Montreal - Free Self-Guided Audio Tour

Walk through centuries of Montréal’s soul, where cobblestone streets whisper tales of faith, commerce, and discovery. Begin in the shadow of the majestic Notre-Dame Basilica, explore historic squares and grand facades, and follow the path of early settlers to the river’s edge. From stately churches and old markets to the gleaming Clock Tower over the port, this route reveals the living tapestry of Old Montréal — a meeting of Old World charm and the vibrant rhythm of the present.
