Local gems in Montreal

Montreal rewards those who look beyond the obvious. The Atwater Library, one of the city's longstanding community institutions, offers a calm retreat for curious visitors. The Acadie neighbourhood captures everyday Montreal life away from tourist circuits. A stroll along Notre-Dame Street and around Place Ville Marie reveals the city's downtown rhythm, framed by the towers of 1000 de La Gauchetière and 1250 René-Lévesque. The Biosphere, Montreal Biodome, and Casino de Montréal add unexpected variety, while the Basilica of St Ann of Varennes — reachable via Quebec Route 125 — makes for a worthwhile day trip outside the city.
