    Centre de Commerce Mondial de Montréal

    The World Trade Centre is hidden completely behind the old facade of the ruelle des Fortifications. A lane marks the former location of the northern wall of the Old Town. Inside is a sweeping concourse with luxurious Italian fountains, an elegant carved stairway and a section of the Berlin Wall; above lie multiple layers of chic boutiques and stores.

    Place Montréal Trust

    One of downtown’s most successful malls, with enough rays from the skylights to keep shoppers on their day clock. Major retailers here include Athletes World Superstore, Indigo books, Mexx, Winners and Zara. It has a tremendous water fountain with a spout 30m high, and during the holidays a Christmas tree illuminates the five-story space.

    Complexe Desjardins

    This 1970s multifunctional complex links three office towers, a shopping mall and a big public plaza with atrium, trees and tinkling waterfalls in what’s still Montréal’s largest commercial building. The food court in the basement is usually buzzing with shoppers exhausted by the selection from 110 stores.

    Place Ville-Marie

    Begun in the late 1950s, Montréal’s first shopping complex marked the start of the underground city, was Montréal’s most important skyscraper for years and set the standards for similar complexes around the city. It now hosts around 80 boutiques, restaurants and service stores.
