Great area with an eclectic feel. There are loads of little antique shops just perfect for browsing, and there's some great architecture on view too with the old port, clock tower, art deco constructions and some fortress looking things as well!

What a stunning location! Was looking for somewhere dramatic to film a small sketch piece and this was just perfect. The huge tall blue buildings and the crowd sculpture are divine.

This stunning building impresses from the start with huge portico and dome, and the interior is just as grand. Nowadays inside is a marketplace and loads of lovely restuarants to choose from, making it a great place to get some history and lunch at the same time!!

This spectacular sphere rises up out of the trees as you near the Ile St Helene and it's no less amazing from the inside. Now dedicated to enviromnental issues there's all sorts of exhibits highlighting issues and promoting changes in the way we use our resources, as well as art. It's a great place to go.

Ile-Sainte-Helene it's best to get there by boat from the old port but the metro jean drapeau is the easiest

People still grimace about the 1976 olympics today in Montreal because despite the attention it bought to Montreal, it also went way over budget and failed to provide the legacy it had promissed. Nonetheless, its a must see. The tower especially is incredible as it is the tallest inclined tower in the world and has some great views from the top.
