What are the best neighborhoods for tourism in Quebec City and Montréal?

Posted by admin on April 17th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood cafe | 1 Comment »

We like live music of all kinds, pubs, theater, lively night life, art, architecture, museums, cafés, history, interesting people, etc. We don’t care about shopping and don’t have any children. We prefer to walk everywhere. It will be in September.

Montreal:

On Sunday afternoons, many people gather on the Mont-Royal mountain to play Tam-tams and picnic, play sports, have mock medieval fights, etc.

In September there will be the Chinese lanterns exhibition at the Botanical Gardens (this is right next door to the Olympic Stadium, if you want to go up and see the view).

The Plateau is artsy, hipster section, like Mont-Royal street, lots of vintage shops. You’ll see lots of interesting people.

For museums, downtown, you’ve got the Beaux-arts and the Contemporary arts museums…on Wednesday evenings, entrance is free to many museums.

There’s, of course, the Old Port (very touristy, but enjoyable). You can get your caricature drawn by a street artists and listen to street musicians.
