Bonsecours Market

Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal), one of North America's oldest neighborhoods, sits on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Renowned for its rich European charm, cobblestone streets, and well-preserved colonial architecture, it's often called "Little Paris of North America." This is the birthplace of Montreal's history, home to the city's most precious historical sites and cultural landmarks. Notre-Dame Basilica: This Gothic Revival building, begun in 1824, boasts a magnificent interior, with a stunning blue ceiling and exquisite wood carvings. Besides architectural exploration, its AURA multimedia light show is a popular attraction. Bonsecours Market: Featuring a striking silver dome, this former major agricultural market has been transformed into a cultural shopping destination with boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. Old Port of Montreal: A historic riverside area, now a vibrant leisure district. Here you can take a ride on the Grande Roue Ferris wheel for panoramic city views, or experience the zipline and boat rides. Place Jacques-Cartier: The social heart of the old town, it's bustling with street artists, open-air cafes, and flower markets in the summer, creating a very lively atmosphere. Enjoy the night view after dinner at one of the bars or restaurants in the old town is a delightful experience!

Very nice architecture! Apart from that, the place holds not a huge variety of shops, and mostly serves as a stop to get souvenirs and gifts. A little bland on the inside, but a gorgeous exterior.

Notable for its beautiful architecture. A few stores inside looked interesting. The food court seemed good, although I didn't try it. Paid parking is available in the vicinity. A must-see attraction for visitors to Old Montreal.

This is the landmark public market building along Rue St. Paul in Old Montreal. Fitted next to the historic Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, the Bonsecours Market was build in Neo-Classical style by William Footner between 1844-47 and features a column lined entrance and two storey dome. It has been recognised as a National Historic Site in Canada since 1984. The market building is attractive from the outside. Within you find a couple floors of shopping space lined with boutique retail, apparel and food shops, art galleries as well as a few places to grab a bite to eat. It is a neat venue to walk through and spend a bit of time while sightseeing around Old Montreal.

A Beautiful Piece of Montreal's History Bonsecours Market is, without a doubt, one of Montreal's most iconic and historically significant buildings. From the outside, it is absolutely stunning—a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture that stands proudly in Old Montreal. It's the kind of place that's great just to look at or to capture some beautiful photos, a true testament to the architectural style of its time. While the exterior is grand, the inside feels a bit different. It's clear that the building is historic, and while that charm is present, it feels like the interior could use a little more work to match the splendor of its facade. The name "market" is also a bit deceiving; don't expect a traditional market with fresh produce or bustling food stalls. It functions more like a high-end art gallery or a collection of boutique shops. The stores inside offer great, high-quality products, mostly from local artisans, which is wonderful to see. However, be prepared for prices to be a little on the higher side. It would also be great if there was more variety among the shops to offer a broader experience. In general, Bonsecours Market is a fantastic building to admire and a key piece of the city's heritage. It's worth a visit, especially if you appreciate architecture and unique, artisanal crafts.

This is one of the best markets in old Montreal to buy souvenirs. There are a number of shops, most of which sell souvenir items. Their products are og different designs and accommodate to different tastes and ages.

It's like an indoor market, lots of small shops that sells crafts and souvenirs, as well as clothing. Washrooms available on site, multiple gates in different direction. Nice to take a little walk inside, and may be buy a couple of things.

A beautiful historical building with shops selling souvenirs, Canadian food products and Indigenous crafts. There was one store selling beverages and snacks.
