Walking Routes in Montreal

Old Montreal is where 400 years of history stack up in a few square blocks — 17th-century stone buildings next to 19th-century warehouses. Questo's routes cover the cobblestone streets, the Notre-Dame Basilica (whose interior makes Paris's look understated), and the revitalized Old Port waterfront. Three kilometers through North America's most atmospheric historic district.
