I always get itchy feet with my family to take away from hustle and bustle of city where we live and Qubec city was one of the best places for this purpose.
"We really enjoyed the walkability of Old Montreal. Lots of eating, shopping and sight seeing. The locals are especially helpful - if someone sees you looking vaguely lost, dont be surprised if they offer unsolicited help and even add ideas.. of their own. And found it very convenient to use transit to go many places."Read full review
"There are plenty of great restaurants in the area such as Kyo Bar Japonais, Les 3 Brasseurs (which is also a brew pub), Pub Brewsky (if you like beer!), Creperie Chez Suzette (good for breakfast), LOV; which is a Vegetarian/Vegan restauran..t, Ghandi; if you like Indian. There are good coffee shops nearby as well such as Xavier Artisan Coffee or Espace Cafe. Of course you have The Notre Dame Basilica right in the heart of it as well as plenty of buses running and a subway station."Read full review
"It actually looks like France for once Haha since the rest of the city is so modernized. They have pebblestone streets and old stone buildings and narrow streets. Very touristic. Prices of restaurants are high so if you want to budget, don..'t eat there."Read full review
"Wonderful to walk around and collect snapshots of beautiful old, unique architecture. Lots of shops and eateries if you want to just enjoy. From one end to the other, through lanes and bylanes, I walked for about 2 hours and it was a feast.. for the eyes. And we have also witnessed the beauty of Montmorency Falls."Read full review
"What a treat to roam these streets and stop in for a pastry along the way. Window shop while admiring the buildings. Our professional tour guide helped us to explore this amazing place and obtain amazing vibe. I loved walking up and down t..hose cobbled streets, drinking in the beautiful architecture,the lovely buildings and so many eateries."Read full review
"By all means walk all over the old section. The city is quite walkable and you can take in Old Montreal, the waterfront area, a museum or two - if you have the stamina! Stop for lunch at a local bistro, or enjoy dining in one of the museum..s. And you will feel relaxed and love this beautiful city."Read full review
"There were a lot of eateries to choose from and a small collection of stores with souvenirs and artisan products. I recommend dropping in to Olympico for a fab coffee in charming Italianesque surroundings. I got the impression that everyon..e was preparing for the season and we were there a bit early: not all shops open, attractions being tested etc. "Read full review
Still fun roaming the cobblestone streets even after having done so for decades of trips. Okay it's touristy and overpriced here and there but this area is so fun and so nice. Old Montreal is filled with charming shops and a plethora of eat..ing establishments. This is a must for the novice Montreal traveler and still fun for a visit for the seasoned pro. This is not a huge area and easy to do on foot in a half day.Read full review
"Had a great time. Nice hotel near everything. Highlights were l'afishiste (sp?), a shop dealing in original posters. The archaeology museum, and the cathedral of course. We were surprised at how walkable the city is. We never took the metr..o and had no problems. Old Montreal is fun with narrow cobbled streets and a wide range of opportunities for food. Don't miss the archaeology museum which is built straddling the site of early European settlement. Walking through the historic dig was fascinating. I'll return to old Montreal next time in summer just to see the difference but would recommend winter as well."Read full review
