Vieux-Port de Montréal

A lively and touristy spot in Montreal. This area is rich with history and old stories about the city’s past. We strolled along the scenic pathway by the river and enjoyed beautiful views of Habitat 67. One of the highlights was reading the well-written, bilingual stories displayed on billboards along the way — thoughtfully curated by the local authorities. The main pier area was bustling with food vendors, art and souvenir shops, vending machines, and street performers. There are plenty of benches, and we enjoyed relaxing on one while taking in the views. It’s a perfect place to spend time with family, friends, or loved ones. There are also at least three toilet facilities nearby, along with drinking water fountains.

Visited the Old Port during my trip to Montréal and absolutely loved how lively and scenic this place is. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed stroll by the water with beautiful views of the river and the historic architecture around. There’s so much to do street performers, food trucks, little shops, and plenty of benches to just sit and people watch. I really enjoyed just wandering around, grabbing a coffee, and soaking in the atmosphere. There are activities for everyone kids, couples, families from boat rides to renting pedalos or bikes. Even if you don’t plan any activities, just walking along the promenade feels refreshing. Would definitely recommend spending a few hours here if you’re visiting Montréal. Great place for photos too.

We took the cruise it is about 2.5 hours They give you one drink free and insist that you have it while waiting, there is plenty time on the ship to drink eat and everything so take your time. The storytelling and tour is fun to hear they need to make it bilingual if you don’t want that they have an app also which can be confusing. Over all a fun chilling experience. In the summer months great way to ditch the sun We didn’t eat on board

The old historic port, stretches for around 2kms and was used as early as the early 1600s by French fur traders. The surrounding town has a beautiful European feel, stunning architecture and so much character. Cafes, restaurants, shops and bars line the sidewalks and it’s a tourists delight. The eateries and bars are uniquely themed and so very picturesque- each telling a story of its own. You could easily spend an entire day here - lost in history, literature and of course, romance

A lovely port with a beautiful water view. There are fun activities that can be done there, such as the ferris wheel, and zip lining. There are also some nice food booths along the walkway.

Beautiful spot to see souvenirs, food trucks, people watch and the lovely water views. There are great vibrant outdoor restaurants nearby. Very busy, clean and entertaining area. The prices at the food trucks are more pricey. The lemonade was 7.50 CAD just as FYI.

The Vieux-Port de Montréal is absolutely stunning and full of life! There’s so much to see and do, from the breathtaking views on the Ferris wheel to the wide selection of delicious food options. Every business we visited was incredibly welcoming and kind, making the entire experience feel warm and inviting. The atmosphere is both serene and vibrant—perfect for taking beautiful pictures, enjoying a peaceful walk, or simply soaking in the historic charm. Families will love the dedicated kids’ area, complete with a fun jungle gym setup, and for the more adventurous, zip lining adds an exciting twist to the day. It’s the perfect spot for all ages and interests—highly recommend making this a key stop while in Montreal!

Great place to visit, very good vibe. It's better to park far away or in downtown, or can pay approximately 25 parking around old port area, if you are looking for to get free parking, forget. Better walk and enjoy the sight seeing.
