connected by an underground passageway to the Gare Centrale (train station).
