Old Port of Montreal

The Old Port of Montreal is a historic waterfront along the St. Lawrence River, steps from Old Montreal’s cobblestone streets. Once the city’s commercial hub, it now blends heritage sites with waterfront paths, river cruises, and seasonal markets. Highlights include the Montréal Science Centre, La Grande Roue observation wheel, and access to Zipline MTL in summer and skating in winter. Cafés, galleries, and street performers add a lively atmosphere, while views of the skyline and Habitat 67 appeal to photographers. It’s an easy add to a central itinerary, especially for travelers who enjoy walkable history and varied, low-key activities.
