The Ultimate Montreal Weekend - Old Montreal - Old Port Montreal
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Travelers Andrew and Kate explore Montreal, Quebec, over a single weekend, focusing on the historic charm of Old Montreal and the activities available at the Old Port. The creators begin their journey in Old Town, where they visit a local cafe and admire the European style of the cobblestone streets and architecture. They highlight the Notre Dame Basilica as a significant tourist destination and mention the Aurora light show held inside the church. At the Old Port, the pair experiences the giant Ferris wheel, which provides 360 degree views of the city and the river. The itinerary also includes visiting the Montreal Botanical Gardens, which the creators recommend visiting near sunset to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and various gardens, including a First Nations garden. While they note that some famous topiary exhibits seen online may be outdated, they conclude that the gardens are still worth the visit. The weekend concludes with a meal at Galaxy Brasserie, where they enjoy steak frites and cheeseburgers.
