old port of montreal

老港这一带有种独特的味道。看看海总是会让人的心情变得很美好~ 港口一直可以望见停着的私人游艇。附近的街道小而窄，有许多小店，可以边走边逛，走累了就停下来喝杯果汁什么的小憩一下，是非常附有情调的小街。

Even though it was winter it was a beautiful warm sunny day. We walked along the river and enjoyed the winter landscape. Most activities are closed in the winter but this is the time of the year you can walk in a less crowded environment and enjoy our winter climate.

Here in March. Ice melted...no skating. Slushy snow on walkways very hard to get around. Really nothing "old port" about it. Probably fun pier in summer, but sad there wasn't any historic aspect.

It snowed all 3 days we visited but that didn't stop us from walking along the Old Port. We enjoyed walking along and watching the people ice skating and there was a great path all around the area so we could enjoy from all angles. We dressed warm so it was a great experience and we enjoyed it. Went through a nice indoor market that had lots of boutique shops and clean restrooms. We also visited the history museum which is a must! They show a great interactive film before the tour (if you are interested) and we really learned a lot about the history of Montreal.

Best in summer time - sidewalks, cafes, street performers, quaint restaurants, music, shopping - a perfect place to just laze around and watch the world go by. Great to walk around in summerPicturous view of the St Lawrence river and in winter an ice skating rink.Recommend visiting in Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall

I love biking and it's great area to bike around. Very lively in the summer. Beautiful scenery when the weather is nice. I love those little refreshment stalls.

The Old Port has numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. However, as a European, it was quite small and not much of it appeared 'Old'. Quebec City is definitely better if you are searching for old North American architecture etc.

We visited Montreal in December, so the shops at Vieux-Port were closed, but we enjoyed the scenery. There's a great view of the St. Lawrence river, and an ice skating rink there. It was a nice place for a walk!

The old port district is a great place just for walking around, Many quaint bars & restaurants, shops, and buildings. You can spend an entire day at the Place Jacques Cartier, sitting at a sidewalk cafe and watching the people. There are street performers and often music.

A hodgepodge of Architectural styles from the 1700 onward. Montreal is not cheap but here the restaurants are even less cheap although there is a range of prices and cuisines Check out the Lord Nelson garden and sit have a drink or a full meal and enjoy some cool jazz...late spring, summer and early fall.

If you haven't been here in a while you're in for a surprise.Old meets new and it has a lot more there than used to be there.We went on a sunny day and had some sangria with some friends once it was too hot to walk. This is truly one of my favorite go to places in Montreal!

If in or visiting Montreal, this a must see!!This part of Montreal truly depicts the European style adopted back in the 18th century.There are a lot of shops and restaurants for you to enjoy.Would highly recommend a visit to this area of Montreal.

The area is charming, lively and inviting with beautiful architecture steeped in history.There’s always something going on, movies in the park, street performers, festivals, etc.

Because we traveled with our dogs, it was actually perfect that Old Port was closed in April when we were there in 2014. We were able to walk our dogs and look around. I can imagine how busy it gets in summer time when all the shops are open.
