This two-hour walking tour covers the highlights and lesser-known places of Old Montreal, guided by FITZ MTL. The tour starts by walking through the narrow cobblestone streets of Old Montreal, the city's historic district, spending about fifteen minutes exploring this area. Next, the group visits Place Jacques-Cartier, the main public square and former marketplace, for approximately fifteen minutes. The route continues along Rue St-Paul, a well-known historic street, and passes by City Hall, notable for its architecture and the site of Charles de Gaulle's 1967 speech. The tour includes a ten-minute stop at the Phi Centre, an art gallery featuring avant-garde exhibits. It then moves on to the Montreal World Trade Centre, where modern architecture incorporates historic buildings and part of the old Ruelle des Fortifications. The final stop is a ten-minute pause at the Old Port of Montreal, offering views of the port and the St. Lawrence River. The guide adjusts the itinerary based on weather and participant interests, adding indoor locations during colder months. The tour is conducted in English and includes a local guide and local taxes. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Participants should dress appropriately for all weather conditions. Parking is difficult in Montreal, so arriving by car is not recommended.
