Exploring Downtown
Tour Description
For over a century and a half, Montreal was the industrial and financial center of Canada. The variety of buildings included factories, elevators, warehouses, mills, and refineries which today provide a legacy of historic and architectural interest, especially in the downtown area and the Old Port area. The architectural sites provide ample opportunities for exploration. Modern buildings are situated right next to some of the oldest and most fascinating structures.
