Downtown Montréal, favourite spot of locals and tourists alike

Life happens here! The heart of the metropolis is very popular with visitors from all over.
Its wide range of stores and many festivals, concert halls, and urban art make it a top destination.

The downtown area is also popular for its fine dining and terrasses. Whether it’s for a casual lunch or sipping a drink with friends, there’s something for every taste and every occasion!

Find out more from Anne-Andrée Daneau, arts lover and cultural columnist for the radio 98.5.

“Place des Arts exists to bring emotions to life. […] You get the impression that the room is alive and that the walls could speak to you.”
