  • Fabuluos
    By jjaani, 08/29/07
    I really had the feeling that I am in Europe. We took a walking tour with an official guide, Louis, it was amazing. Actually the new buildings were indistinguishable from the old one, because they have sort of melt it together. The style of the new buildings has to match the style of the old one next to it. I recommend everyone a walking tour in the Old Montreal. It takes about one and a half hours.

  • loved it
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/28/07
    perfect for couples taking a stroll, old european architecture, really beautiful! Walk to Place Jacques Cartier for street entertainers on the weekend, great for kids. Many restaurants in the area and towards the river many ice cream shops and places to rent bicycles/rollerblades. Perfect to go on the weekends

  • A Lovely Time
    By Glenn S, 08/06/07
    The Old City was lovely. There are plenty of shops and restaurants, all of which will gladly bear with you as you struggle with their language. We were there for 3 days and not a single local gave us any grief about our halting French.

    The architecture is beautiful and the proximity to the waterfront is a treat.

    Nothing is cheap but, hey, ...

  • Nice area ... rude locals.
    By jessie_hilson, 07/23/07
    Beautiful area, very historic. Lot's of cute boutiques and cafes. The only problem with it is the employees of the stores, cafes, etc. I have never come across so many snobbish people in my life. Typical French.

  • Old Montreal is AMAZING!
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/11/07
    Old Montreal was very picturisque and entertaining. There was so much to see and do. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. There are many attraction and cute little streets to absorb our time there. I found it very amusing and fun!

  • Nice but not for young kids
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/28/06
    Just walking through the streets makes you feel as though you are in Europe. The architecture is beautiful and people are relatively friendly as well. My three kids (all under 10), however, just could not appreciate the its artistic and historical elegance. They were happier going to the Biodome and Insectarium instead. The cathedral of Notre Dame was amazing...

  • Not very interesting
    By ilh369, 08/12/06
    It wasn't that interesting. The funest thing was a ride on a horse carridge. There's a lot of walking. And basicly thats all, and sight seeing (buildings).

  • Worth a visit
    By Vinod Rajan, 07/20/06
    Vieux Montreal (or Old Montreal) is the oldest area in Montreal, dating back to the colonial times (the 1600's). It is worth a visit for a tourist or new-comer. It is good to start with the 1hr30min cruise ride in the watters of Saint Lawrence River. Then you can take the 45-min bus ride and go around most important places. A visit to Basilique ...

  • Must See
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/10/06
    If you like mix of styles and good atmosphere - GO THERE!!! The place is simply charming. Go see the Notre Dame Basilica, walk through the streets and have a lunch at one of the restaurants. All of them are pricy but it is worth it. Feels like Europe..

  • Closest thing to Europe in North America
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/03/06
    Walking through the streets of Old Montreal is like walking down the streets of an old European city. Here you can visit the Notre Dame, and also go for a horse drawn carriage ride. The streets are lined with cobblestone which give you the feeling of being in an old city. Most of the people here are friendly and most are willing to speak to you ...
