 Standing on Rue St-Laurent in
December 2004 by Carmanah
It's here on St-Laurent where you'll find a lot of great shopping and dining opportunities. Like St-Denis, the shops and restaurants on St-Laurent exist for the sake of Montrealers more than the tourists, which gives it a genuine and authentic Montreal experience.
At the southern end of St-Laurent is the Old Port of Montreal - the old historic neighbourhood. Up from the Old Port I found that a lot of the city's trendy clubs, lounges and bars were located here, or at least not far from it. The famous Schwart'z Deli (for smoked meat) is located on St-Laurent. Daniel Langlois's state of the art multimedia building "L'Excentris" is located here too. It's here where you can dine at the trendy, post-industrial Café Mélies.

 A medieval shop on
St-Denis on a December
evening. by Carmanah
Rue St-Denis is traditionally the French-speaking part of Montreal, and it's here where you'll find unique Montreal shops and restaurants, catering to Montrealers themselves, not tourists.
Note that many of the buildings on St-Denis have the wrought-iron staircases leading up to the main doors. It's an architectural style unique to Montreal. Leave a Comment Address: Rue St-Denis

 Montreal's Underground
City by Blatherwick
Although the urban planning achievement is impressive, the services are mainly shopping malls. However, this is a very useful thing when temperatures fall below zero and you want to stay warm. Leave a Comment Directions: Several different sections of underground city exist in Montreal. The largest is the centre of downtown, between Peel and Place-des-Arts metro stations on the Green Line and between Lucien-L'Allier and Place-d'Armes stations on the Orange Line.

 Square-Victoria métro station by marielexoteria
From Wikipedia (link below): "The most famous artwork, however, is one of Hector Guimard's art nouveau entrance porticos from the Paris Métro. One of the few authentic installations on a metro station outside Paris, it was given in 1967 by the RATP (Régie autonome des transports parisiens) to commemorate the collaboration of French and Canadian engineers in building the metro. It is located within Victoria Square on the Saint Antoine entrance, one of only four open-air entrances on the network (the others are located at Place-Saint-Henri and Bonaventure stations). It was recently removed, completely restored, and reinstalled."

 A view of the inside! (from
Café Campus website) by TravellingismylifeLeave a Comment Address: 57, Prince Arthur St.Phone: 514-844-1010Directions: Subway: station Sherbrooke, on the orange line. When you are outside, you'll see a park (St.Louis Square) on St.Denis St., walk through it and you'll arrive on Prince Arthur St. which is only for pedestrians. Café Campus will be on your right.Website: www.cafecampus.com

 Downtown Montreal by rmdwLeave a Comment

Christ Church Cathedral is this nice church I found while walking to Notre Dame. It's an Anglican church and the seat of the Anglican Diocese of Montreal. I liked the way it blended with the modern skyscrapers and the mall next door. There was some event going on and that's why I didn't get in (it seems that the Saturday I visited Montreal a lot of things were going on hehe).
