Stroll along Montreal’s Old Port

The Old Port walk, a break by the St Lawrence

The Montreal audio-guided tour takes you along the Old Port promenade, beside the St Lawrence. This waterside walk offers a well-deserved interlude of nature, at the foot of Old Montreal.

A port turned leisure space

There are green spaces, basins, children's play areas, food trucks in summer and an ice rink in winter, as well as restaurants set right by the St Lawrence. The promenade offers fine views over the river and the downtown skyline. It is one of the favourite relaxation spots of Montrealers.
