Montréal Sights

  1. Ave du Mont-Royal

The nightlife here has surged to the point that it rivals boul St-Laurent, with bars and nightclubs ranging from the sedate to uproarious. Intimate shops, second-hand stores and ultra-modern boutiques offer the latest in urban chic.

  2. Jardin Botanique

    Montréal's Jardin Botanique is the third-largest in the world after London's Kew Gardens and Berlin's Botanischer Garten. Its wealth of flowering plants is carefully managed to bloom in stages. The sprawling rosebeds in particular are a sight in summer. Climate-controlled greenhouses house cacti, banana trees and 700 species of orchid. Bird-watchers should bring their binoculars.

  3. Labyrinth

    Located in an old aircraft hangar, the winding corridors, obstacles and surprises of the Labyrinth are a kid's delight, in English or French. Themes change regularly. It takes about one hour to get through the maze; small children may be frightened.
