Though Montréal island is
a large 51km by 16km, the heart of the city is very manageable,
and is divided into Vieux-Montréal - along the St Lawrence
River - a downtown high-rise business core, on the south side
of the hill of Mont Royal, and the lively Plateau and Quartier
Latin neighbourhoods to the east. Sherbrooke, de Maisonneuve,
Ste-Catherine and René-Lévesque are the main
east-west arteries, divided into east ( est ) and west ( ouest
) sections by the north-south boulevard St-Laurent, known
locally as "The Main". |
Street numbers begin from St-Laurent and increase the further
east or west you travel: thus 200 rue Sherbrooke ouest is
about three blocks west of the Main and 1000 boul René-Lévesque
est is about ten blocks east of the Main. North-south street
numbers increase north from the St Lawrence River.
You're most likely to start by sampling the old-world charm
of Vieux-Montréal . The narrow cobblestoned streets,
alleys and squares are perfect for strolling, and every corner
reveals an architectural gem, from monumental public edifices
to the city's first steep-roofed homes. Close by, the Vieux-Port
holds the new iSci centre and is a departure point for getting
out on the water. To the north, in the compact downtown area,
the glass frontages of the office blocks reflect Victorian
terraces and the spires of numerous churches, clustered within
the shadow of the city's landmark, Mont Royal , which the
residents simply call "The Mountain". Meanwhile,
the mountain's eastern plateau is the spot where the city's
pulse beats fastest as the eateries and bars of The Main throng
with people day and night. On the city's outskirts the enormous
Stade Olympique complex and the vast green of the Jardin Botanique
are the main pull. Beneath street level the passages of the
Underground City link hotels, shopping centres and offices
with the Métro.
