The artificial peninsula Cité-du-Havre was created to protect the port from vicious currents and ice. Here, in 1967, architect Moshe Safdie designed a set of futuristic cube-like condominiums for Expo '67 when he was just 23 years old – from a distance, they resemble a microscopic zoom-in on table salt. For deeper insight into the design (and a peek inside one of the dwellings), book a 90-minuted guided tour in advance.
You can get a distant view of Habitat 67 from the south stretch of the Old Port, especially near Rue du Port.
