Montreal is unusually good for travellers who want to spend time in the city without buying a ticket every few hours. Some of the best experiences are parks, neighbourhoods, markets and public spaces.
Climb Mount Royal
The Kondiaronk lookout is one of the highest-value free experiences in the city.
Walk Old Montreal
You can spend hours exploring the streets and public spaces of Old Montreal and the Old Port without paying admission.
Explore neighbourhoods
The Plateau, Mile End, Verdun and Little Italy reward unstructured walking.
Browse markets
There is no admission fee to browse Jean-Talon or Atwater Market. Your budget changes when the snacks start winning.
Use parks and the canal
Parc La Fontaine, the Lachine Canal paths and neighbourhood parks give you room to walk, picnic or slow down.
