Tourist Attractions & Monuments Montreal

A real bargain! With free access to no fewer than 48 museums for 3 consecutive days, the card is an interesting tool for those wishing to take advantage of their stay to discover a fine cross-section of the city's cultural heritage. It is particularly recommended for families traveling with children. For a single adult, it becomes profitable from the third visit onwards. It can be purchased on the website or at participating museums. Annual passes are also available.

A new Planetarium opened in the metropolis in 2013, in a purpose-built building in the heart of the Olympic Park, annexed to the Biodôme. Its innovative concept is at one with its reinvented approach, which sets it apart from other planetariums around the world. In addition to its exhibitions, it's above all its immersive shows that draw the crowds, including aurōrae, which lets you experience the intensity and beauty of the northern lights in 360°. A must-see! Also on site: a souvenir store and a vegan restaurant.

CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR WORK, Youville's Mother House is no longer available to the public. The walls of 1693, the time adjustments and the halls of the permanent exhibition "Walking in its Steps" trace the history of the Charon Brothers and Marguerite of Youville, founder of the Congregation of the Gray Sisters. The visit of this "Maison de Charity", inhabited by the Mother of Youville and the Gray Sisters in 1747, is provided by the religious. The furniture at the time remained intact. The whole life of this "house" has been reconstituted. Visits are free, but donations are always welcome, especially since these exceptional women continue to help the most disadvantaged. We also owe them Accueil Bonneau.

Gray Line offers walking and bus tours from the metropolis. Want to go further? The company also offers guided tours in the Laurentians, including Mont-Trembant, Quebec City and Montmorency Falls.

A wide range of excursions offered to fly Montreal and other tourist areas, in summer by plane and winter in hydraski.

This new museum and civic space replaces the Centre d'histoire de Montréal, which was located in Old Montreal. Its mission is to showcase Montreal's diverse identities through the testimonies of the city's various communities. At the time of writing, the Centre was in the first phase of opening, with a permanent exhibition scheduled for 2024. On-site coffee shop.
