About Montreal
Montreal is a French-speaking island city on the St Lawrence River, with a cobbled old port, a mountain park and a lively food and festival scene.
Montreal stands on an island in the St Lawrence River, rising to Mount Royal, the wooded hill from which it takes its name. Old Montreal has cobbled streets, stone warehouses and Notre-Dame Basilica, whose deep-blue vaulted interior is covered in gold stars. Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of New York's Central Park, laid out the park on the mountain, and a lookout over the downtown towers sits near its top.
Top-ranked sights in Montreal: Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal), Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal (Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal), Bonsecours Market (Marché Bonsecours).
